Axis 30W Single-Port PoE Midspan

The Axis 02172-004 is a single-port Power over Ethernet midspan that adds up to 30 watts of power to the same cable that already carries your network data. By following both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards, it can drive PoE or PoE Plus devices such as IP cameras, network speakers, or access control readers without the need for extra power outlets near the endpoint.

Installation is straightforward. Place the midspan between your non-PoE switch and the device, connect the input and output Ethernet cables, and the unit immediately starts feeding power while passing data at up to 1000 Mb/s. This makes it a convenient drop-in upgrade when you want to add PoE capability to an existing network or expand coverage in a facility where pulling new electrical lines would be costly or disruptive.

For technicians working in server rooms, retail ceilings, or security closets, the design details matter. Shielded RJ45 connectors protect the signal path, LED indicators confirm power and link status at a glance, and the housing supports both wall and DIN rail mounting so you can position the midspan exactly where space allows. The operating range of -4 to 131 °F helps ensure dependable service in environments that experience seasonal temperature swings.

With its compact footprint and weight of roughly 0.3 lb, the midspan fits neatly beside patch panels or within small enclosures. Whether you are powering a single high-resolution camera at a remote entrance or adding a network audio device to improve on-site communication, the Axis 02172-004 offers a simple, standards-based way to deliver power and data over one cable.
