AXIS PoE Splitter - 90 W

The AXIS PoE Splitter - 90 W is a compact, high-performance power solution designed to simplify powering non-PoE devices from a PoE-enabled network. Built for professional surveillance deployments, this splitter delivers a robust DC power feed while preserving the integrity of data transmission over a single Ethernet cable. Ideal for Axis IP cameras, encoders, and other Axis devices that require a DC power source but don’t natively support PoE, this accessory unlocks flexible placement, cleaner cabling, and easier integration into existing network infrastructure. With up to 90 watts at its disposal, it provides reliable headroom for power-hungry devices and longer cable runs, making it a dependable choice for both new installations and upgrades to established Axis ecosystems. Whether you’re equipping a bustling campus, a multi-site business, or a remote location, this PoE splitter helps you maximize performance while minimizing wiring complexity.

• Powerful, reliable DC output: The AXIS PoE Splitter handles up to 90 W from a PoE source, providing a steady DC supply to the connected device. This capability supports high-demand Axis devices and other DC-powered equipment in environments where a traditional power outlet is not readily available. The high-wattage design ensures consistent performance across longer cable runs and challenging installation scenarios, reducing the risk of underpowered cameras or accessories that could compromise security coverage.
• Axis ecosystem compatibility: Engineered to work seamlessly with Axis IP cameras, encoders, and related equipment, this splitter integrates smoothly into the AXIS ecosystem. It preserves the essence of PoE—data and power travel on the same Ethernet cable—so setup remains straightforward and maintenance stays minimal. By aligning with Axis management tools and workflows, the splitter enables reliable surveillance results, streamlined firmware updates, and cohesive device management across sites.
• Effortless installation and compact form: Designed with professional deployments in mind, the AXIS PoE Splitter features a compact, rugged housing that fits neatly behind cameras or inside equipment enclosures. Its simple, tool-free installation reduces on-site downtime. To deploy, connect an Ethernet cable from a PoE switch or injector to the splitter’s input, then connect the DC output to your device’s power input. The result is a clean, efficient power-and-data solution that minimizes cable clutter while delivering dependable performance in busy environments.
• Flexible deployment options: The splitter supports diverse installation scenarios, from new builds to retrofits in existing networks. By delivering DC power over the same network line used for data, it enables camera placement in spots where a dedicated power outlet would be impractical—such as above ceilings, on poles, or in tight enclosures—without sacrificing reliability. This flexibility helps scale your Axis security solution over time and makes it easier to extend coverage to new areas as needs evolve.
• Durability, safety, and reliability: Built for professional use, the AXIS PoE Splitter emphasizes robust operation in demanding environments. The design focuses on stable power management, minimizing risk to connected devices and sustaining network performance. Its dependable construction supports long-term operation in surveillance applications where uptime matters, delivering peace of mind for security teams and facility managers alike.

Technical Details of AXIS PoE Splitter

• Power input: Up to 90 W PoE power from a compatible Ethernet source.
• DC output: Provides a dedicated DC power path to the connected device via a standard connector; exact voltage and polarity are determined by the connected equipment (consult the device’s power specifications and the AXIS splitter documentation for specifics).
• Data transmission: Maintains standard Ethernet data transfer over the same cable while delivering PoE power to the connected device.
• Form factor: Compact, rugged housing designed for discreet installation behind cameras, inside enclosures, or in equipment racks.
• Compatibility: Optimized for Axis PoE-enabled devices and compatible with typical PoE switches and injectors used in professional surveillance networks.

How to install AXIS PoE Splitter

• Prepare your PoE source: Ensure your PoE switch or injector can supply up to 90 W and supports the appropriate PoE standard for your deployment. Verify that the installed equipment has the capacity to handle the combined load of the splitter and the connected device.
• Connect the network input: Run an Ethernet cable from the PoE source to the splitter’s PoE input port. This port accepts standard PoE data and power from the switch or injector, enabling the splitter to harvest power while maintaining network connectivity.
• Attach the powered device: Connect the DC input of your Axis device (camera, encoder, or other PoE-powered equipment) to the splitter’s DC output. Use the correct DC connector and match the polarity as specified by the device manufacturer to avoid damage.
• Power on and verify: Reconnect network power and verify that the device powers up normally and begins communicating on the network. Check the device’s status indicators and, if applicable, use Axis management tools or your NVR to confirm connectivity and integration.
• Route and secure: Tidy the cabling and secure the splitter in its mounting location. Ensure adequate ventilation to prevent heat buildup and protect cables from physical stress. This helps maintain long-term reliability in busy installations and keeps equipment out of sight for a clean, professional look.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: What is the AXIS PoE Splitter used for? A: It enables DC-powered operation for non-PoE devices by extracting power from a PoE-enabled network. This is especially useful for Axis IP cameras, encoders, and other Axis equipment that require DC power but do not natively support PoE.
• Q: Which devices are compatible? A: The splitter is designed to work with Axis PoE-enabled devices and other equipment that can be powered via PoE. It pairs with standard PoE switches and injectors to deliver power over Ethernet while maintaining data communication.
• Q: Is 90 W sufficient for my setup? A: The splitter is designed to deliver up to 90 W from the PoE source. Always confirm your device’s power requirements and the PoE source capacity to ensure you have adequate headroom for reliable operation and any potential power spikes.
• Q: Does it affect data transmission? A: No. Data and power are carried over the same Ethernet cable using standard PoE methods, so data integrity and network performance are preserved while power is supplied to the connected device.
