2N 02249-001 TU6004-E F-2nd Gen Series Cable 1m 4-Pack
The 2N 02249-001 is a four-pack of 1-meter interconnect cables purpose-built for Axis F-2nd Gen Series surveillance devices. These cables handle short-run connections between cameras, junction boxes, and power distribution points — common in modular and distributed surveillance architectures where cable runs under a meter keep installation flexible and reduce bulk.
Key Features
- 1-Meter Fixed Length: Eliminates cable slack and unnecessary coiling in cabinet or conduit runs. One meter is the standard bridge between an Axis F-2nd Gen camera module and its associated power or interface adapter, so you avoid over-provisioning cable that requires strain management and extra termination labor.
- Axis F-2nd Gen Compatibility: These cables are engineered specifically for Axis F-2nd Gen Series devices — the modular camera platform where interchangeable sensor heads plug into a common connection interface. Using a validated connector ensures first-contact reliability and eliminates the cost of trial-and-error field termination or swapping connectors.
- Four-Pack Redundancy: Four cables per box gives you spares for installation rework, testing, or replacement without a separate ordering cycle. For a modular system where you might be swapping or testing sensor modules, having extras on hand reduces downtime.
- Durable Construction: Built to withstand repeated insertion and removal cycles typical in modular surveillance deployments. The cable jacket resists UV exposure and temperature swings common in both indoor and outdoor installations, so field life matches the expected service life of Axis camera modules.
- Weather-Resistant Jacket: The outer sheath resists moisture ingress, allowing deployment in humid or semi-wet environments. This is important if your F-2nd Gen modules are installed near building eaves, in HVAC rooms, or in warehouse high-bay areas where condensation is present.
- Plug-and-Play Mating: Proprietary connectors are keyed to prevent reverse insertion. Once crimped at the factory, no field termination is required — you uncoil, route, insert, and move on.
Integration & Compatibility
The 02249-001 cables are validated for Axis F-2nd Gen camera modules and their associated interface or power distribution boxes. If you are deploying an Axis modular surveillance system where multiple sensor heads or I/O interfaces require short interconnects, these cables are the approved replacement and spare option. Confirm your specific Axis device model references TU6004-E or F-2nd Gen in the datasheet before ordering.
Deployment Context
Modular camera platforms like the F-2nd Gen series are common in large-format surveillance installs — data centers, manufacturing floors, and warehouse environments where you want a single power and network backbone with swappable sensor heads at multiple vantage points. The 1-meter length is the default run inside a cabinet or between a ceiling-mount junction box and the camera module itself. Stock spares of the 02249-001 prevent single-cable failures from halting a sensor swap or troubleshooting cycle. For longer runs or different connector types, consult the broader Axis surveillance line or contact Axis directly for validated extensions.
When to Choose a Different Option
If your installation requires cable runs longer than 1 meter between devices, or if you need a different connector type, you will need an extended or alternate variant from the Axis F-2nd Gen accessory catalog. If you are not using Axis F-2nd Gen modular cameras, this cable will not be compatible — verify your device part number against Axis documentation before purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 02249-001 compatible with all Axis cameras?
A: No. The 2N 02249-001 is designed specifically for Axis F-2nd Gen Series modular cameras. It will not work with other Axis models or non-Axis cameras. Always confirm your device model matches the F-2nd Gen specification before ordering.
Q: Can I extend these cables or splice them for longer runs?
A: Extending or splicing proprietary connectors is not recommended and will void any warranty. If you need runs longer than 1 meter, contact Axis for validated extended-length or repeater options.
Q: What is the intended installation environment for these cables?
A: The cables are rated for indoor and outdoor use with weather-resistant jackets. They handle typical surveillance deployment temperatures and humidity. For submersion, extreme temperature swings, or harsh chemical exposure, consult the manufacturer datasheet for specific environmental limits.
Q: Do these cables carry power or only data?
A: The proprietary connector on the TU6004-E interface carries both power and data signals for the F-2nd Gen modular interface. The cable itself is a multipurpose interconnect. Do not attempt to use it for single-purpose (power-only or data-only) runs.
Q: How many cables do I need for a typical F-2nd Gen installation?
A: That depends on the number of sensor modules and interface components in your system. One cable connects each module to the power/interface box. The four-pack covers roughly four complete module connections plus spares. For larger deployments, order multiple packs.
Q: What warranty applies to the 02249-001?
A: Warranty terms are set by the manufacturer. Contact your supplier or Axis directly for coverage details.

The 2N 02249-001 is a straightforward accessory with one job: bridge the 1-meter gap between an Axis F-2nd Gen modular camera head and its power/data interface. In a distributed or multi-sensor installation, having validated spares is non-negotiable—a failed interconnect cable can sideline a high-value modular platform for days if you don't have immediate replacement inventory.
Technical Highlights:
- Proprietary Connector: The TU6004-E mating interface is keyed to prevent reverse insertion and carries both power and data on a single cable run—no need for separate power and Ethernet runs at short distances. This reduces clutter and installation labor inside cabinets or junction boxes.
- 1-Meter Length: This is the factory standard for F-2nd Gen module-to-interface distances. Anything longer or shorter requires special ordering or field modification, which introduces reliability risk and service cost.
- Weather-Resistant Jacket: Rated for outdoor and humid indoor environments. UV and moisture resistance mean these cables won't degrade in weeks if exposed to direct sun or condensation—a common failure mode with cheap or unrated generic cables in surveillance deployments.
- Four-Pack Quantity: Spares pay for themselves on the first module swap or troubleshooting cycle. Without them, you're sourcing an overnight replacement and eating labor time.
Deployment Considerations:
- Do not attempt to extend or splice these cables. The proprietary connector is not field-serviceable—buy the correct length upfront or contact Axis for validated extended variants.
- Confirm your camera model explicitly references F-2nd Gen or TU6004-E. Using the wrong cable on a non-compatible module can cause intermittent faults or data corruption that are devilishly hard to diagnose in the field.
- Stock these as consumables in any F-2nd Gen deployment over four modules. When a cable fails (and one eventually will in a large install), you need immediate replacement inventory to keep downtime under an hour.
For warehouse or manufacturing surveillance where modular sensor heads are swapped seasonally or for facility upgrades, the 02249-001 is the only validated cable option. It's not exciting, but reliable spare inventory prevents the crisis call at 11 p.m. on a Friday.
