AXIS T8129 2 Port Plug & Play PoE Extender, 10/100 Mbps, IEEE 802.3af/t, Up to 200m
Built as a plug-and-play PoE extender for IP camera and network device installations, the AXIS T8129 stretches Ethernet and power delivery up to 100m per unit - chain multiple units to reach 200m or beyond without an additional power supply. It supports both IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards and auto-configures for link speed, duplex, and crossover on both ports. Note: rated for indoor use only.
Why This Model
- No extra power supply needed: The T8129 draws power directly from your existing PoE switch or midspan and forwards it inline, keeping cable runs clean and installation costs low.
- Chainable for longer runs: Adding 1 unit per 100m of additional cable means you can extend both Ethernet and PoE well beyond the standard 100m limit, which is critical on large sites with distant camera positions.
- Auto-configuring dual ports: Both shielded RJ45 ports self-negotiate speed, duplex, and crossover automatically, eliminating manual configuration and reducing installer time on site.

AXIS T8129 2 Port Plug & Play PoE Extender, 10/100 Mbps, IEEE 802.3af/t, Up to 200m
Model: AXIS T8129
Who This Is For
For installers who need to push a PoE camera run beyond the standard 100-metre Ethernet limit without running a new power circuit or adding a separate power supply at the camera end. The AXIS T8129 sits in-line between the PoE switch and the camera, extending both data and power by up to 100 metres per unit - and because 2 units can be chained, total cable runs of up to 200 metres become achievable from a single PoE source. This makes it a practical fit for long corridors, large warehouse floors, car parks, perimeter fences, and any site where the switch room is simply too far from the camera position. Plug-and-play setup means no configuration software, no additional power supply, and no changes to the rest of the network - just a shielded Cat5e or higher cable at each segment and the extender connected in between.
What This Product Actually Does
100m Per-Unit Extension
Each T8129 adds up to 100 metres of reach to an existing PoE run. Chain 2 units and a single PoE switch port can support a camera position up to 200 metres away - no secondary power source required at any point along the run.
IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at Forwarding
Automatically forwards inline PoE and High PoE to the connected device. Compatible with standard PoE (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) cameras without requiring manual configuration or separate injectors mid-run.
Full-Rate 10/100 Mbps Throughput
Maintains full 10/100 Mbps half/full duplex throughput across the extended run. Link speed, duplex, and crossover are automatically negotiated on both ports - no drop in network performance as a result of the extension.
Plug-and-Play, Zero Configuration
No software, no management interface, no IP address. Cable in, cable out - the T8129 negotiates everything automatically. LED indicators on the RJ45 connectors confirm PoE status (green) and link activity (yellow) at a glance during commissioning.
Compact Wall or Shelf Mount
At 105 x 40 x 22 mm and 45 grams, the T8129 fits neatly in an equipment cabinet, on a shelf, or wall-mounted at an intermediate cable point. Small form factor keeps intermediate comms rooms and enclosures uncluttered.
Who Buys This Model
- CCTV installers on large commercial sites: Warehouses, factories, and logistics facilities where camera positions are well beyond 100 metres from the nearest switch room - the T8129 avoids the cost of running a new power circuit to a mid-point location.
- Car park and perimeter system integrators: Long cable runs across open ground or along perimeter fencing often exceed standard Ethernet limits - chaining 2 units provides up to 200 metres of reach from a single PoE port.
- Facilities managers upgrading existing infrastructure: Where conduit is already in place but runs are too long for direct PoE, the T8129 slots in-line without changes to the switch, the camera, or any network configuration.
- Axis camera installers working in Axis ecosystems: Designed by Axis to extend PoE to Axis network video products specifically, with automatic power forwarding suited to the power requirements of Axis PoE and PoE+ cameras.
Honest Assessment
The AXIS T8129 solves a specific and common installation problem cleanly: it extends PoE runs past the 100-metre Ethernet limit without introducing a power supply, a switch port, or a managed device at the mid-point. Plug-and-play operation, automatic power forwarding for both 802.3af and 802.3at devices, and full 10/100 Mbps throughput make it genuinely straightforward to commission. The compact housing suits cabinet or shelf installation at an intermediate point in the run. What it will not do is handle outdoor or harsh-environment installation - the rated operating environment is indoor, so it needs to be located in a protected enclosure or internal space. It is also a 10/100 Mbps device, which suits the vast majority of single-camera PoE runs but is not appropriate where Gigabit throughput to the endpoint is required. For sites needing outdoor mid-span extension, a weatherproof PoE extender would be the more suitable product type. The T8129 is supplied by Security Australia as part of the broader Axis accessories range.
