Axis Communications 5026-204 1-port Poe Midspan Injector

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5026-204 is a single-port Power over Ethernet midspan injector designed to add PoE capability to an existing network switch that does not supply power on its own. The injector sits inline between a non-PoE switch and a powered device, delivering both data and DC power over a single Ethernet cable. It is a fit for network installers and low-voltage technicians deploying IP cameras, access control readers, or other PoE-compatible endpoint devices where upgrading the switch is not practical.

The 5026-204 is suited for single-device deployments in both commercial and light industrial environments. Typical installations include adding a single IP security camera, intercom, or wireless access point to an existing network segment without replacing the upstream switch. Because it handles one port at a time, it is also used for staged rollouts where individual drops are activated as needed rather than all at once.

Key Features

• Single-port midspan design adds PoE to any standard Ethernet run
• Delivers both data and power over a single Cat cable, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the endpoint
• Compact inline form factor suits tight installation spaces
• Sold as a single unit, making it practical for small additions or spares inventory

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style midspan injector for use with PoE-compatible network devices on standard Ethernet infrastructure.

Installation Notes

Low-voltage network technicians typically install midspan PoE injectors as part of structured cabling work governed by NEC Article 725 for low-voltage systems. Power down or unplug the injector before connecting or disconnecting downstream devices. Verify that the connected endpoint device is PoE-compatible and does not exceed the injector power budget before applying power. Do not install in wet or unventilated locations unless the enclosure is rated for that environment.
