FAQ
What devices are compatible with the AXIS T8120 PoE injector?
The T8120 is compatible with Axis network cameras, including PTZ and dome models, as well as Axis video encoders. It delivers 48 V DC output compliant with IEEE 802.3af, making it suitable for any PoE device that operates within its 15.40 W power limit. Always verify the power requirements of your specific camera or encoder to ensure compatibility.
Can this injector be used with both 110 V and 220 V power sources?
Yes, the T8120 supports dual input voltages of 110 V AC and 220 V AC, providing flexibility for deployments in regions with different electrical standards. This feature allows the injector to be used in North America, Europe, and other areas without requiring a separate voltage converter, simplifying international installations.
How many devices can be powered by this PoE injector?
This is a single-port injector, meaning it can power one PoE device at a time. It delivers power and data over a single Ethernet cable to a compatible camera or encoder. For powering multiple devices, you would need additional injectors or a PoE switch with multiple ports.
What are the mounting options for the T8120?
The T8120 is designed for wall mounting, with a compact form factor that allows installation on vertical surfaces such as walls, ceilings, or inside enclosures. This mounting flexibility helps keep the injector out of sight and protects cables, making it ideal for clean, professional installations in surveillance setups.
Does this injector support Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+)?
No, the T8120 complies with the IEEE 802.3af standard, which delivers up to 15.4 W per port. It does not support PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), which provides higher power levels. This makes it suitable for standard PoE devices like many Axis cameras, but not for higher-power devices requiring PoE+.
What certifications does the T8120 have for safety and emissions?
The T8120 carries multiple certifications, including cUL, UL, TUV, and CE for safety, and FCC Part 15 Class B and EN55022 (CISPR 22) Class B for electromagnetic emissions. These certifications ensure the injector meets regulatory requirements for use in commercial and residential environments, providing reliable and safe operation.