Before You Buy
Installer Note: The T8129 requires shielded Cat5e or higher cabling (STP/FTP) for the full extension run - unshielded UTP may not meet the performance requirements across extended distances. The maximum achievable distance also depends on the specific camera model connected and the output power of the upstream PoE switch, so verify the camera's power draw against the switch port capacity before chaining 2 units for a 200-metre run.
Environment Note: The T8129 is rated for indoor installation only, with an operating range of -10°C to 50°C. If the mid-point location is an outdoor enclosure, a cabinet exposed to sun loading, or an unventilated roof space that regularly exceeds 50°C, a different housing arrangement or product type is required.
Quick Fit Check
- Good match if: Your camera position is between 100 and 200 metres from the PoE switch and the intermediate mounting point is indoors or in a protected enclosure - the T8129's plug-and-play 802.3af/at forwarding handles the extension with no additional power supply.
- Good match if: You are working in an existing Axis PoE camera deployment where conduit is already run but the cable length exceeds the 100-metre Ethernet limit - the T8129 slots in-line with no changes to the switch configuration or the camera setup.
- You may need a different model if: The mid-point location is outdoors or unprotected from weather - a weatherproof PoE extender with an appropriate IP rating would be the more suitable product type for those conditions.

Real-World Scenarios
How It Compares
- Choose this if: You need to extend a PoE camera run past 100 metres from an indoor mid-point, without adding a switch port, injector, or separate power supply at the extension point - plug-and-play 802.3af/at forwarding handles it automatically.
- You may need a different model if: The mid-point installation location is outdoors or exposed to weather - a weatherproof PoE extender with an IP-rated enclosure would be the more appropriate product type for those conditions.
- Pairs well with: A managed PoE+ switch at the head end with sufficient per-port power budget, and shielded Cat5e or Cat6 cabling throughout the extended run.
Common Questions
-
Does the T8129 work with any PoE camera, or only Axis cameras?
It works with any PoE (802.3af) or PoE+ (802.3at) device, though it is designed and tested specifically with Axis network video products. The extender automatically detects and forwards the correct power class to the connected device, so non-Axis PoE cameras will typically function correctly - but Axis cameras in an Axis ecosystem are the confirmed and primary use case. -
Will this camera extender work for a 200-metre cable run?
Yes, up to 200 metres is achievable by chaining 2 T8129 units. Place the first unit at the 100-metre mark and the second at up to 200 metres. The actual maximum distance depends on the specific camera's power draw and the output capacity of the upstream PoE switch, so high-power cameras may achieve less than the theoretical maximum. -
Does the T8129 reduce network throughput or introduce latency?
No. The T8129 maintains full 10/100 Mbps half/full duplex throughput across the extended run. Link speed, duplex mode, and cable crossover are automatically negotiated on both ports - there is no bandwidth reduction introduced by the extender itself. -
Does this unit require its own power supply?
No. The T8129 draws the power it needs from the upstream PoE source and passes the remainder to the connected camera. There is no external power adapter, no local mains connection, and no additional power supply required at the mid-point - a single PoE switch port powers the entire run including the extender. -
What cable type is required for the T8129?
Shielded Cat5 or higher (STP or FTP) is required. Unshielded UTP cabling is not recommended - the shielded connectors (shielded RJ45, EIA 568A/B) and the extended distances involved mean that cable quality directly affects whether the full 100-metre extension per unit is achievable. Using Cat5e or Cat6 STP is the practical standard for these runs. -
Can the T8129 be installed in an outdoor enclosure or roof space?
Not without careful attention to temperature. The T8129 is rated for indoor installation with an operating range of -10°C to 50°C. An outdoor enclosure exposed to direct sun loading, or an unventilated roof space in an Australian summer, can exceed 50°C internally - if the mounting location cannot be maintained within that range, a different product type is required. The unit available through Security Australia is the standard indoor-rated version only. -
Does the T8129 need to be configured through software or a management interface?
No. There is no IP address, no web interface, no management software, and no configuration steps required. Connect the incoming cable from the switch to one port and the outgoing cable to the camera on the second port - the T8129 handles link negotiation and power forwarding automatically. The LED indicators on the RJ45 connectors confirm PoE status and link activity during commissioning.
