Axis Communications 5025-281 Poe Extender

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5025-281 is a PoE extender designed to extend Power over Ethernet connections beyond the standard 100-meter cable distance limitation. It accepts an incoming PoE signal and passes both data and power to a downstream device, allowing installers to reach cameras, access control panels, or other PoE-powered endpoints in locations where cable runs would otherwise exceed standard limits. This unit is sold individually and is appropriate for installation by network technicians, low-voltage integrators, and security system professionals working on structured cabling projects.

The 5025-281 is suited for commercial and residential surveillance, access control, and IP networking installations where extending a PoE drop is more practical than running new home-run cabling or installing an additional switch. It is commonly deployed in hallways, stairwells, parking structures, and remote building areas where network closets are not accessible. The device fits inline on a standard Cat5e or Cat6 run and passes PoE budget to the connected endpoint.

Key Features

• Extends PoE and data signal beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet distance limit
• Inline form factor requires no separate power source at the extension point
• Designed for use in IP camera, access control, and network device installations
• Sold as a single unit for flexible deployment quantities

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style inline PoE extender compatible with standard 802.3af and 802.3at PoE network infrastructure and PoE-powered endpoints on Cat5e or Cat6 cabling.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network technician familiar with structured cabling standards. Disconnect or power down the upstream PoE switch port before making inline connections. Follow TIA-568 cabling standards for termination and ensure total extended cable run does not exceed the supported distance for the specific PoE extender configuration. Verify available PoE budget on the upstream switch before deployment.
