AXIS T8123 High PoE Midspan 1-port AXIS T8126 High PoE Splitter 12V AXIS T8128 High PoE Splitter 24V INSTALLATION GUIDE
The AXIS High PoE Midspan (model T8123) injects 55 V DC power into Ethernet spare pairs, while the T8126 (12 V) and T8128 (24 V) splitters provide regulated DC to Axis video devices. The guide covers safety requirements, cable specifications, and connection procedures for reliable PoE operation.
Key steps include connecting the Midspan to an approved AC power cable, linking the Data In port to a network switch, and attaching splitters close to the camera. The document also details LED indicators, mounting options, environmental limits, and troubleshooting tips for common power‑up issues.

Questions answered in these manuals
How can I tell if the Midspan is receiving AC power?
The AC input LED will be steady green when AC power is connected.
What should I do if the Midspan does not power up?
Verify that an approved power cable is used, check that the inlet voltage is between 100 V and 240 V AC, and re‑apply power to the device.
Does the PoE Midspan have an on/off switch?
No, the unit powers on automatically when connected to an AC outlet.
What is the maximum Ethernet cable length allowed?
The Ethernet cable length from the network source to the terminal must not exceed 100 meters (333 feet).
Which LED indicates an overload or short‑circuit condition?
A green blinking LED on the AC indicator shows that the output voltage is out of range, indicating overload or short‑circuit.
