Product Overview
Extending the reach of AXIS F Modular Camera Series sensors is straightforward with the AXIS TU6004-E Extension Cable. This 8-metre black cable carries an SMA connector on one end and a FAKRA connector on the other, allowing installers to position AXIS F sensor units at a greater distance from their paired main unit without compromising signal quality. Rated IP66, IP67, and IP6K9K, the cable is built to withstand demanding indoor and outdoor conditions, including high-pressure washdowns and prolonged moisture exposure. It operates across a wide temperature range of -40°C to 75°C, making it suitable for cool rooms, plant rooms, and exposed outdoor cable runs. Multiple cables can be chained to reach a maximum interconnected length of 30 metres. The FAKRA end can also be shortened and re-crimped using the separately available AXIS TU6003 Connector Kit, giving installers precise length control on site.
Key Capabilities
8-Metre Sensor Extension
The 8m cable length allows AXIS F sensor units to be mounted well away from the main unit, enabling covert placement inside walls, ceilings, or confined spaces where the main unit cannot be co-located. Up to 30m of total cable can be chained together across multiple interconnected cables.
IP66, IP67 and IP6K9K Weatherproofing
Triple-rated ingress protection means this cable handles dust, sustained water immersion, and high-pressure directional water jets. This makes it a reliable choice for outdoor cable runs, food-service environments, wash-down areas, and exposed industrial installations.
Wide Operating Temperature Range
Rated from -40°C to 75°C, this cable maintains performance in environments from cold-storage facilities to hot plant rooms and sun-exposed outdoor cable trays, without risk of connector failure or signal degradation due to temperature extremes.
Field-Trimmable FAKRA End
The FAKRA connector end can be shortened and re-crimped on site using the separately sold AXIS TU6003 Connector Kit. This allows installers to trim the cable to an exact length needed for a particular installation rather than leaving excess cable coiled inside a housing.
Best For
- Sensor Placement Flexibility: Installers who need to mount AXIS F pinhole, dome, or flush-mount sensors at a distance from the main unit, such as through walls, behind fascias, or into confined spaces, benefit directly from the 8m extension length.
- Outdoor and Harsh Environment Cable Runs: The IP66, IP67, and IP6K9K ratings make this cable appropriate for exposed outdoor conduit runs, industrial wash-down zones, and cool-room installations where moisture and temperature extremes are ongoing concerns.
- Multi-Cable Chain Installations: Sites requiring a sensor run beyond 8m can interconnect multiple TU6004-E cables up to the confirmed 30m maximum, providing greater flexibility across larger installations without additional signal conversion hardware.
Why Choose the AXIS TU6004-E Extension Cable
The AXIS TU6004-E is not a generic coaxial cable – it is an engineered accessory designed to maintain signal integrity across the AXIS F Modular Camera Series architecture. Its SMA-to-FAKRA configuration matches the specific connector types used on AXIS F91 main units and AXIS F21, F4105-LRE, and F7225-RE sensor units, ensuring a secure and correctly impedance-matched 50-Ohm connection across a 0-3 GHz frequency range. A lower-cost third-party cable with the wrong impedance or incompatible connectors can introduce signal loss or void system compatibility. The IP6K9K rating adds protection against high-pressure water jets that standard IP66 and IP67 ratings do not cover on their own. The UL CL2 Sunlight Resistant approval (E335585-T) confirms the outer jacket is rated for direct UV exposure. Available through Security Wholesalers, the AXIS TU6004-E is the manufacturer-specified solution for extending AXIS F sensor runs with confidence.
Buyer Decision Tips
Buyer Tip: Before purchasing, confirm the total cable distance required between the main unit and sensor. The TU6004-E provides 8m per cable, and multiple cables can be chained up to a maximum of 30m. If your sensor run falls between standard cable lengths, the FAKRA end of this cable can be shortened and re-crimped using the separately sold AXIS TU6003 Connector Kit, allowing you to avoid excess cable without buying a custom assembly. Plan your cable route carefully before cutting, as re-crimping cannot restore length once removed.

Ideal Use Cases
Covert In-Wall and In-Ceiling Sensor Runs
The AXIS F Modular architecture is frequently used for discreet sensor placement inside walls or ceilings. The 8m extension allows the main unit to be installed in a concealed cabinet or void while the pinhole or flush-mount sensor reaches the target monitoring position.
Food Service and Wash-Down Environments
The IP6K9K rating covers high-pressure directional water exposure, which is a standard requirement in commercial kitchens, food processing lines, and other facilities where regular high-pressure cleaning is performed around camera infrastructure.
Cold Storage and Temperature-Extreme Sites
Rated to operate at -40°C, this cable maintains connector and jacket integrity in cold rooms, freezer warehouses, and outdoor cable trays in cold climates, where standard accessory cables may crack or fail.
Extended Multi-Cable Sensor Runs
Where 8m is insufficient, installers can interconnect multiple TU6004-E cables up to the confirmed 30m maximum. This covers installations where sensor heads must reach across larger spaces, through conduit runs, or along building facades without additional signal processing hardware.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You are installing AXIS F91 main units or AXIS F21, F4105-LRE, or F7225-RE sensor units and need to extend the connection run up to 8m per cable, particularly in outdoor, wash-down, or extreme-temperature environments where the IP66, IP67, and IP6K9K ratings are required.
- Choose a different model if: Your required cable run is shorter and a more compact AXIS F extension cable length is available and better suited to your installation, or if you need to terminate the cable at a custom length without access to the AXIS TU6003 Connector Kit for re-crimping the FAKRA end. In either case, consult the full AXIS TU6004 cable accessory range to match cable length to your site requirements.
FAQs
- Which AXIS F products is the TU6004-E compatible with?
The AXIS TU6004-E is confirmed compatible with AXIS F91 main units, AXIS F21 sensor units, the AXIS F4105-LRE Dome Sensor, and the AXIS F7225-RE Pinhole Sensor. These products use the FAKRA and SMA connector types that this cable is designed around. Confirm compatibility with your specific main unit and sensor combination before purchasing.
- Can I chain multiple TU6004-E cables together to get a longer run?
Yes. Multiple AXIS TU6004-E cables can be interconnected, up to a confirmed maximum total interconnected cable length of 30m (98 ft). An 8m cable provides a single run, while chaining cables allows you to reach further positions along a wall, ceiling void, or conduit route without additional amplification hardware.
- Can this cable be shortened in the field?
The FAKRA connector end of this cable can be shortened and re-crimped on site. This requires the separately available AXIS TU6003 Conn Kit FAKRA. Only the FAKRA end is field-serviceable in this way. The SMA end is not intended for field re-termination. Plan the required length before cutting, as the process is not reversible.
- Is the AXIS TU6004-E suitable for outdoor and exposed installations?
Yes. The cable carries IP66, IP67, and IP6K9K ingress protection ratings, covering dust exclusion, water immersion, and high-pressure directed water jets respectively. It is also approved under UL CL2 Sunlight Resistant certification, confirming the outer jacket is rated for direct UV exposure. These ratings make it suitable for outdoor conduit runs, wall-exposed cable trays, and wash-down environments. Available through Security Wholesalers, this cable is the manufacturer-specified outdoor-rated extension for AXIS F modular systems.
- What is the operating temperature range of this cable?
The AXIS TU6004-E operates from -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F). This covers cold-storage facilities, freezer warehouses, and outdoor installations in cold climates at the lower end, and hot plant rooms, roof-mounted conduit runs, or sun-exposed cable trays at the upper end. The 10-100% RH condensing humidity range further confirms suitability for high-moisture environments.
