AXIS T8645 PoE+ Over Coax Compact Kit | Converts PoE to Coax | Supports Power & Data | Outdoor-Ready
The AXIS T8645 delivers a compact media conversion solution designed for installations where running new Ethernet cable is impractical or cost-prohibitive. Featuring PoE+ over coax transmission, it carries both power and network data over existing coaxial cabling to connected devices such as IP cameras. It is suitable for indoor and outdoor environments, making it a practical option for upgrading legacy analogue infrastructure to IP without recabling. This makes it well suited to retrofit installations in commercial, residential, and industrial settings.
Key Features
PoE+ Over Coax: Transmits both power and network data over existing coaxial cable infrastructure.
Legacy Infrastructure Compatible: Enables IP camera integration without the need to install new Ethernet cabling.
Compact Form Factor: Small and discreet design suits tight installation spaces.
Outdoor-Ready: Built to perform reliably in both indoor and outdoor environments.
Simplified Retrofit: Reduces installation time and cost when upgrading from analogue to IP systems.
Upgrading an existing analogue CCTV installation to IP cameras without replacing coaxial cable runs is exactly what the AXIS T8645 PoE+ Over Coax Compact Kit is designed to handle. This 2-adapter kit transmits both network data and Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) across installed coax cabling, removing the need to re-pull new Ethernet cable to each camera position. One adapter connects at the camera end while the second interfaces with the network side, creating a complete single-channel conversion path. The compact form factor of the camera-end adapter is sized to fit inside existing housings and back boxes, keeping installations tidy and minimising visible hardware. It supports a staged migration approach, allowing individual analogue cameras to be replaced with Axis network cameras one at a time while the existing coax infrastructure remains in service.
Key Capabilities
PoE+ Over Coax Transmission
Delivers Power over Ethernet Plus along with network data across existing coaxial cable runs, eliminating the need for separate power supplies or new Ethernet infrastructure at each camera location.
Coaxial Infrastructure Reuse
Allows sites with existing coax cable runs to retain that investment during migration to IP cameras, avoiding the time and cost of re-cabling camera positions that may be difficult or disruptive to access.
Compact Camera-End Adapter
The camera-end adapter is designed to fit neatly inside standard camera housings and conduit back boxes, supporting a clean finished installation without bulky external conversion hardware at the camera mount.
Single-Channel Staged Migration
As a single-channel kit, the T8645 lets you replace analogue cameras one position at a time, spreading upgrade costs across a project timeline without needing a full cutover or chassis-based multi-channel system.
Two-Adapter Complete Kit
Supplied as a ready-to-install pair, with a coax-to-camera adapter and a network-interface adapter included, so no additional conversion hardware is required to complete a single-channel coax-to-IP migration path.
Best For
Analogue-to-IP Migration: Sites with installed coax cabling that need to adopt Axis network cameras without the cost and disruption of running new Ethernet cable to each position.
Staged Single-Camera Upgrades: Installers or facility managers replacing analogue cameras gradually, one position at a time, using the PoE+ over coax conversion at each individual run.
Constrained Installation Spaces: Camera positions where housing or back box space is limited, benefiting from the compact adapter form factor that fits within existing enclosures.
Small to Medium Site Upgrades: Commercial offices, retail premises and small business sites transitioning legacy CCTV systems to IP without a full infrastructure overhaul.
Why Choose the AXIS T8645 PoE+ Over Coax Compact Kit
The AXIS T8645 addresses a practical constraint that many upgrade projects face: coaxial cable is already in the wall, in conduit, or routed through spaces that would be expensive and disruptive to re-cable. Rather than pulling new Ethernet to every camera position at once, this kit allows a camera-by-camera transition using the coax runs already in place, with PoE+ ensuring the connected Axis network camera receives both power and data from a single cable. The compact camera-end adapter is a specific advantage over larger media converter alternatives, as it fits within standard back boxes and housings rather than requiring additional surface-mounted enclosures. Available through Security Wholesalers, the T8645 is a cost-controlled migration tool suited to projects where phased rollout and minimal disruption are priorities over full simultaneous recabling.
