Axis 5507-401 T94B01P Conduit Back Box
The Axis 5507-401 is a purpose-built mounting and cable management accessory designed for compact dome camera installations. This conduit back box bridges the gap between ceiling, wall, or pipe infrastructure and Axis compact dome cameras, handling both mechanical mounting and organized wiring in a single component. If you're deploying M3044-V, M3045-V, or M3046-V cameras in retail, office, education, or facility management environments, this accessory ensures a professional installation without improvisation or field-fabricated solutions.
Key Features
- ½" ACI Interface: Accepts standard Axis Conduit Interface adapters, letting you route cables through the box and into conduit cleanly — no loose bundles at the junction. This keeps your wiring hidden, protected, and complaint-ready for inspections.
- Dual Pipe Compatibility (½" and M20): Works with both half-inch NPT schedule 40 conduit and M20 metric threaded pipe. That flexibility matters when integrating into existing building infrastructure or switching between regional installation standards without stocking multiple SKUs.
- Integrated Female Tripod Thread: Built-in 1/4"-20 tripod mount allows you to attach the dome camera directly to the back box without additional adapters. Reduces mounting stack height and simplifies the bill of materials.
- Optimized for M3044-V, M3045-V, M3046-V: Engineered specifically for Axis's compact fixed-dome line. Camera-accessory fitment is guaranteed — no guessing whether a generic third-party box will align properly with your optics or cable routing.
Integration & Compatibility
The 5507-401 is compatible with compact dome camera models M3044-V, M3045-V, and M3046-V exclusively. Verify your camera model before ordering. The conduit back box is designed to mount to ceiling, wall, or pendant installations — standard in indoor surveillance deployments. When paired with conduit infrastructure, it eliminates surface-mounted cable runs and creates a finished appearance that meets building code and aesthetic requirements in visible areas.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Which Axis cameras does the 5507-401 support?
A: The model 5507-401 is designed for Axis M3044-V, M3045-V, and M3046-V compact dome cameras. Do not use with other camera families — fitment and optical alignment are not guaranteed.
Q: Can I use the 5507-401 with M20 conduit?
A: Yes. The back box supports both ½" NPT and M20 threaded pipe, giving you flexibility to match your existing conduit infrastructure or regional installation standards.
Q: Does the tripod mount allow me to pan or tilt the camera?
A: The integrated female tripod thread is a mounting point only. It secures the camera to the back box and holds it level. Panning or tilting would require a separate pan-tilt head or motorized mount, which is not integrated into this accessory.
Q: What is the ACI interface used for?
A: The ½" ACI (Axis Conduit Interface) connection accepts Axis cable management adapters, allowing cables to pass through the back box and into conduit runs. This keeps wiring organized, protected, and hidden from view in professional installations.
Q: Is the 5507-401 an OEM Axis product?
A: Yes. The T94B01P is a genuine Axis accessory manufactured to OEM specifications and full compatibility with the M3044-V, M3045-V, and M3046-V camera line.

The 5507-401 is a straightforward mounting accessory that does one job well: it bridges the physical gap between your building's conduit infrastructure and Axis's M3044/M3045/M3046 compact domes while managing cable routing professionally. The dual pipe compatibility — both ½" NPT and M20 — is the real workhorse spec here, because it eliminates the need to source different back boxes for different regions or retrofit scenarios. That alone saves time in pre-sales engineering and keeps your parts inventory simpler.
Technical Highlights:
- ½" ACI Interface: Purpose-built for Axis Conduit Interface adapters, meaning cables don't just hang loose — they route through the box into conduit runs. This is the difference between a compliant installation and a visible cable mess in a retail or office ceiling.
- Dual Pipe Support (½" and M20): Not every region uses the same conduit standard. The 5507-401 handles both, which cuts your SKU count and lets you deploy the same back box across multiple installation sites without special orders or cross-docking.
- Integrated Tripod Mount: The female 1/4"-20 thread cuts one part from your BOM and eliminates a separate adapter. Simple, but it reduces assembly time and potential failure points in the field.
Deployment Considerations:
- This back box is only for M3044-V, M3045-V, and M3046-V cameras. Do not assume cross-compatibility with other Axis dome lines — I've seen integrators reach for a similar-looking back box and find it doesn't align. Verify the model number before ordering.
- The ACI interface is powerful for cable management but requires compatible conduit adapters (not included). Budget for those separately if your infrastructure doesn't already have them in place.
The 5507-401 is essential for professional deployments where conduit runs and hidden cable management are non-negotiable — retail chains, corporate office buildouts, and education facilities where visible wiring violates design or code compliance. It's not a universal accessory, but for its target cameras, it's the right choice.
