AXIS T8154 60W SFP MIDSPAN AUS POWER OVER ETHERNET
When powering a high-demand PTZ camera or advanced network device over a single Ethernet cable is the requirement, the AXIS T8154 60W SFP Midspan delivers up to 60W of IEEE 802.3bt-compliant High PoE from a compact, plug-and-play unit. It accepts both SFP fibre and RJ45 data inputs, making it equally useful in fibre-fed and copper network runs. Mounts to a wall, shelf, or DIN rail, and is compatible with all Axis PoE-enabled network products.
Why This Model
- 60W High PoE output: IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 Class 6 compliance means it can fully power demanding devices like PTZ cameras that standard 30W PoE switches simply cannot support.
- Dual SFP and RJ45 data input: Accepts either a fibre SFP module or a standard copper RJ45 connection, so it integrates cleanly into mixed or fibre-backbone networks without additional media converters.
- Flexible mounting: Wall, shelf, or DIN rail mounting - and fits inside the AXIS T91G61 wall mount - keeps the unit protected and tidy in both indoor cabinet and outdoor enclosure installations.

AXIS T8154 60W SFP MIDSPAN AUS POWER OVER ETHERNET
Model: AXIS T8154 60 W SFP Midspan
Who This Is For
When powering high-draw devices over a single Ethernet cable is the priority, the AXIS T8154 60W SFP Midspan is the purpose-built solution. Installers specifying IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 power delivery for outdoor PTZ cameras, multi-sensor units, or advanced network equipment will find this midspan handles up to 60 W output at 55 V DC - enough headroom for demanding loads that standard 802.3af or 802.3at switches cannot serve. The SFP slot adds genuine flexibility for fibre uplinks, making it relevant on longer cable runs or ring-topology networks where copper alone falls short. Compact at 50 x 80 x 184 mm and mountable on wall, shelf, or DIN rail, it fits comfortably inside an AXIS Wall Mount housing for outdoor PTZ deployments. A plug-and-play design with automatic PoE device detection means no configuration is needed at commissioning.
What This Product Actually Does
60 W High PoE Output
Delivers up to 60 W at 55 V DC, conforming to IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 Class 6. This covers high-power PTZ cameras and advanced network devices that exceed the 30 W ceiling of standard 802.3at switches, removing the need for a separate power supply at the camera end.
SFP Slot for Fibre Uplinks
The integrated SFP slot accepts single-mode and multimode fibre modules (sold separately), enabling long-distance or electrically isolated data runs. This is practical for installations where copper Ethernet cannot reach the switch, or where ground loop isolation between buildings is needed.
Automatic PoE Device Detection
The T8154 automatically identifies whether a connected device supports standard PoE or High PoE and supplies the correct power level. No manual configuration is required, reducing commissioning time and the risk of misconfiguration during installation.
Dual Data Input - SFP and RJ45
Accepts data via shielded RJ45 (EIA 568A/568B) or the SFP slot, supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps. This dual-input flexibility means the midspan can sit at the end of either a copper or fibre infrastructure segment without additional media converters in the path.
Wall Mount and DIN Rail Compatible
Mounts on a wall, shelf, or DIN rail, and fits inside an AXIS Wall Mount housing. For outdoor PTZ deployments, it can be installed inside the AXIS T91G61 to operate in temperatures ranging from -50 °C to 50 °C, keeping all active components enclosed and protected.
Integrated Surge Protection and LED Status
Built-in surge protection guards connected equipment against electrical disturbances on the data line. Front-panel LEDs provide immediate visual confirmation of PoE status and power state, allowing quick fault diagnosis without needing to access management software.
Who Buys This Model
- Security Integrators Deploying Outdoor PTZ Cameras: When a site's existing PoE switch tops out at 802.3at (30 W), the T8154 bridges the gap, delivering up to 60 W to power-hungry PTZ units without a switch upgrade.
- Installers Running Fibre Backbones: Sites using fibre between buildings or across long distances use the SFP slot to terminate the fibre run and inject PoE power at the camera end, eliminating the need for a separate media converter and power injector.
- IT and Facilities Teams Expanding Existing Axis Networks: Organisations that already operate Axis network products and need to add a high-power device to a copper or fibre segment without replacing their core switching infrastructure.
- Installers Mounting Equipment on DIN Rails in Electrical Enclosures: Panel builders and installers organising active network equipment inside switchboards or enclosures benefit from the DIN rail clip compatibility and compact 517 g form factor.
Honest Assessment
The AXIS T8154 does one thing very well: it delivers a full 60 W of IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 power over a single Ethernet cable while offering the uncommon option of a fibre SFP uplink. That combination makes it genuinely useful on installations where the switch is too far away for copper, or where an existing switch cannot supply enough power for a high-draw PTZ. The plug-and-play detection, front-panel LEDs, and multiple mounting options mean it installs quickly and is straightforward to fault-find. It is available through Security Australia and carries RCM approval (AS/NZS CISPR32) for Australian installations.
Where it is not the right tool: it is a single-port midspan, so it is not a cost-effective way to power multiple devices. Sites needing 4, 8, or more high-power ports should look at a multi-port 802.3bt managed switch instead. It also does not provide data switching - it passes data between one uplink port and one downstream device only.
