AXIS T8604 Media Converter Switch allows Axis video products to connect to the network using
standard network or ber optic cables that help lower the cost of installing the cameras over long
distances.
Perfect for city surveillance, airports and other long
distance installations, AXIS T8604 Media Converter
Switch is a DIN-mounted device that can convert an
Ethernet signal to be used over optical ber cable. Fiber
optic connections are typically used in surveillance
installations where lightning strikes are a threat or
great connection distances are required. Surveillance
integrators in the eld can also connect installation
monitors and laptops to A XIS T8604 for camera
maintenance and control.
The media converter switch is compatible with all Axis
network video products. An Axis camera/encoder
connects to AXIS T8604 using an Ethernet cable, and
through the media converter switch and data is provided
to the network video product. Two SFP slots give
installers the exibility to connect the cameras costeectively to the network over long distances. The RJ45 connectors can also be used for connection to
complementary cameras or temporarily to a laptop to
service the system locally.
> Two SFP slots and
two RJ-45 ports
The media converter switch can be connected in a daisy
chain network. The maximum number of cameras that
can be connected in the daisy chain depends on the
generated bitrate per camera. The limitations are the
100Mbit link between camera and media converter
switch, and the 1000 Mbit link between the media
converter switches. AXIS T8604 does not feature IGMP
Snooping.
