PoE adapter Axis 5025-281

AXIS T8129 extends Ethernet and PoE beyond the standard 100 m (328 ft) limit, allowing Axis network video products to be installed at greater distances. By adding one AXIS T8129 for each additional 100 m (328 ft) of cable, both data and power can be carried further depending on the connected camera model and power source. The unit draws power from a single PoE switch or midspan and does not require a separate power supply, simplifying installation. It provides two Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports with automatic configuration of link speed, duplex and crossover while maintaining full-rate network throughput.

Advantages

The PoE adapter eliminates the need for extra power cabling by receiving power from a single PoE source, reducing installation complexity. Automatic negotiation of link speed, duplex and crossover on both Ethernet ports ensures compatibility and plug-and-play operation. With maintained full-rate throughput, the adapter supports high-bandwidth video streams without degrading network performance.

Suitable for

• Extending network cameras beyond 100 m (328 ft)
• Installing IP cameras where additional power outlets are not available
• Expanding PoE deployments across long cable runs in surveillance systems

Key specifications

• Brand: AXIS
• Model / MPN: 5025-281
• Ethernet LAN (RJ-45) ports: 2
• PoE support: extends PoE from a single PoE switch or midspan (compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at per product family)
• Cable extension: adds connectivity for each extra 100 m (328 ft) segment

How to use

Install the AXIS T8129 inline on the Ethernet cable run at the point where the cable length exceeds 100 m (328 ft). Connect one Ethernet port to the upstream PoE switch or midspan and the other port toward the network camera. The adapter draws power from the PoE source and automatically configures link settings on both ports. If extending further, add additional AXIS T8129 units for each additional 100 m segment required.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, verify compatibility between the camera model and the PoE power budget of the upstream switch or midspan. Use appropriate CAT5e or higher cabling and observe recommended grounding and surge protection practices in outdoor or electrically noisy environments.
