Axis Communications 5500-001 Poe Splitter 60W 12/24V Dc

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5500-001 is a 60-watt Power over Ethernet splitter that accepts PoE input and converts it to 12 or 24 volts DC output for devices that do not have built-in PoE capability. It bridges a standard PoE network switch or injector to cameras, access controllers, or similar low-voltage field devices that require a dedicated DC power feed. At 60W, it handles higher-power loads than standard PoE (15.4W) or PoE+ (30W) splitters, making it suitable for pan-tilt-zoom cameras, door controllers, or other peripherals with elevated power demands. Installation is handled by security and low-voltage technicians working in access control or video surveillance infrastructure.

The 5500-001 is used in commercial and institutional security installations where network-connected devices require 12V DC or 24V DC power but must draw that power through an existing Ethernet cabling infrastructure. It fits into single-unit installation scenarios and is sold individually. Typical deployment places the splitter at the field device end of a PoE cable run, eliminating the need for a separate local power supply at each device location.

Key Features

• 60W output capacity supports higher-power PoE-fed devices
• Dual-voltage output: 12V DC or 24V DC selectable for broad device compatibility
• Accepts PoE input from standard PoE network switches or midspan injectors
• Single-unit packaging for flexible, device-by-device deployment
• Compact form factor suitable for mounting at the device end of a cable run

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style PoE splitter for use with network-connected security and low-voltage devices requiring 12V DC or 24V DC power input in PoE-enabled infrastructure installations.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed low-voltage or security systems technicians. Power down or de-energize the PoE source port before connecting or disconnecting the splitter. Verify that the output voltage selector matches the voltage requirement of the connected device before applying power. Work should comply with applicable NEC low-voltage wiring requirements for the installation jurisdiction.
