FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage of this PoE injector hub?
The AXIS 5012-004 delivers a maximum output voltage of -48V DC across all eight ports. This voltage level is standard for Power over Ethernet devices and complies with the IEEE 802.3af specification for safe and efficient power delivery to connected network equipment.
How many devices can this PoE injector hub power simultaneously?
This hub features eight 10/100Base-TX output ports, allowing it to power up to eight compatible PoE devices simultaneously. Each port delivers both data connectivity and -48V DC power, making it suitable for deployments requiring multiple powered endpoints from a single centralized unit.
Is this PoE injector compatible with the IEEE 802.3af standard?
Yes, the AXIS 5012-004 is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet standard. This compliance ensures proper device detection, automatic power management, and protection against overload or short-circuit conditions, providing reliable interoperability with a wide range of PoE-enabled network equipment.
What type of network devices is this PoE injector specifically compatible with?
The injector hub is specifically compatible with the Axis 211W Wireless Network Camera, as indicated in the product specifications. However, its IEEE 802.3af compliance means it should work with any PoE device that adheres to this standard, including IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other network endpoints requiring both data and power over Ethernet.
What are the network speed capabilities of this PoE injector's ports?
Each of the eight output ports supports 10/100Base-TX network speeds, meaning they can handle data transmission at either 10 Mbps or 100 Mbps. This makes the hub suitable for standard Ethernet networking applications where PoE power delivery is required alongside basic data connectivity for connected devices.
How does the midspan design of this PoE injector benefit network installation?
The midspan design allows the injector hub to be installed between an existing network switch and PoE devices without requiring changes to the core network infrastructure. This provides flexibility in deployment, simplifies installation in environments where PoE switches aren't available, and enables centralized power management for multiple endpoints from a single location.
