Axis Communications 5505-391 Media Converter

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5505-391 is a media converter designed for use in network surveillance and IP video infrastructure. Media converters of this type extend network connectivity by bridging copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling, allowing installers to overcome distance limitations inherent to standard twisted-pair runs. This unit is sold individually and is appropriate for installation by network technicians and system integrators working on IP-based security or communications infrastructure. Note that this part has been marked as discontinued by the manufacturer.

The 5505-391 is suited for deployment in structured cabling environments where fiber backbone runs connect to copper-terminated edge devices. Typical applications include IP camera installations, access control head-end equipment rooms, and enterprise or industrial network closets where extended transmission distances are required. It is sold as a single unit and is intended for professional installation in permanent or semi-permanent network infrastructure.

Key Features

• Bridges copper Ethernet and fiber optic cabling to extend network reach

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or spare for media converter applications within IP-based network and surveillance infrastructure systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician or low-voltage systems integrator. Power down connected network equipment before replacing or inserting media converter modules to avoid interface faults. Follow applicable local low-voltage and structured cabling codes during installation. Verify fiber connector type and Ethernet interface compatibility with existing infrastructure before commissioning.
