Module to regulate power supplied on Power-over-Ethernet connection down to 12Vdc for supply to the on-board voltage regulator in an Arduino Duemilanove, Freetronics TwentyTen, or other compatible board using the Freetronics Ethernet Shield.

Features:

• Adds Power-over-Ethernet "PD" (powered device) support to the Freetronics Ethernet shield.
• Input voltage range 14-24Vdc.
• Output voltage limited to 12V and fed to Arduino on-board voltage regulator via Ethernet shield for further regulation down to 5V.
• Input protection diode to prevent damage due to reverse polarity.
• Plugs directly onto Freetronics Ethernet Shield.
• "Power on" LED.
