Edwin_Perez · February 25, 2024, 12:59am

Does any one use a POE splitter with the HDHR OTA units if you do can you let me know the ones you use ?

Thanks in advance.

Didn't even know you could do that. Which units are compatible?

bnhf · February 25, 2024, 5:06pm

Are the HDHR units 5V3A? 15W or thereabouts?

I am tired of these large wall warts.

Looks like they range from 5 to 12v, 1 to 2/12 amp depending on model.

I've used this unit before with older Raspberry Pi's, and its worked well:

You'd need to source a 1.35mm x 3.5mm to 1.7mm x 4.00mm adapter though. The question is whether that adapter can be found in the US -- you might need to get it from China.

I found this on reddit ... My problem is that I know squat about AMPS etc ...

You could use this splitter and splice one of these on the end

Edwin_Perez · February 25, 2024, 5:52pm

Thanks added to my list I am going to try these ... The HDHR units are only 100 ethernet.

Non splice adapter here

The drawback to that is he's going to be using two adapters. It'd probably be fine, but it's another point of portential failure.

Edwin_Perez · February 25, 2024, 6:24pm

Thanks all for your contributions ... Will let you all know Mon/Tues if and when I get it to work. I was more worried about the Model: 4.0mm x and you guys gave me options ... Thanks

Edwin_Perez · February 28, 2024, 11:51pm

I got my HDHR units on POE using .... Thanks all.

I just tried these units with Prime tuners, and they don't seem to see ethernet.

Am I missing something? Or will these not work with the Prime model?

Edwin_Perez · November 4, 2024, 8:18pm

I have not tried these with my primes only the ota tuners which I have all connected to POE ... I could test a prime.

@maddox .. I got ethernet ... What I always do with these adapters is connect the device to the POE switch and the ethernet port on the device then I connect the Power ... Always connect the power last to the hdhr device.
