Axis 01468-001 PoE+ Over Coax Media Converter
Overview
The Axis 01468-001 (T8643) is a compact media converter that transmits PoE+ power and network data over existing coaxial cabling — solving the retrofit problem where re-cabling legacy analog infrastructure is either impractical or cost-prohibitive. A single-channel compact unit, it pairs with the T8641 base station to form a complete upgrade path for facilities with established coax runs. The T8643 installs at the camera end of the coax line, converting received power and data back into standard Ethernet and PoE+ for IP-based cameras or third-party devices.
Compatibility
Works with any Axis network camera or third-party PoE+-capable IP camera rated for standard 802.3at PoE+ input. The T8643 is the remote end of the T8645 kit — use it alongside the T8641 PoE+ Over Coax Base Unit at the head end. No compatibility with PoE (802.3af only) cameras unless the source power is sufficient; verify camera power draw does not exceed PoE+ limits (30W nominal per IEEE 802.3at). Coaxial cable type must support bidirectional data and power transmission at the frequencies required (100 Mbps symmetric capability).
Installation Notes
Mount on wall or in rack enclosure using supplied fastening points. Shielded RJ-45 connectors (EIA 568A/568B wiring standard) connect to network equipment; coax feeds from the base unit. LED indicators on the top panel display network link, Ethernet activity, and power status — green indicates good PoE over coax and successful PoE+ delivery to the camera. Install in indoor environments only; operating temperature not specified in evidence but Axis infrastructure products typically support 0–40°C. Compact footprint (exact dimensions not provided) allows integration into standard back boxes and tight cable management scenarios.
