Axis Communications 02553-001 T6101 Mkii Audio I/o Interface

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 02553-001 is the T6101 MkII Audio I/O Interface, a network-connected audio input and output device designed for professional security and surveillance installations. This unit operates as a Power over Ethernet (PoE) device, drawing power directly from the network switch and eliminating the need for a separate power supply. It provides audio I/O connectivity for integration with IP-based access control, intercom, and video surveillance systems. Security integrators and low-voltage technicians install this interface when adding audio capability to existing IP network infrastructure.

The T6101 MkII Audio I/O Interface is suited for commercial and enterprise environments where centralized audio management is required alongside IP camera or access control systems. It functions as a standalone audio endpoint on the network, connecting microphones, speakers, or other audio sources and outputs to a managed IP system. Typical installations include entry points, lobbies, parking structures, and perimeter zones where two-way or monitored audio is part of the security design.

Key Features

• Power over Ethernet (PoE) operation eliminates the need for a local power supply
• Dedicated audio input and output connections for flexible field wiring
• Network-attached design supports integration with IP-based surveillance and access control platforms
• Compact form factor suitable for discreet installation in wall or ceiling enclosures
• Sold as an individual unit for single-zone or multi-zone deployments

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style network audio I/O interface for use within IP-based security and surveillance system architectures that support PoE-connected audio endpoints.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or security systems integrator. Before servicing or wiring, confirm the PoE switch port is disabled to avoid unintended power delivery. Follow local low-voltage and data cabling codes, and verify that the PoE source meets the power budget requirements for this device. Do not apply line-voltage power to PoE-only terminals.
