Product SKU: 02208-001
Product Overview
For integrators working on sites where 230V AC mains simply cannot be reached at the camera mounting point, the AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC provides a purpose-built inline solution. Accepting either 24V AC or a DC input between 10V and 28V, the 02208-001 converts available low-voltage power into IEEE 802.3at PoE output of up to 30W for a connected Axis network device. Featuring plug-and-play operation with no configuration required, it suits both retrofit projects that already have 24V AC cabling installed and off-grid deployments drawing from solar charge controllers, battery banks, or DC equipment rails. It supports both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, covering the complete range of PoE and PoE+ power classes across compatible Axis cameras, intercoms, and network audio devices. A 3-year warranty is included.
Key Capabilities
Up to 30W PoE+ Output
Compliant with IEEE 802.3at, this midspan delivers up to 30W of Power over Ethernet to a connected Axis device. That output ceiling extends well beyond the 15.4W limit of basic IEEE 802.3af, accommodating cameras and network devices in the PoE+ power class without requiring a separate higher-output injector.
Dual AC and DC Input
A 24V AC input and a 10-28V DC input are both supported, removing the requirement for a mains outlet at the installation point. This dual-path design opens the midspan to a far wider range of site conditions than a standard mains-powered PoE injector can accommodate.
Retrofit AC Path
Where 24V AC wiring already runs to a location, the midspan connects directly in-line, adding PoE capability without pulling new mains cabling to the mounting point. This reduces both project cost and disruption on established sites where altering existing infrastructure is impractical.
Solar and Battery DC Compatibility
The wide 10-28V DC input range covers solar charge controller outputs, battery bank terminals, and equipment cabinet DC rails. This makes the 02208-001 a practical fit for off-grid surveillance points and remote perimeter locations where extending mains power is not economically viable.
Plug-and-Play Installation
No software, configuration, or management interface is involved. Connecting a compatible power source and a supported Axis PoE device is all that is required. On remote or difficult-access sites where minimising on-site time directly reduces project cost, this simplicity has a tangible practical benefit.
Best For
- Retrofit Camera Installations: Sites with 24V AC cabling already in place can connect this midspan in-line to power a new Axis PoE camera without running new mains wiring to the mounting point.
- Solar and Battery-Backed Remote Sites: The 10-28V DC input allows a solar or battery system to supply the midspan, keeping a connected Axis network device powered at locations where grid power cannot be reached.
- Industrial Enclosures and Utility Cabinets: Equipment cabinets and ATM housings with internal DC power rails can use this midspan to supply a local PoE Axis device without any external mains connection at the enclosure.
- Remote Perimeter and Access Road Surveillance: Fence lines, gated driveways, and yard perimeter points where mains cabling is not feasible can be served wherever a compatible low-voltage AC or DC source is already present nearby.
Why Choose the AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC
A standard mains-powered PoE injector provides no practical help when the mounting point lacks a mains outlet. The AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC resolves that constraint directly by accepting 24V AC or 10-28V DC, covering the two most common non-mains scenarios in a single compact accessory. Its IEEE 802.3at output of up to 30W handles the full range of PoE and PoE+ Axis devices, so one midspan model suits cameras, intercoms, and network audio equipment without requiring a separate injector matched to each power class. The plug-and-play design eliminates configuration risk on remote installations where a return site visit carries real cost. Backed by a 3-year Axis warranty and available through Security Wholesalers, the 02208-001 is the purpose-built accessory for professional Axis deployments where conventional mains power cannot be reached.
Buyer Decision Tips
Confirm the Input Power Source Before Ordering: Identify exactly what power is available at the installation point before purchasing. If 24V AC is already cabled to the location, this midspan connects directly into that run. If a battery bank or solar system is supplying power, verify the output voltage falls within the 10-28V DC input range. If 230V AC mains is accessible at the mounting point, a conventional mains-powered PoE injector or PoE switch will be a simpler fit for that location.
