Axis Communications 03398-001 90W Industrial Midspan

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 03398-001 is a 90-watt industrial midspan PoE injector designed to deliver Power over Ethernet to network-connected devices in demanding indoor environments. A midspan unit inserts between an existing Ethernet switch and a powered device, supplying DC power over the data cable without requiring a PoE-capable switch. At 90 watts, this unit supports high-draw devices such as PTZ cameras, access control panels, and similar IP endpoints. Installation is handled by low-voltage technicians, AV integrators, or network infrastructure professionals familiar with structured cabling and PoE standards.

This midspan is suited for indoor commercial and industrial deployments where powered devices require more wattage than standard 15.4W or 30W PoE budgets allow. Typical applications include security camera installations, intercoms, and network edge devices mounted in facilities such as warehouses, manufacturing floors, or commercial buildings. The indoor housing classification means this unit is intended for conditioned or semi-conditioned interior spaces rather than outdoor or wet locations.

Key Features

• 90-watt output supports high-power PoE devices beyond standard IEEE budget thresholds
• Midspan design works with existing non-PoE switches, extending PoE capability without switch replacement
• Industrial-grade indoor housing for reliable performance in commercial and light-industrial environments
• Single-unit (EA) packaging for individual deployment or sparing

Compatibility

Designed for use as an indoor midspan PoE injector compatible with IEEE 802.3bt high-power PoE devices in structured cabling environments. No specific compatible device models were provided in the product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage technician or network infrastructure professional in accordance with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements. Power down connected devices before disconnecting or reconnecting midspan connections. This unit is rated for indoor use only and must not be installed in wet, outdoor, or unprotected locations. Verify that the connected powered device does not exceed the 90-watt output capacity of the midspan before energizing.
