Axis 5505-801 F8002 DIN Rail Clip with Angled Mounting Bracket
Overview
The Axis 5505-801 is a DIN rail clip designed to mount AXIS F Series main units onto standard DIN rails inside control panels, junction boxes, or equipment enclosures. If your F Series deployment lives inside a structured enclosure rather than on a wall or ceiling surface, the 5505-801 (often searched as 5505 801) is the mechanical piece that makes that installation clean and repeatable. The white housing blends with typical enclosure interiors without standing out visually.
Evidence on hand is limited to the three facts Axis publishes for this accessory — compatible device family, form factor, and color. No additional specifications (dimensions, rail pitch, weight) are available from verified manufacturer sources, so this page reflects only what can be confirmed.
Key Features
- DIN Rail Form Factor with Angled Bracket: The angled bracket geometry lets you orient the F Series main unit at a practical angle inside enclosures where space is constrained — rather than forcing a flat-against-rail orientation that may conflict with cabling or adjacent components.
- F Series Compatibility: Designed specifically for the AXIS F Series main unit family, so mechanical fit is confirmed by the manufacturer. No guesswork about whether the clip pattern matches the unit's mounting points.
- White Housing: Matches standard enclosure and DIN rail accessory aesthetics, keeping installations visually consistent in light-colored control panels.
Integration & Compatibility
The 5505-801 is confirmed compatible with the AXIS F Series main unit. If you are deploying F Series cameras in an industrial cabinet, server room enclosure, or structured wiring panel with standard DIN rail, this clip is the correct mounting solution. Consult the Axis Communications product line or the broader security camera accessories catalog for companion mounting hardware. For F Series camera heads and main units themselves, see the Axis F Series page. If you are planning a complete F Series enclosure build, pairing this clip with appropriate DIN rail power supplies keeps the installation self-contained.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What devices is the Axis 5505-801 compatible with?
A: The 5505-801 is designed for use with the AXIS F Series main unit. Compatibility with other Axis product families is not confirmed by available manufacturer documentation.
Q: What DIN rail size does the 5505-801 fit?
A: Axis does not publish the specific DIN rail pitch (e.g., 35mm TS-35) in the available documentation for this accessory. Verify with Axis or your distributor before ordering if your enclosure uses a non-standard rail.
Q: Is the 5505-801 sold with the AXIS F Series main unit, or separately?
A: The 5505-801 is a separately orderable accessory under its own part number and is not included with the main unit in standard packaging.
Q: What color is the F8002 DIN Rail Clip?
A: White, per Axis product documentation.
The 5505-801 is a purpose-built DIN rail clip for the AXIS F Series main unit — and the angled bracket geometry is the detail worth paying attention to. When you are fitting an F Series main unit inside a populated control panel or junction box, a flat DIN mount often puts the unit's connectors facing in the wrong direction for your cable run. The angled bracket on the 5505-801 buys you the orientation flexibility to keep wiring clean without mechanical improvisation.
Technical Highlights:
- Angled Bracket Design: Allows the F Series main unit to be oriented at an angle on the DIN rail, reducing cable-routing conflicts in densely populated enclosures.
- F Series-Specific Fit: Axis designed this clip for the F Series main unit mounting pattern — no adapter plates or improvised hardware needed, which matters for enclosures where physical reliability is expected long-term.
- White Housing: Consistent with standard light-colored enclosure interiors; not a cosmetic afterthought when you are doing a finished installation in a client-visible panel.
Deployment Considerations:
- DIN rail pitch compatibility is not published in available Axis documentation for the 5505-801 — confirm the rail standard in your enclosure (typically 35mm TS-35 in North American panels) before the clip arrives on site.
- Available evidence does not confirm dimensions or weight; if your enclosure has tight vertical spacing between DIN rail rows, request a dimensional drawing from Axis before finalizing the enclosure layout.
This clip is the right call for F Series deployments where the main unit needs to live inside a structured enclosure — industrial control panels, server room patch bays, or any installation where wall/surface mounting is not an option and a clean DIN rail build is the standard.
