Axis Communications 5505-351 Media Converter

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5505-351 is a media converter designed to bridge different network media types within a surveillance or IP network infrastructure. Media converters of this type extend network reach by converting signals between copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling, allowing installers to span distances that exceed the limits of standard twisted-pair runs. This unit is sold individually and is typically installed by network technicians or security system integrators working on IP camera deployments, access control infrastructure, or similar structured cabling projects.

This media converter is suited for professional network installations where fiber backbone connections must interface with copper-based edge devices. Typical applications include extending IP video surveillance networks across campus environments, industrial facilities, or multi-building installations where fiber runs replace long copper cable segments. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for permanent rack or enclosure mounting in a controlled network environment.

Key Features

• Converts between copper Ethernet and fiber optic media to extend network reach beyond standard cable distance limits
• Designed for integration into professional IP network and surveillance infrastructures
• Sold as a single unit for targeted deployment or replacement installations
• Manufactured by AXIS COMMUNICATIONS, a recognized name in IP network video and security solutions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style media converter for use within IP network and surveillance cabling infrastructures. No specific compatible model numbers or system families were identified in the available product data.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician or low-voltage systems integrator familiar with structured cabling and fiber optic handling practices. Power down or disconnect the relevant network segment before connecting or removing the converter. Fiber connections require clean, properly cleaved ends and appropriate fiber patch cables matched to the port type. Follow applicable local codes and manufacturer documentation for mounting, grounding, and environmental requirements.