Check the Connected Device’s Maximum PoE Draw: The midspan outputs up to 30W, which covers most Axis cameras and network devices across both PoE and PoE+ power classes. Before finalising the installation, check the maximum PoE power consumption in the datasheet for the specific Axis device being connected. Devices with integrated heaters, multi-channel internal hardware, or high-draw PTZ motors may approach this ceiling and would require a higher-output power source.

Ideal Use Cases
Retrofit Surveillance Upgrades
Where 24V AC low-voltage wiring already reaches a camera mounting point, this midspan connects in-line to power a new Axis PoE device directly, avoiding the cost and disruption of replacing existing site power infrastructure with new mains cabling.
Solar-Powered Remote Cameras
Off-grid surveillance points served by solar panels and battery storage can supply the 02208-001 via the 10-28V DC input, converting locally available DC power into PoE output for a connected Axis camera or network device at the site.
Battery Backup Deployments
Where mains continuity cannot be guaranteed, a battery source within the 10-28V DC input range can supply the midspan during an outage, keeping a critical Axis PoE device powered without interruption to the surveillance feed.
Equipment Cabinets and Industrial Enclosures
Utility cabinets, ATM housings, and industrial enclosures with internal DC power rails can use this midspan to provide PoE to a locally mounted Axis network device without requiring any external mains supply at the cabinet location.
Perimeter Fence and Access Road Cameras
Remote perimeter monitoring points, gated access roads, and boundary fence lines where extending mains cabling is not economically viable can be served by this midspan wherever a compatible low-voltage AC or DC source is already present at or near the location.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: The installation point has 24V AC or a DC voltage between 10V and 28V available, and the connected Axis PoE device draws no more than 30W. This is the correct accessory for retrofit, solar, battery-backed, or cabinet-based Axis deployments where mains power cannot be reached at the mounting location.
- Choose a different model if: Standard 230V AC mains power is accessible at the mounting point, in which case a conventional mains-powered PoE injector or managed PoE switch is a more direct and straightforward solution. If the specific Axis device being connected requires more than 30W of PoE power, a higher-output power source will be needed for that installation.
FAQs
- What does the AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC actually do?
It converts a 24V AC or 10-28V DC power source into Power over Ethernet output, delivering both power and data to a compatible Axis PoE network device over a single Ethernet cable. This allows Axis cameras and supported PoE devices to be installed at locations where a standard mains-powered PoE switch or injector cannot be practically deployed.
- What input voltages does the 02208-001 support?
The midspan accepts 24V AC or a DC input anywhere in the 10V to 28V range. The 24V AC path is suited to retrofit scenarios where low-voltage AC cabling is already in place at the location. The DC range covers solar charge controller outputs, battery bank terminals, and DC equipment rails that output within that window.
- How much power can this midspan deliver to the connected Axis device?
It delivers up to 30W of PoE output, compliant with IEEE 802.3at (PoE+). It also supports IEEE 802.3af for devices drawing less than 15.4W. Before connecting, check the maximum PoE power consumption figure in the specific Axis device’s datasheet to confirm it does not exceed the 30W output limit of the midspan.
- Is the AXIS 30 W Midspan AC/DC suitable for outdoor cabinet and remote site use?
The 10-28V DC input is particularly well matched to remote equipment cabinets, off-grid surveillance enclosures, and outdoor installations where a solar panel array or battery source provides DC power locally. The midspan converts that available DC supply into PoE output for the connected Axis device without requiring any mains connection at the site.
- Does the 02208-001 require software setup or network configuration?
No. The midspan is entirely plug-and-play. Once a compatible input power source and a supported Axis PoE device are connected, it supplies power immediately with no configuration steps, management interface, or software interaction involved. This is particularly valuable on remote or difficult-access installations where reducing time on site directly reduces project cost. The 02208-001 is part of the Security Wholesalers Axis accessories range.
- Which Axis devices can be powered by this midspan?
Any compatible Axis PoE network device with a maximum power draw of 30W or less can be connected, covering a broad range of Axis cameras, intercoms, and network audio products across both the PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) power classes. Always confirm the maximum PoE consumption in the target device’s datasheet before connecting to verify it falls within the 30W output ceiling of the midspan.
