Product Overview
When mains power is unavailable or impractical at a surveillance location, the AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC provides a purpose-built solution for delivering Power over Ethernet to compatible Axis network devices. This compact PoE midspan accepts either 24V AC or 10-28V DC input, converting available low-voltage power into IEEE 802.3at output of up to 30W. Featuring plug-and-play operation, it is suited to retrofit installations where existing 24V AC cabling is already in place, as well as remote deployments relying on battery backup, solar power, or equipment-sourced DC power. It supports both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, giving installers flexibility across a range of compatible Axis cameras, intercoms, and network audio devices. With a 3-year warranty, the 02208-001 is a practical accessory for professional installations where conventional mains power cannot be used.
Key Capabilities
30W PoE+ Output
Delivers up to IEEE 802.3at 30W of Power over Ethernet to a connected Axis device. This covers the full PoE+ power class, making it practical for cameras and network devices that draw more than the basic 15.4W offered by IEEE 802.3af.
Dual AC/DC Input Flexibility
Accepts 24V AC or 10-28V DC input, allowing installers to use whatever low-voltage power source is already present on site. This removes the dependency on a standard mains outlet and opens up a wider range of installation environments.
Retrofit-Ready AC Input
The 24V AC input path is designed for retrofit scenarios where existing low-voltage AC cabling is already run to a location. This avoids the cost and disruption of replacing power infrastructure just to support a new PoE network device.
Battery and Solar DC Compatibility
The wide 10-28V DC input range supports installations powered by battery backup systems, solar panels, or equipment cabinets. This makes the midspan usable in remote or off-grid surveillance points where mains power is not reachable.
Plug-and-Play Deployment
Designed for straightforward installation without complex configuration steps. Once connected to a suitable input power source and a compatible Axis PoE device, the midspan operates immediately, reducing installation time and minimising setup errors.
Best For
- Retrofit Camera Upgrades: Sites with existing 24V AC low-voltage cabling can use this midspan to power a new Axis PoE camera without running new mains wiring.
- Solar and Battery-Backed Installations: The 10-28V DC input allows a solar or battery system to supply power through the midspan to a connected Axis network device.
- Remote and Cabinet Installations: Equipment enclosures, utility cabinets, ATM housings, and remote outdoor locations where only low-voltage power is available can use this midspan to supply PoE locally.
- Axis PoE Cameras and Network Devices: Any compatible Axis PoE device drawing up to 30W can be powered using this midspan when a PoE switch or mains-powered injector is not available or suitable for the installation.
Why Choose the AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC
A standard mains-powered PoE injector will not help when a site has no accessible mains outlet at the camera location. The AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC specifically addresses this by accepting 24V AC or 10-28V DC, covering two common non-mains power scenarios in a single accessory. Its IEEE 802.3at output of up to 30W supports Axis PoE cameras and network devices across both PoE and PoE+ power classes, meaning one midspan model handles a broad range of Axis equipment. The plug-and-play design means no additional configuration is required, which matters on remote or difficult-access installations where simplicity saves time. For integrators and installers sourcing power accessories through Security Wholesalers, the 02208-001 is the correct Axis-specific midspan for non-mains installations requiring up to 30W PoE output, backed by a 3-year warranty.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm Your Input Power Source First: Before purchasing, identify exactly what power is available at the installation point. If 24V AC is already cabled to the location, this midspan is a direct fit. If the site uses a battery or solar system, check that the output voltage falls within the 10-28V DC input range. If standard 230V AC mains is available at the mounting point, a conventional mains-powered PoE injector may be a simpler choice for that location.
Check the Connected Device’s Power Draw: The midspan outputs up to 30W, which covers most Axis PoE cameras and network devices. However, before connecting, confirm the Axis device’s maximum PoE power consumption does not exceed 30W. Devices with built-in heaters, high-power PTZ motors, or multiple internal components may approach or exceed this limit and would require a higher-output power source.

Ideal Use Cases
Retrofit Surveillance Upgrades
Sites with existing 24V AC low-voltage wiring can connect this midspan in-line to power a new Axis PoE camera without disturbing the power infrastructure already in place.
Solar-Powered Remote Cameras
Off-grid surveillance points powered by solar panels and battery storage can use the 10-28V DC input to convert available DC power into PoE output for a connected Axis camera or network device.
Battery Backup Installations
Where mains power may be interrupted, a battery backup source within the 10-28V DC range can supply the midspan to keep a critical Axis PoE device operational during an outage.
Equipment Cabinets and Enclosures
Industrial enclosures, ATM-style housings, and utility cabinets where DC power is already available internally can use this midspan to add a PoE network device without external mains connectivity.
Harsh and Remote Outdoor Locations
Access roads, perimeter fences, remote yards, and utility sites where running mains cabling is not viable can be served by this midspan where any compatible low-voltage AC or DC source is nearby.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: The installation point has 24V AC or a DC power source between 10V and 28V available, and the connected Axis PoE device draws no more than 30W. This is the appropriate choice for retrofit, solar, battery-backed, or cabinet-based Axis deployments where mains power is not accessible.
- Choose a different model if: Standard 230V AC mains power is available at the camera location, in which case a conventional mains-powered PoE injector or PoE switch would be a more direct solution. If the connected Axis device requires more than 30W of PoE power, a higher-output power source will be needed for that specific device.
FAQs
- What does the AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC actually do?
It converts an available 24V AC or 10-28V DC power source into Power over Ethernet output, supplying both power and data connectivity to a compatible Axis PoE network device over a single Ethernet cable. This allows Axis cameras and other PoE devices to be installed at locations where a mains-powered PoE switch or injector is not practical.
- What input power sources does this midspan support?
The midspan accepts 24V AC or a DC input within the 10-28V range. The AC input suits retrofit installations with existing low-voltage cabling, while the DC input range covers battery banks, solar charge controllers, and equipment cabinet power sources that output within that voltage window.
- How much PoE power can it deliver to a connected device?
It delivers up to 30W of PoE output, compliant with IEEE 802.3at (PoE+). It also supports IEEE 802.3af for devices requiring less than 15.4W. The connected Axis device must not exceed 30W total power consumption for the midspan to supply it correctly.
- Is this midspan suitable for outdoor cabinet or remote surveillance installations?
Yes. The 10-28V DC input is specifically useful for remote equipment cabinets, off-grid surveillance points, and outdoor enclosures where a solar panel system or battery source provides DC power locally. The midspan converts that DC supply into PoE output for the connected Axis device without requiring mains connectivity at the site.
- Which Axis devices are compatible with this midspan?
It is compatible with Axis PoE network devices that draw up to 30W. This covers a wide range of Axis cameras and network devices within the PoE and PoE+ power classes. Before installation, check the maximum PoE power consumption listed in the datasheet for the specific Axis device being connected to confirm it falls within the 30W output limit.
- Does it require any configuration or software setup?
No. The AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC is plug-and-play. Once connected to a compatible input power source and a supported Axis PoE device, it begins supplying power without any configuration steps. This makes it straightforward to deploy on remote or difficult-access installations where reducing on-site setup time is important. It is available through Security Wholesalers as part of the Axis accessories range.
