Axis Communications 5801-694 Poe+ Managed Switch T8516

Product Description

The AXIS COMMUNICATIONS 5801-694 is a 16-channel Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) managed network switch, model T8516, designed for professional IP surveillance and network infrastructure installations. This switch delivers both data and power over a single Ethernet cable to connected devices such as IP cameras, access controllers, and other PoE-compatible endpoints. With managed switch functionality, network administrators and security integrators can configure VLANs, monitor port traffic, and control power delivery across all 16 ports. It ships as a single unit and is suited for structured cabling environments where centralized power and network management are required.

The T8516 is intended for professional network and security installations in commercial and light industrial environments. It is a natural fit for IP camera systems, access control infrastructure, and other PoE-dependent deployments where a managed switch with multiple ports is needed in a single chassis. Security integrators, low-voltage contractors, and network technicians are the primary installers of this equipment.

Key Features

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified network technician or low-voltage contractor familiar with structured cabling standards and PoE power budgeting. Power down any connected PoE devices and disconnect existing network links before replacing or installing this switch. Verify total PoE power draw across all connected devices does not exceed the switch power budget prior to full deployment. Reference applicable local low-voltage and network installation codes during rack mounting and cable management.
