FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage of the AXIS 5012-014 PoE midspan?
The AXIS 5012-014 delivers -48V DC output voltage across all 16 ports. This standard PoE voltage ensures compatibility with IEEE 802.3af compliant devices while providing sufficient power for most PoE endpoints like wireless access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones.
How many devices can this PoE hub power simultaneously?
This 16-port midspan can power up to 16 PoE devices simultaneously, with each port delivering -48V DC power compliant with IEEE 802.3af standards. The hub manages power distribution across all ports while maintaining data connectivity for each connected device.
What Ethernet standards does the 5012-014 support?
The hub supports 10/100Base-TX Ethernet across all 16 output ports, providing Fast Ethernet connectivity (100 Mbps) while maintaining backward compatibility with 10 Mbps devices. This makes it suitable for most network applications where PoE power delivery is required alongside data transmission.
Is this PoE midspan compliant with industry standards?
Yes, the AXIS 5012-014 is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af standards. This compliance ensures interoperability with a wide range of PoE devices, provides built-in safety protections against electrical faults, and guarantees reliable power delivery up to 15.4 watts per port.
What is the difference between a midspan and an endspan PoE solution?
A midspan PoE injector like the 5012-014 sits between a non-PoE switch and powered devices, adding power to existing Ethernet cables. This differs from endspan solutions (PoE switches) that integrate power directly into the switch. Midspans allow PoE deployment without replacing existing network switches.
What types of devices are compatible with this PoE hub?
The 5012-014 is compatible with any IEEE 802.3af compliant PoE device, including wireless access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, network sensors, and other powered network equipment. Its -48V DC output and standard compliance ensure broad interoperability across vendor equipment.
