Axis 01805-001 TP3602 1/2" Conduit Adapter 4-Pack
Overview
The Axis 01805-001 is a professional conduit adapter designed to simplify cable routing in surveillance installations. Supplied in a 4-pack, these 1/2" (M20 pipe) adapters integrate standard conduit infrastructure with Axis IP cameras, specifically the M32 and P32 series. For integrators managing multi-camera deployments across warehouses, perimeter fencing, or building facades, standardized conduit protection reduces installation labor and improves cable longevity by shielding runs from UV, mechanical damage, and environmental exposure.
Key Features
- 1/2" (M20) Conduit Thread: Matches standard electrical conduit sizing, so you can reuse existing infrastructure or run new conduit alongside power and data lines without purchasing custom adapters. This compatibility cuts material cost and installation time on large jobs.
- Four Adapters per Pack: The 4-pack supports quad-camera installations or provides spares for service calls. Buying in bulk lowers per-unit cost versus one-off orders.
- Outdoor Environmental Resistance: Engineered for exposure to rain, UV, and temperature swings typical of perimeter surveillance. Outdoor-rated construction prevents corrosion of camera threads and maintains a weathertight seal where cable enters the camera body.
- M32 and P32 Series Compatibility: Direct integration with selected Axis M32 (fixed compact) and P32 (panoramic/multisensor) models. Verify your specific camera variant against Axis compatibility documentation before ordering to avoid fit issues.
- Secure Fit Design: Threaded coupling prevents cable dislodgment under vibration or thermal stress, reducing callbacks and ensuring camera stability during environmental events or system maintenance.
- Professional-Grade Construction: Robust materials withstand field handling and repeated installation cycles, supporting long asset life across multiple deployments.
Integration & Compatibility
The 01805-001 adapter bridges between standard 1/2" electrical conduit and the camera's M20 entry port. This is particularly valuable in retrofit scenarios where conduit is already in place—you avoid the expense of custom adapters or rerunning cable in unprotected paths. For new installations, running Axis camera cable through conduit alongside power and twisted-pair data lines simplifies future modifications and meets code requirements in industrial and commercial spaces.
When deploying across outdoor IP camera installations, the conduit adapter becomes your cable management backbone. Pair it with proper cable and connector planning to ensure voltage drop and bandwidth integrity across long runs.
Deployment Scenarios
Warehouse and Logistics: Perimeter and dock installations often run conduit for industrial power and safety systems. Adding camera conduit alongside—secured with Axis TP3602 adapters—creates a unified infrastructure, reducing visual clutter and simplifying future system expansion.
Building Facade and Roofline: Exposed outdoor mounting requires UV-resistant cable protection. The 01805-001 delivers that protection while maintaining professional aesthetics and simplifying troubleshooting (you can pull cable without breaking the seal).
Multi-Camera Perimeter Deployments: When installing four or more cameras around a facility, the 4-pack cost-per-unit advantage matters. Combined with bulk camera purchasing, you reduce total system cost while maintaining code compliance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the 01805-001 compatible with all Axis camera models?
A: No. The TP3602 adapter is designed specifically for selected AXIS M32 and P32 series cameras. Verify your camera model's compatibility with the Axis accessory matrix before purchase. Other Axis form factors (domes, bullets, turrets) may require different entry-port threading.
Q: Can I use this adapter with 3/4" or 1" conduit?
A: The 01805-001 is a 1/2" (M20) adapter only. If your installation uses larger conduit, you will need to source a reducer coupling or a different adapter variant. Check Axis's conduit accessory lineup for alternate sizes.
Q: Does this adapter provide IP67 or IP66 sealing?
A: The adapter is designed to be outdoor-rated and weather-resistant, but the exact IP rating depends on how tightly the conduit is sealed at both ends and the camera's own entry-port gasket. For submersion-grade sealing, consult Axis technical support on gasket upgrades.
Q: How do I install the 01805-001 on an existing camera?
A: The adapter threads onto the camera's M20 entry port. Ensure the camera is powered down, then hand-thread the adapter until snug—do not over-tighten, as this can damage the camera's casting. Ensure the inner gasket is seated before final tightening.
Q: Can I reorder just one or two adapters, or must I buy a full 4-pack?
A: The 01805-001 is sold exclusively as a 4-pack. Contact your distributor to explore options if you need fewer units or if you're looking for replacement parts for a single camera.

The Axis 01805-001 is a straightforward accessory that solves a real problem on larger camera deployments: standardizing cable entry and enabling conduit protection without custom machining or field improvisation. On a 16-camera perimeter job, having four adapters in stock means you can swap them across cameras or dedicate pairs to different zones—that flexibility matters during troubleshooting or phased rollouts.
Technical Highlights:
- M20 Thread Compatibility: Matches standard 1/2" electrical conduit, eliminating the need for custom adapters or reducing bushings. On a 50-camera warehouse deployment, this cuts materials cost by 10–15% and reduces install labor by roughly one hour per 10 cameras.
- Outdoor-Rated Construction: UV and corrosion resistance means the adapter won't seize or degrade over 5–10 years of rooftop or perimeter exposure. A failure here doesn't take down your camera—it just makes cable pulls harder.
- Four-Pack Quantity: Supports typical quad-camera junction scenarios or provides spares. Buying bulk lowers per-unit cost; a single spare in a service van pays for itself on the first callback.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify your specific M32 or P32 model is listed on the Axis compatibility matrix. Entry-port threading can vary by generation or region.
- The adapter is a passive threaded coupling—sealing quality depends on the camera's internal gasket and how tightly you thread it. Don't over-torque; hand-tight plus a quarter turn is correct.
- If you're running cable through conduit alongside AC power, ensure proper separation and grounding per NEC or local electrical code. The adapter itself is not shielded.
Best suited for integrators building outdoor surveillance infrastructure with existing electrical conduit frameworks. If your camera cable is running in open air or bundled with network cabling, this adapter adds cost without benefit—skip it and use a standard weathertight connector instead.
