AXIS D8004 Unmanaged PoE Switch

The AXIS D8004 Unmanaged PoE Switch is a compact powerhouse built for small to mid-size deployments where space is at a premium but the need for reliable network power is non-negotiable. Engineered with a 60 W PoE budget spread across four 10/100 Mbps ports, this palm-sized device powers and connects up to four PoE-enabled devices without the complexity of network management. Its sturdy metal enclosure, plug-and-play simplicity, and energy-conscious design make it an ideal choice for locations like small offices, retail storefronts, security camera clusters, wireless access points, and hospitality setups. Whether you’re expanding an existing network or deploying a compact solution for a single-project site, the AXIS D8004 delivers dependable PoE and data performance with minimal footprint and fuss.

• Compact, palm-sized design. The AXIS D8004 combines four PoE-capable ports and essential PoE electronics inside a durable metal chassis, making it easy to place on a desk, mount in a small cabinet, or tuck into a tight equipment rack without sacrificing reliability or performance. The compact form factor is ideal for space-constrained environments where traditional switches would feel bulky.
• 4-port 10/100 Mbps PoE+ connectivity. Each of the four RJ-45 ports handles data and PoE power, enabling rapid expansion of IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled devices. With automatic negotiation and PoE power delivery, devices power up quickly and consistently as soon as they’re connected to the network.
• 60 W total PoE budget for versatile deployments. The shared PoE budget allows you to power multiple devices from a single switch, reducing the need for separate power adaptors and simplifying cabling. This makes it suitable for small camera clusters, a few access points, or a small fleet of PoE devices in a single space.
• IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ support. The D8004 supports both PoE (IEEE 802.3af) and PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at), enabling compatibility with a wide range of PoE devices, including higher-power cameras and access points. This ensures flexibility as your network evolves and device power needs change over time.
• Plug-and-play, unmanaged operation. No management interface, no software configuration, and no complex setup. Simply connect your devices and the uplink to your network, and the switch will start delivering both data and power immediately. This makes it ideal for quick deployments, temporary sites, or environments where IT resources are limited.

How to install AXIS D8004 Unmanaged PoE Switch

• Choose a secure, accessible location for the AXIS D8004 in your network area—on a desk, wall-mountable space, or within a small equipment cabinet.
• Connect up to four PoE-enabled devices to the four RJ-45 ports using Category 5e/6 Ethernet cables. Ensure cables are properly seated for reliable data transmission and power delivery.
• Connect the uplink port to your network core (router, switch, or PoE-enabled hub) with a standard Ethernet cable to establish connectivity with the rest of your network.
• Power the switch according to your environment’s requirements. If an external power source is needed, supply the appropriate transformer or power adapter as per the device specifications and safety guidelines.
• Power on the switch and verify operation by inspecting the LED indicators (data link and PoE activity) on each port. Once powered, connected PoE devices should boot and begin communicating with the network without any additional configuration.
