PoE=passive vs active

Recommended Posts

Hey all I recently bought 2 IP cameras 1 is a Schlage wce-100 and I flashed to over to North Q so it could be used freely, the other is a Motorola RC4020 which is actually the same as the schlage camera. Both cameras are 5v, I am looking at buy an 8 port PoE injector and since these cameras aren't really PoE they would need a Splitter. So in my research I see there are active and Passive Splitters. From what Ive found Is that the only real difference is the Active has a long running distance about 130 meters and Passive has about 100-130feet.

 

Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Active PoE splitters have active components inside which require power to fuction, some utilizes PoE power others have external power supplies.
