AXIS T8134 PoE Midspan, 802.3at/af, 60W, 55 V DC

Model: AXIS T8134

Who This Is For

For installers and network engineers who need to power a high-demand PoE device without replacing an existing switch, the AXIS T8134 60 W Midspan slots directly into a live network run between the switch and the end device. It is specifically suited to scenarios where PTZ cameras, multi-sensor units, or Axis Q60-E series cameras in extreme cold environments require more power than a standard IEEE 802.3at port can deliver - up to 60 W over a single shielded Cat5e or higher cable. Facilities managers running Axis network cameras at outdoor sites operating below -20 degrees C will find this midspan a practical solution for maintaining camera function without rewiring to a higher-specification switch. It suits single-device deployments where a full PoE switch upgrade is unnecessary, and its wall, shelf, or DIN rail mounting options make it adaptable to comms rack and cabinet installs alike.

What This Actually Does

Who Buys This Model

• CCTV Installers Upgrading Single Camera Positions: When a site already has a managed switch but one camera position requires more than 30 W - such as a PTZ or heated housing - the T8134 resolves the power gap without replacing the switch or running new conduit.
• Cold Climate Site Operators: Facilities running Axis Q60-E series cameras in environments below -20 degrees C rely on this midspan to sustain camera operation when standard PoE budgets are insufficient to power the device through start-up in extreme temperatures.
• IT Managers Extending Existing Network Infrastructure: Network administrators adding a high-power device to a network segment where the switch does not have a High PoE port available use this midspan as a targeted solution rather than purchasing an entirely new switch.
• DIN Rail Cabinet Integrators: Panel builders and system integrators who mount equipment in electrical or comms cabinets use the T8134 with the optional DIN clip for a clean, rail-mounted power injection point within the enclosure.

Honest Assessment

The AXIS T8134 does one job well: it delivers 60 W of High PoE to a single device inline, without requiring a switch upgrade. For a site with an isolated high-power camera requirement - particularly an Axis PTZ or a camera operating in sub-zero conditions - it is a cost-effective and compact solution. The automatic PoE detection, front LED status indicator, and DIN rail compatibility make it straightforward to install and monitor in a comms cabinet. RCM and CE approvals confirm it meets Australian regulatory requirements. Where it will not suit is any deployment requiring simultaneous power to multiple devices - this is a single-port injector, not a multi-port midspan. If you are powering 4 or more high-power cameras, a dedicated High PoE switch will deliver better value and a tidier installation. It is also not suitable for outdoor or unprotected mounting - operating conditions require an indoor environment within -10 to 45 degrees C. The AXIS T8134 is available through Security Australia.

Before You Buy

Quick Fit Check

• Good match if: You have a single high-power Axis camera or device requiring up to 60 W and your existing switch lacks a High PoE port - the T8134 inserts inline and resolves the power gap without switch replacement.
• Good match if: Your installation includes an Axis Q60-E series camera operating in temperatures below -20 degrees C, where the additional power output is required to maintain stable camera operation in extreme cold.
• You may need a different model if: You are powering more than one high-demand device - a multi-port High PoE switch will be more appropriate and cost-effective than multiple single-port midspan injectors.

Real-World Scenarios

How It Compares

• Choose this if: You need to power a single high-demand device at up to 60 W using your existing switch and shielded Cat5e or higher cabling - particularly for Axis PTZ or Q60-E series cameras in demanding conditions.
• You may need a different model if: You have multiple high-power devices to power simultaneously - a dedicated multi-port High PoE switch will be more cost-effective and easier to manage at scale.
• Pairs well with: High-power PTZ cameras, multi-sensor cameras, or Axis Q60-E series cameras drawing up to 60 W; also compatible with PoE splitters for devices without built-in PoE support.

Common Questions

1. Does this midspan work with any PoE camera or just Axis products?

   It works with any IEEE 802.3at or 802.3af compliant PoE device, not only Axis cameras. The T8134 automatically detects whether the connected device supports standard PoE or High PoE and supplies power accordingly. That said, Axis specifically references this midspan for use with their Q60-E series in extreme cold, and it is designed and tested around Axis network camera compatibility.

2. Will this power a PTZ camera that draws more than 30 W?

   Yes. The T8134 delivers up to 60 W at 55 V DC - double the IEEE 802.3at maximum of 30 W. This covers most high-power PTZ cameras currently available. Check your camera's actual power draw specification; as long as it is 60 W or below, the T8134 will supply it. Note that operating temperature range reduces slightly when running at full 60 W load (maximum 45 degrees C ambient).

3. What cable do I need for the T8134?

   You need shielded Cat5 or higher cable - unshielded cable is not supported. The T8134 uses shielded RJ45 connectors compliant with EIA 568A and 568B wiring standards. For Gigabit data throughput, power is carried over all four cable pairs, so full 4-pair shielded Cat5e or Cat6 is the recommended choice for new installations.

4. Can I mount this on a DIN rail inside a comms cabinet?

   Yes, but you will need to purchase the AXIS Midspan DIN Clip A separately - it is not included in the box. Without the clip, the T8134 can be wall or shelf mounted. The unit measures 38 x 62 x 151 mm and weighs 320 g, so it occupies minimal DIN rail space inside a cabinet.

5. Does this work for outdoor installations?

   No. The T8134 is rated for indoor use only, with an operating temperature range of -10 to 45 degrees C at 60 W load. It must be installed in a protected indoor environment such as a comms room, cabinet, or wall box. The camera it powers can be outdoors - only the midspan itself needs to be housed indoors.

6. Is this unit compliant with Australian electrical standards?

   Yes. The T8134 holds RCM approval to AS/NZS CISPR22 Class B, confirming it meets Australian electromagnetic compatibility requirements for sale and use in Australia. It also carries CE, FCC Part 15 Class B, IEC/EN/UL 60950-1, RoHS, and REACH approvals. The unit is stocked by Security Australia and ships as an Australian-market compliant product.

7. How many devices can the T8134 power at once?

   One device only. The T8134 is a single-port midspan injector with 1 data input and 1 power+data output. If you need to power multiple high-demand devices, you will need either multiple T8134 units or a multi-port High PoE switch, which will typically be the more cost-effective and manageable solution beyond 2 or more ports.
