A splitter is used to split the power and data in an Ethernet cable into two separate cables, which then can be connected to a network device that has no built-in support for Power over Ethernet (PoE). AXIS T8127 60 W Splitter 12/24 V DC enables Axis' network products and accessories, such as Axis' illuminators, media converters etc.. to receive 12 or 24 V DC with up to 4.5A. The splitter can be powered from any Axis midspan or PoE switch. AXIS T8127 offers an easy, fast and cost-effective solution compared with adding a power supply to your system.
