Axis 5026-401

Overview

The Axis 5026-401 is a PoE+ over coax adapter kit designed to upgrade existing analog CCTV systems to IP surveillance without replacing the coaxial cables already installed. It enables the transmission of both power and data over a single coax cable for distances up to 328 feet, supporting modern Axis network cameras with the bandwidth and power they require. This kit is ideal for environments where rewiring is costly or disruptive, such as schools, retail stores, healthcare facilities, and industrial sites.

Key features

• Converts existing coaxial cable infrastructure to support IP cameras with PoE+ power delivery, eliminating the need for new cable runs.
• Includes two matched units: a Device Unit that connects near the camera and a Base Unit that links to the Ethernet switch, working together to transmit data and power.
• Supports distances up to 328 feet, making it suitable for long corridors, parking lots, and remote buildings.
• Built-in LED indicators provide clear status on network link, speed, and power, simplifying installation and troubleshooting.
• Optional local power supply inputs (12 V DC or 24 V AC) allow support for cameras requiring more power than standard PoE+.
• Flexible mounting options include wall, rack, and DIN rail installations, accommodating various physical setups and crowded spaces.
• Helps reduce labor costs and project timelines by reusing existing coax cables while enabling higher resolution video and advanced IP camera features.

Key specs

• Power over Ethernet standard: PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at)
• Maximum cable distance: 328 feet (100 meters) over coaxial cable
• Power input options: PoE+ via coax, optional 12 V DC or 24 V AC local power supply
• LED indicators: network link, link speed, and power status
• Mounting options: wall, rack, DIN rail
• Included units: Device Unit (camera side), Base Unit (network side)

Connectivity and compatibility

This adapter kit seamlessly integrates with existing coaxial cable infrastructure, allowing you to connect modern Axis IP cameras to your Ethernet network without rewiring. The Device Unit connects directly to the camera’s network port, while the Base Unit interfaces with your Ethernet switch. The system supports PoE+ power delivery, ensuring cameras receive sufficient power over the coax cable. Optional local power inputs provide flexibility for cameras with higher power demands.

Installation and setup

Installation is straightforward with the two-piece kit designed for easy mounting near the camera and in the control room or wiring closet. The clear LED indicators on each unit help installers verify network connectivity and power status quickly, reducing setup time and troubleshooting. The flexible mounting options allow placement on walls, racks, or DIN rails, adapting to various environments and space constraints.

Ideal uses and environments

The Axis 5026-401 is well suited for upgrading legacy analog CCTV systems in locations where running new Ethernet cables is impractical or expensive. It works effectively in schools with existing coax runs, retail chains requiring overnight upgrades, healthcare facilities that cannot afford downtime, and industrial sites with challenging cable routes. This kit enables access to IP camera benefits such as higher resolution video, remote monitoring, and advanced analytics while minimizing disruption and cost.

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.
