STS-PE
Legacy SimulCharge Adapter with PoE
Legacy Product - Discontinued
The STS-PE is a SimulCharge adapter for compatible Samsung mobile devices. It provides Power over Ethernet (PoE) and Ethernet. LAVA SimulCharge technology allows the tablet to operate as a USB Host while continuously charging the battery.
Note: The STS PE is a discontinued LAVA product. If you are looking for an adapter with similar functionality, please check out the nSTS-PE, which also includes Docking Detect technology.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PoE allows network data and electrical power to be carried over an Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for an electrician to install a dedicated power drop. PoE allows the Samsung tablet and STS-PE to be placed up to 328 feet (100 meters) from its power source. It also provides superior tablet charging by converting the PoE signal to 5.2 volts for use by the tablet. This eliminates the issues associated with using the tablet’s original charger.
The STS-PE can be switched into Charge-Only mode to rapidly replenish the battery in the same manner as USB Charger with a Direct Charge Port (DCP) as defined by the USB Battery Charging specification v1.2.
The STS-PE can be used on its own, or as part of a third-party enclosure solution, supporting a variety of kiosk-type applications.

POWER
Power is provided over the 10/100-capable Ethernet connector from a PoE-enabled Network Switch. The PoE interface provides up to 10.4 watts of power for the STS-PE and tablet charging.
The Aux. 5V Input can optionally be used to power the STS-PE when no PoE is applied over the RJ45 LAN Connector. This power option is present for initial testing prior to enabling PoE. A standard USB Charger/Power Supply is used, such as that provided with the tablet. The power supply must not exceed 5.25 volts.