Package Inclusions
1 x Coax-to-camera adapter (camera-end unit)
1 x Network-interface adapter (network-end unit)
Buyer Decision Tips
Single-Channel Scope: The T8645 is a single-channel kit, meaning one unit covers one camera position. If you are planning to convert multiple camera runs simultaneously, you will need a separate kit for each individual coax run. For large-scale site migrations with many positions, evaluate whether a per-run kit approach or a multi-channel coax converter chassis better suits your project budget and timeline.
Coax Cable Condition and Compatibility: Before specifying the T8645, confirm the existing coax cable type, condition and run length at each camera position. Damaged, corroded or excessively long coax runs may affect signal and power transmission. The kit is designed for use with Axis network cameras, so confirm your chosen camera model is compatible with PoE+ power input before purchasing.

Ideal Use Cases
Commercial Building Upgrades
Offices and commercial premises with installed coax cable to ceiling or wall-mounted camera positions can use the T8645 to transition individual camera runs to Axis IP cameras without disturbing ceilings, conduits or cable trays.
Retail CCTV Refresh
Retail sites replacing older analogue cameras with network cameras benefit from the single-channel approach, allowing individual camera positions to be upgraded during low-traffic periods without a full system shutdown.
Hard-to-Access Camera Runs
Where coax has been installed through walls, roofs or conduit that would be expensive or disruptive to re-cable, the T8645 allows the existing coax run to remain in service while delivering PoE+ and network connectivity to the new IP camera.
Phased Infrastructure Transition
Sites managing upgrade costs across a financial year or project stage can deploy the T8645 per camera position as budget allows, converting individual analogue runs to IP incrementally while the remaining analogue system continues operating.
Choosing the Right Model
Choose this model if: You have existing coaxial cable runs to camera positions and need to convert individual positions to Axis IP cameras using PoE+ power over the existing coax, particularly where the compact adapter size matters for fitting within current housings or back boxes.
Choose a different model if: You are migrating a large number of camera positions simultaneously and need a multi-channel coax converter chassis rather than individual per-run kits, or if your existing cabling is standard Ethernet rather than coaxial cable, in which case a PoE switch or injector would be the appropriate solution.
FAQs
What does the AXIS T8645 kit actually include? The T8645 Compact Kit includes 2 adapters: a coax-to-camera adapter that connects at the camera end, and a network-interface adapter that connects to the network side. Together they create a complete single-channel conversion path, transmitting both PoE+ power and network data across the existing coaxial cable run between them.
Does this kit replace the need for a separate power supply at the camera? Yes. Because the T8645 delivers PoE+ over the coax cable, the connected Axis network camera receives its power through the coax run from the network-end adapter. A separate power supply at the camera position is not required, which is one of the primary installation advantages of this conversion approach.
Can this kit be used with any IP camera brand? The T8645 is an Axis product designed and tested for use with Axis network cameras. Compatibility with third-party IP camera brands is not confirmed in the product specification. For reliable performance and supported operation, pairing the T8645 with an Axis network camera is the recommended approach.
How many camera positions can one T8645 kit cover? One kit covers a single camera position. Each coax run from camera to network requires its own T8645 kit. If you are converting multiple camera positions across a site, you will need a separate kit for each individual run. This single-channel structure is suited to staged migration rather than large simultaneous cutover deployments.
Will the compact camera-end adapter fit inside a standard camera back box? Yes. The camera-end adapter is specifically designed with a compact form factor intended to fit within standard camera housings and conduit back boxes. This avoids the need for additional surface-mounted conversion enclosures at the camera position and supports a tidy finished installation.
Where can I find full technical documentation for the T8645? The datasheet for the AXIS T8645 PoE+ Over Coax Compact Kit is available via the Additional Information section below. The T8645 is part of the Security Wholesalers range, and further technical support or compatibility queries can be directed to the team prior to purchase.
Cabling Considerations
Cable Type: Existing coaxial cable (RG59 or equivalent analogue CCTV coax) between the camera position and the head-end or distribution point.
Coax Condition: Inspect existing coax cable for damage, corrosion at connectors, and sharp bends before deploying the T8645. Degraded cable may affect both data transmission quality and PoE+ power delivery stability.
Network-End Connection: The network-interface adapter at the head end connects to your network switch. Ensure the switch port supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) output to supply adequate power through the conversion path to the connected camera.
Cable Run Length: Confirm the coax run length at each camera position is within the supported range specified in the AXIS T8645 datasheet before installation. Longer runs may affect transmission performance.