Before You Buy
Power Budget Note: The T8154 delivers its full 60 W output only when the ambient temperature is 45 °C or below. At locations where enclosure temperatures may exceed 45 °C, output is limited to 30 W. If you are mounting the unit inside a sealed outdoor enclosure in a hot-climate Australian installation, verify your expected internal enclosure temperature before specifying this unit for a device drawing more than 30 W.
SFP Module Not Included: The SFP slot is present but the SFP module itself is an optional accessory. Specify the correct module for your fibre type before ordering - the AXIS T8611 is for single-mode LC fibre, the T8612 for multimode LC fibre, and the T8613 for copper Gigabit (1000BASE-T) if you need a second RJ45 option on the uplink side.
Quick Fit Check
- Good match if: You are installing a single high-power PTZ or advanced network device that draws more than 30 W and your existing switch only supports 802.3at - the T8154's 60 W 802.3bt Type 3 output fills that gap without a switch replacement.
- Good match if: Your data uplink to the camera location is fibre rather than copper - the SFP slot lets you terminate the fibre run and inject power at the device end in a single compact unit.
- You may need a different model if: You need to power 4 or more devices from one location - a multi-port 802.3bt managed PoE switch will be significantly more cost-effective and practical than multiple single-port midspans.

Real-World Scenarios
How It Compares
- Choose this if: You need to power a single high-draw device (over 30 W) from an existing 802.3at switch, or if your uplink to the camera location is fibre and you need PoE injection at the far end.
- You may need a different model if: You need to power multiple high-draw devices at the same location - a multi-port 802.3bt managed PoE switch is more practical and economical than multiple single-port midspans.
- Pairs well with: High-power outdoor PTZ cameras, multi-sensor panoramic units drawing above 30 W, and fibre SFP modules suited to the cable type used on site.
Common Questions
-
Will the T8154 work with my existing 802.3at switch?
Yes. The T8154 connects to your existing switch via its RJ45 or SFP uplink port and adds high-power injection between the switch and the end device. Your switch sees a standard data connection; the midspan handles the elevated power delivery. The downstream device receives up to 60 W regardless of what the uplink switch can supply in terms of power. -
Does this device need any configuration or software setup?
No. The T8154 automatically detects the PoE class of the connected device and supplies the appropriate power level. There is no web interface, management software, or configuration required. The front-panel LEDs indicate power and PoE status, which is all the feedback needed during installation and fault diagnosis. -
What does IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 Class 6 mean in practice, and why does it matter?
IEEE 802.3bt is the current high-power PoE standard. Type 3 Class 6 defines a power allocation of up to 60 W at the power sourcing equipment (PSE) side, delivering a minimum of approximately 51 W to the powered device (PD) after cable losses. Earlier standards - 802.3af (15.4 W) and 802.3at (30 W) - cannot power modern high-draw PTZ cameras or multi-sensor units. The T8154 outputs 55 V DC at up to 60 W, covering Class 6 devices and below, and uses all four cable pairs for power delivery (pairs 1/2, 3/6, 4/5, and 7/8), which requires Cat5e or better cabling throughout the run. -
Which SFP modules are compatible with the T8154?
Axis specifies 3 optional SFP modules for this unit. The AXIS T8611 is a single-mode LC fibre module, the AXIS T8612 is a multimode LC fibre module, and the AXIS T8613 is a 1000BASE-T copper Gigabit module for use when a second RJ45 connection is preferred on the uplink side. SFP modules are not included in the box and must be ordered separately. Third-party SFP modules are not specified as compatible by Axis, so using the listed Axis modules is recommended for supported configurations. The T8154 is stocked by Security Australia, and compatible SFP modules can be found in the Axis accessories range. -
Does the T8154's 60 W output apply in all temperature conditions?
No. The full 60 W output is only available when the ambient temperature is 45 °C or below. Above 45 °C, the unit is rated for up to 30 W. If the T8154 is mounted inside a sealed enclosure in a hot Australian climate where internal temperatures may exceed 45 °C during summer, verify that your device draws no more than 30 W or ensure the enclosure is ventilated. When mounted inside the AXIS T91G61 outdoor wall mount and connected to a compatible outdoor PTZ, the operating range extends from -50 °C to 50 °C. -
Will this work with non-Axis cameras or network devices?
Yes, for any device that complies with IEEE 802.3bt, 802.3at, or 802.3af. The T8154 is standards-based and the automatic detection circuit identifies the PoE class of any compliant powered device, not just Axis products. The specification notes that it is compatible with all Axis PoE network products, but the underlying IEEE standard means it will supply power to any compliant third-party device as well. Non-PoE or non-compliant devices will not receive power, and the data path will still function independently. -
What cable category is required for 60 W delivery at full Gigabit speeds?
Cat5e is the minimum for both Gigabit data and 802.3bt power delivery, but Cat6 or Cat6A is recommended for new installations to reduce insertion loss and heat in the cable under high power load. The T8154 uses all 4 pairs for power at full 802.3bt output, so the cable must have all 4 pairs intact and properly terminated at both ends to EIA 568A or 568B standards. Flat patch cables or non-standard wiring should not be used on runs delivering 60 W.
