Safety information (for AXIS High PoE Midspan only)

Installation and removal of the AXIS High PoE Midspan must be carried out by qualified

personnel only.

- AC Power Cable Set:

  • The power cable must have regulatory agency approval for the specific country in which it is used (for example, UL, CSA, VDE).
  • The power cable must be a three-conductor type (two current carrying conductors; one ground conductor) terminated on one end by an IEC 60320 appliance coupler (for connection to the AXIS High PoE Midspan), and on the other end by a plug containing a ground (earthing) contact.
  • The power cable must be rated for a minimum of 250Vac RMS operation, with a minimum rated current capacity of 5 amps (or a minimum wire gauge of 18 AWG (0.75mm^2) .
  • Note: AXIS High PoE Midspans installed in Australia require power cables with a minimum wire gauge of 16 AWG (1.0 mm ^2 ).

  • The AC wall socket-outlet must be near the AXIS High PoE Midspan and easily accessible. You can remove AC power from the AXIS High PoE Midspan by disconnecting the AC power cable from either the wall socket-outlet or the AXIS High PoE Midspan appliance coupler.

  • The AXIS High PoE Midspan data and data/power interfaces are qualified as SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) circuits according to IEC 60950. These interfaces can only be connected to SELV interfaces on other equipment.

WARNING!

  • Read the installation instructions before connecting the AXIS High PoE Midspan to its power source.
  • Follow basic electricity safety measures whenever connecting the AXIS High PoE Midspan to its power source.
  • A voltage mismatch can cause equipment damage and may pose a fire hazard. If the voltage indicated on the label is different from the power outlet voltage, do not connect the AXIS High PoE Midspan to this power outlet.
  • This product relies on the building installation for short-circuit (over current) protection. Ensure that a fuse or circuit breaker no larger than 120 VAC, 3A. U.S. (240 VAC, 1.5A international) is used on the phase conductor.
  • The AXIS High PoE Midspan "Data In" and "Data & Power Out" ports are shielded RJ-45 data sockets. They cannot be used as Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) telephone sockets. Only RJ-45 data connectors may be connected to these sockets.

Notice:

In keeping with its policy to improve products, as new technology, components, software, and firmware become available, Axis reserves the right to change specifications without prior notice.

Functions and features

The AXIS T8121 High PoE Midspan 1-port injects 48V DC power into data-carrying Ethernet cabling. It maintains IEEE802.3af specification parameters while doubling the output power. These power levels allowed a new range of Ethernet-based applications such as PTZ Cameras to use the High PoE Midspan.

Preliminary steps

  • Ensure AC power is applied to the AXIS T8121, using an operational AC cable with appropriate ground connection.
  • Ensure that output Ethernet cable is connected to the Data & Power Out port.
  • Verify that a power ready Ethernet compatible device or splitter is connected.

Note:

Do not use a cross over cable between the AXIS T8121 output port and the powered device.

Installation

  1. Connect the AXIS T8121 to an AC outlet (100-240 VAC), using a standard power cable.

  2. Connect the unit Data In jack (input) to your remote Ethernet network switch using an Ethernet cable.

  3. Connect the Data & Power Out jack (output) to your Axis splitter or camera, using an Ethernet cable.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Corrective steps
Midspan does not power up 1. Verifythat an approved power cable is used.2. Verify that the voltage at the power inlet is between 100 and 240V AC.3. Remove and re-apply power to the device and check the indicators during power up sequence.
A port indicator is not lit and the PD (powered device) does not operate1. The Midspan did not detect a PD; and the port is not enabled.2. Verify that the PD is designed for PoE operation.3. Verify that you are using a standard Category 5/5e/6, straight-wired cable, with four pairs.4. If there is a connected external power splitter, replace it to verify that it is functioning properly.5. Ensure that the input Ethernet cable is connected to the Data In port.6. Verify that the PD is connected to the Data & Power port.7. Try to reconnect the same PD into a different Midspan. If it works, there is probably a faulty port or RJ-45 connection.8. Verify that there is no shortcut over any of the twisted pair cables or over the RJ45 connectors.
The end device operates, but there is no data link1. Verify that the port indicator on the front panel is continuously lit.2. If an external power splitter is in use, replace it with a known good splitter.3. Verify that for this link, you are using standard UTP/FTP Category 5 straight (non-crossover) cabling, with all four pairs.4. Verify that the Ethernet cable length is less than 100 meters (33 feet) from the Ethernet source to the powered device.5. Try to reconnect the same PD into a different Midspan. If it works, there is probably a faulty port or RJ-45 connection.

Mounting instructions

The AXIS T8121 may be wall or bench mounted using the rear side holes.

Note the following before mounting the AXIS T8121 to a fixed location:

  • Do not cover the midspan or block the airflow to the product with any foreign object. Keep the midspan away from excessive heat and humidity, and free from vibration and dust.
  • Ensure that the cable length from the Ethernet network source to your Axis video product does not exceed 100 meters (333 feet). The midspan is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet data signal.
  • Use a splitter if desired; ensure that the splitter is connected close to your Axis video product and not to the Midspan.
  • There is no "on-off" switch; simply plug the AXIS T8121 into an AC power outlet.

To mount:

  1. Install two screws vertically at a distance of 9.17 cm (3.61") on the wall or shelf.
  2. Align the AXIS T8121 mounting slots to capture the surface screws.
