Axis Communications 5027-041 T8604 4-port Media Converter Switch

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5027-041 is the T8604 4-port media converter switch, a compact network device designed to bridge fiber and copper Ethernet connections in surveillance and IP network installations. It provides four conversion ports along with two RJ45 copper interfaces, allowing technicians to extend or integrate network segments where mixed media types are required. This unit is sold individually and is suited for installation by network technicians and low-voltage professionals working on IP camera systems, access control infrastructure, or similar structured cabling projects.

The T8604 is intended for use in commercial and light-industrial network environments where fiber-to-copper conversion is needed at the edge of a network. It fits naturally into IP video surveillance deployments, building automation networks, and similar applications where Ethernet over copper must interface with fiber backbone runs. The two RJ45 ports provide direct copper connectivity for end devices or uplinks.

Key Features

• 4-port media converter switch supporting mixed fiber and copper Ethernet connections
• 2 integrated RJ45 copper ports for direct device or uplink connectivity
• Sold as an individual unit for single-point deployment or scalable multi-unit installs
• Compact form factor suited for edge network locations in surveillance and access control systems

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter switch for use in IP network and surveillance infrastructure requiring fiber-to-copper Ethernet conversion.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified low-voltage or network technician familiar with structured cabling and Ethernet media conversion. Power down or disconnect network segments before connecting or disconnecting fiber or copper cables. Follow local building codes and TIA/EIA structured cabling standards when routing and terminating cables. Do not exceed the rated operating environment for temperature or humidity when selecting a mounting location.
