Product SKU: T8154
Product Overview
For installations where a high-powered Axis device sits at the end of a fiber run or a copper Ethernet segment without an existing PoE switch, the AXIS T8154 60W SFP Midspan solves the power delivery problem in a compact, single-unit form. It functions as a plug-and-play media converter and midspan power injector combined, accepting data input through either an SFP slot for fiber connections or an RJ45 port for standard copper Ethernet, then delivering up to 60W of High PoE to the connected device. The integrated power supply removes the need for a separate power brick, keeping cabling tidy and the installation straightforward. It is compatible with all Axis network products that support Power over Ethernet, making it a practical infrastructure addition when a full PoE switch is not in place or when bridging a fiber backbone to a single powered endpoint.
Key Capabilities
SFP Slot for Fiber Input
The SFP slot accepts standard small form-factor pluggable transceivers, allowing the T8154 to bridge a fiber backbone directly to a single PoE-powered Axis device. This is particularly useful on large sites where fiber runs replace long copper Ethernet segments.
RJ45 Copper Ethernet Input
When fiber is not required, the RJ45 input port provides a standard copper Ethernet connection path. This dual-input design means the same unit can serve fiber or copper infrastructure without needing separate product variants.
High PoE 60W Output
Delivering up to 60W of High PoE, the T8154 can power demanding Axis devices that exceed standard 15.4W or 30W PoE budgets. This output is suited to high-power PTZ cameras, multi-sensor units, or other Axis hardware with elevated power requirements.
Integrated Power Supply
The built-in power supply eliminates the need for a separate external adapter. This reduces the number of components at the installation point, simplifies cable management, and speeds up deployment at locations where additional hardware is impractical.
Plug-and-Play Operation
The T8154 requires no software configuration or network management. It operates as a transparent midspan injector, meaning installers can connect it inline without modifying switch settings or network topology, reducing commissioning time on site.
Best For
- Fiber-to-PoE Bridging: Sites with a fiber backbone that need to deliver High PoE to a single Axis endpoint benefit directly from the SFP input and 60W output combination.
- High-Power Single Device Installations: Where one Axis device draws more than standard PoE can supply, the T8154 provides up to 60W without requiring a full PoE switch replacement.
- Locations Without an Existing PoE Switch: The integrated midspan design means a PoE-capable switch is not required at the distribution point, useful in retrofit or remote-node installations.
- Clean, Minimal-Cabling Deployments: The integrated power supply removes the need for a separate power brick, keeping the installation compact at wall boxes, junction points, or ceiling spaces.
Why Choose the AXIS T8154
The AXIS T8154 addresses a specific gap in network camera deployments: delivering High PoE across a fiber segment to a single Axis device without a managed PoE switch. Where a standard PoE injector only accepts copper Ethernet, the T8154 adds an SFP slot for fiber input, giving installers genuine flexibility on sites where long cable runs have already been built on fiber infrastructure. The 60W High PoE output exceeds what most single-port injectors provide, covering high-demand Axis hardware that would otherwise require a separate power feed. The integrated power supply keeps the unit self-contained, and plug-and-play operation means no configuration is needed. Available through Security Wholesalers, the T8154 is a practical infrastructure component for Axis-based systems that need both fiber compatibility and elevated PoE power delivery at a single endpoint.
Buyer Tip: Confirm the PoE power draw of the Axis device you are connecting before purchasing. While 60W High PoE covers the majority of Axis hardware including PTZ cameras, verify the device’s power class in its datasheet. Also check which SFP transceiver type your fiber run requires (single-mode or multi-mode, and the appropriate wavelength) as the SFP module is a separate component and must match the fiber type installed at the site.
Buyer Tip: The T8154 is a single-port midspan. If you need to power multiple Axis devices from a single distribution point, a multi-port PoE switch or a multi-port midspan would be a more efficient solution. The T8154 is best suited to isolated endpoints or locations where only one high-power device needs to be served.

Ideal Use Cases
Fiber Backbone Sites
On campuses, industrial facilities, or multi-building sites where fiber cabling has been run as the primary network backbone, the T8154’s SFP slot allows a single Axis camera or device to be powered and connected at the fiber endpoint without a media converter and separate injector.
PTZ Camera Endpoints
High-power Axis PTZ cameras that require more than standard PoE can draw up to the T8154’s 60W High PoE budget, making this a suitable power delivery solution at locations where only a single PTZ unit is installed.
Retrofit Installations Without PoE Switches
Existing copper Ethernet infrastructure without PoE capability can be upgraded for a single Axis device using the T8154’s RJ45 input, avoiding the cost and complexity of replacing the entire network switch at that distribution point.
Remote or Isolated Camera Nodes
For single-camera positions at the edge of a network where running a powered switch is impractical, the T8154’s integrated power supply and plug-and-play design provide a self-contained solution that powers and connects one Axis device with minimal additional hardware.
Choosing the Right Model
- Choose this model if: You need to deliver High PoE (up to 60W) to a single Axis device at the end of a fiber run via SFP, or you need a plug-and-play midspan injector for a copper Ethernet segment where no PoE switch is present.
- Choose a different model if: You need to power multiple devices from a single point, as the T8154 is a single-port unit. A multi-port PoE switch or multi-port midspan would be more appropriate for powering several cameras or devices from one location.
- Choose a different model if: The Axis device you are connecting requires standard PoE (15.4W) or PoE+ (30W) only and a lower-wattage injector would be sufficient, or if your infrastructure does not include fiber and a simpler copper-only injector meets your needs.
FAQs
- What is the difference between a midspan and a PoE switch?
A midspan injector sits inline between an existing non-PoE switch and the powered device, adding PoE power to the Ethernet connection without replacing the switch. The AXIS T8154 operates as a midspan, meaning your existing network switch does not need to be PoE-capable. It passes data through and adds up to 60W of High PoE to the outgoing connection.
- Does the T8154 support fiber input, and do I need a separate SFP transceiver?
Yes, the T8154 includes an SFP slot that accepts standard SFP transceivers for fiber connections. The SFP transceiver itself is not included and must be purchased separately. You will need to select the correct transceiver type (single-mode or multi-mode) based on the fiber type and distance of your installation.
- Can the T8154 power any brand of IP camera or only Axis products?
The T8154 is confirmed compatible with all Axis network products that support Power over Ethernet. While it delivers standard High PoE, Axis specifies compatibility with their own product range. If you are powering non-Axis devices, verify PoE standard compatibility with the device manufacturer before deploying.
- How much power does the T8154 deliver, and which Axis devices require 60W?
The T8154 delivers up to 60W High PoE. Standard PoE delivers 15.4W and PoE+ delivers up to 30W. High PoE at 60W is typically required by Axis PTZ cameras, certain multi-sensor devices, and other hardware with pan, tilt, zoom motors or high-intensity illuminators. Check your specific Axis device’s datasheet for its power class requirement.
- Does the T8154 require any software configuration or network management?
No. The T8154 is a plug-and-play device that operates transparently inline. There is no web interface, no management software, and no configuration required. Once connected, it passes data and delivers PoE power automatically, which simplifies installation and reduces commissioning time.
- Where can I purchase the AXIS T8154 in Australia?
The AXIS T8154 60W SFP Midspan is part of the Security Wholesalers range and is available for trade and installer purchase. The Australian-spec (AUS) version is stocked to suit the local power supply standard, so no adapter is required for Australian installations.
