Axis 02172-004

Overview

The Axis 02172-004 is a single-port Power over Ethernet (PoE) midspan designed to deliver up to 30 watts of power alongside network data through a single Ethernet cable. It supports both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, making it suitable for powering devices like IP cameras, network speakers, and access control readers without requiring additional power outlets near the device. This midspan is ideal for upgrading existing networks to PoE or expanding coverage in locations where running new electrical wiring is impractical or costly.

Installation is simple: place the midspan between a non-PoE switch and the powered device, connect the Ethernet cables, and it immediately supplies power while maintaining data speeds up to 1000 Mb/s. Its compact size and flexible mounting options allow it to fit neatly in server rooms, retail ceilings, or security closets.

Connectivity and compatibility

This midspan integrates seamlessly with existing non-PoE network switches, injecting power into the Ethernet cable without disrupting data transmission. It supports a wide range of PoE and PoE Plus devices, including high-resolution IP cameras and network audio systems, making it a versatile choice for security, communication, and access control setups.

• Compatible with standard Ethernet cables and devices supporting IEEE 802.3af/at
• Maintains network speeds up to 1 Gbps for high-bandwidth applications
• Shielded connectors reduce electromagnetic interference for stable connections

Installation and setup

Setting up the Axis 02172-004 is straightforward and requires no special configuration. Simply connect the input port to your existing non-PoE switch and the output port to the powered device. The unit immediately begins supplying power while passing data, making it an efficient solution for adding PoE capability without network downtime or complex rewiring.

• Plug-and-play design for quick deployment
• Flexible mounting options to suit different physical environments
• LED indicators simplify troubleshooting and status verification

Ideal uses and environments

This midspan is well suited to environments where adding power outlets is difficult or expensive, such as server rooms, retail spaces, and security installations. It works well for powering single devices like IP cameras at remote entrances or network speakers in public areas, providing a clean and efficient way to deliver both power and data over one cable.

Technicians and installers will appreciate its compact size, durable design, and operating temperature range, which ensure reliable performance in a variety of indoor settings.

We act solely as a reseller. Any product warranty is provided and administered by the manufacturer, not by our store. That means eligibility, coverage, and outcomes are determined by the manufacturer’s policy for each brand and model. Before purchasing, we recommend reviewing the warranty terms on the manufacturer’s website or in the product documentation to confirm what is covered and for how long.

If you need warranty service, please file the claim directly with the manufacturer. They may require proof of purchase, the product serial number, original packaging, photos, or basic troubleshooting. Some brands ask you to register the product or obtain a case number before shipping it for repair or replacement. We don’t submit or approve claims, but we can point you to the correct support links and contact details.

Keep your invoice and packaging in a safe place, and report any functional issues to the manufacturer as soon as they appear. If you’re unsure whether a problem is covered, the manufacturer’s support team can confirm next steps and timelines. While we cannot intervene in decisions or outcomes, we’re happy to provide purchase documentation or guidance so you can move through the warranty process smoothly.
