AXIS TU8003 90W PoE Midspan | 02027-006

Product SKU: TU8003

Product Overview

The AXIS TU8003 90W PoE Midspan is a high-power connectivity device designed to deliver both power and data to network devices over a single Ethernet cable. Built for demanding surveillance installations, the midspan supports high-power PoE devices such as PTZ cameras that require up to 90W of power. It enables easy deployment of advanced Axis devices without replacing existing network switches, providing a simple way to inject power into the network connection while maintaining Gigabit data transmission.

Why Choose the AXIS TU8003

The TU8003 is designed to extend connectivity and functionality for high-power Axis cameras and network devices. Using Axis portcast technology, the midspan can provide integrated audio and I/O connectivity directly through the network connection, making these features appear as if they are built into the camera. This allows audio, video and control signals to travel in a single network stream without requiring additional VMS licenses or complex wiring. The inclusion of an SFP port also enables flexible deployment across both copper and fibre network environments.

FAQs

1. What is a PoE midspan used for?
   A PoE midspan injects electrical power into an Ethernet cable so that network devices such as IP cameras can receive both power and data through the same cable. This simplifies installation and removes the need for separate power supplies.
2. Which devices require a 90W PoE midspan?
   High-power devices such as advanced PTZ cameras, thermal cameras or multi-sensor surveillance devices may require up to 90W of power. The TU8003 provides the power capacity needed for these devices while maintaining network connectivity.
3. What is Axis Portcast technology?
   Portcast technology allows additional interfaces such as audio inputs and digital I/O connections to be transmitted through the same network connection as the camera. This makes these functions appear as integrated camera features within the video management system.
