Product SKU: TU8002-E
Product Overview
For installations where a PoE switch is not available or practical at the device end, the AXIS TU8002-E 90W PoE Midspan provides a straightforward way to inject both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. Delivering up to 90 watts of PoE output, it supports high-draw network devices including PTZ cameras, radar fusion units, network speakers and multi-sensor solutions that exceed the limits of standard PoE switches. Built with outdoor suitability in mind, the TU8002-E is weather-resistant and designed for deployment in exposed locations where bringing a powered switch close to the device is not feasible. Featuring Cat5e or higher compatibility, it works within existing Ethernet infrastructure without requiring specialist cabling. It is well suited to security integrators and AV system designers who need reliable high-power delivery at remote or perimeter installation points without running separate mains power feeds to each device location.
Key Capabilities
90W High-Power PoE Output
Supplies up to 90 watts over a single Ethernet cable, enabling devices that exceed standard PoE budgets – such as PTZ cameras, radar units and network audio systems – to operate without a dedicated local power feed.
Outdoor-Ready Weather Resistance
Designed for deployment in outdoor environments, the TU8002-E handles exposed installation points where a standard indoor PoE switch or injector would not be suitable, reducing the need to run long cable returns to indoor equipment rooms.
Single Cable Power and Data
Combines network data and power delivery over Cat5e or higher Ethernet cabling, removing the need for a separate mains power outlet at the device location and simplifying both conduit planning and installation labour.
Midspan Placement Flexibility
As a midspan injector, the TU8002-E can be positioned between an existing non-PoE network switch and the endpoint device, integrating into existing network infrastructure without requiring a full switch replacement.
Best For
- Outdoor High-Power Devices: Supplies up to 90W directly at perimeter locations, supporting PTZ cameras, radar units and multi-sensor cameras that draw more power than a standard 30W or 60W PoE port can deliver.
- Sites Without Nearby PoE Switching: Where the nearest PoE-capable switch is housed in a central equipment room and cable runs extend to outdoor device clusters, the TU8002-E allows power injection at or near the device without a separate mains connection.
- Existing Non-PoE Infrastructure: Works as a midspan between a legacy non-PoE switch and a new high-power device, allowing PoE capability to be added without replacing existing switching infrastructure.
Why Choose the AXIS TU8002-E 90W PoE Midspan
The TU8002-E addresses a specific installation challenge: powering high-draw network devices in outdoor locations where neither a PoE switch nor a mains power outlet is available close to the device. A standard 15W or 30W PoE injector cannot support PTZ cameras, radar-camera fusion units or network speakers at full operating load, and an indoor-only injector cannot be mounted in exposed outdoor positions. The TU8002-E closes both gaps with its 90W output capacity and weather-resistant construction, making it a practical choice for security integrators designing perimeter systems, wide-area monitoring networks or large-site audio installations. It works over Cat5e or higher cabling already present in most commercial installations, avoiding the cost of specialist wiring. Available through Security Wholesalers, the TU8002-E is part of the AXIS accessory range and is designed to complement AXIS cameras and network devices operating in demanding environments.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip 1 – Confirm Your Device’s PoE Power Draw: Before deploying the TU8002-E, check the maximum PoE power consumption of the target device. While the midspan supplies up to 90W, not all devices will draw that full amount. Confirm the device’s IEEE 802.3 PoE class and input power rating to ensure compatibility and avoid under-specifying or over-specifying the injector for your application.
Buyer Tip 2 – Plan for Ethernet Cable Run Length: PoE injectors, including the TU8002-E, are subject to the same 100-metre Ethernet distance limit as standard network cabling. If your device is located more than 100 metres from the midspan placement point, a network switch or repeater will be needed within that run. Plan your cable routing before ordering to avoid on-site rework.

Ideal Use Cases
Outdoor PTZ Camera Installations
PTZ cameras mounted at perimeter fencelines, car parks or building corners often draw more power than a standard PoE port provides. The TU8002-E’s 90W output supports full PTZ operation including zoom motors, IR illuminators and heaters in a single cable run.
Radar and Multi-Sensor Deployments
Radar-camera fusion units and multi-sensor panoramic cameras installed on poles or building facades at remote site locations require both high power and outdoor-rated injection. The weather-resistant TU8002-E is built for exactly these demanding installations.
Network Audio and Intercom Systems
Outdoor PoE speakers, horn speakers and intercom stations in car parks, loading docks or building entrances may require elevated power levels. The TU8002-E delivers up to 90W to audio endpoints where running a separate mains feed is impractical.
Legacy Network Upgrades
Sites with existing non-PoE switching infrastructure can add high-power PoE capability at specific device locations using the TU8002-E as a midspan, avoiding a full switch replacement while still supporting new high-draw AXIS devices.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: Your target device draws more power than a standard 30W PoE port can supply, or if you need to install a high-power PoE device in an outdoor location without a nearby PoE switch or mains power outlet.
- Choose a different model if: You need to power multiple devices from a single unit. A PoE switch with sufficient per-port budgets and enough ports may be a more efficient solution than deploying individual injectors for each device, particularly for new-build or structured-cabling installations.
- Choose a different model if: Your device’s PoE power draw is within the 15-30W range of standard PoE. A lower-rated PoE injector may be more appropriate and cost-effective for devices that do not need the TU8002-E’s 90W capacity.
FAQs
- What is a PoE midspan and how does it differ from an endspan?
A midspan is an inline device placed between an existing network switch and the endpoint device. It adds PoE power to the Ethernet cable without replacing the switch. An endspan is a PoE-capable switch that injects power directly from its own ports. The TU8002-E suits sites where an existing non-PoE switch is already in place and a full switch replacement is not warranted. - What types of devices can the TU8002-E power?
It is suited to any PoE-compatible network device that requires up to 90W of input power over Ethernet, including high-draw PTZ cameras, radar-camera fusion units, multi-sensor cameras, network speakers and access points. Always verify your specific device’s maximum PoE power requirement before deployment. - Is the TU8002-E suitable for outdoor installation?
Yes. The TU8002-E is described as weather-resistant and designed for outdoor use, making it suitable for deployment in exposed locations such as building exteriors, pole mounts and perimeter installations where an indoor-only injector would not withstand environmental conditions. - What cabling does the TU8002-E require?
It requires Cat5e or higher Ethernet cabling, which is the standard for PoE installations. Standard Ethernet distance limits of 100 metres apply between the midspan and the connected device. Ensure cable runs are within this limit to maintain reliable power delivery and network performance. - Can the TU8002-E work with non-AXIS devices?
The TU8002-E is compatible with IEEE 802.3 PoE-capable devices. While it is part of the AXIS product range, it can in principle supply power to any device that draws power within the IEEE 802.3 PoE framework and up to 90W. Confirm the PoE class and power requirements of any non-AXIS device before use. - Where can I obtain the datasheet for the TU8002-E?
