Key Benefits: The Veracity HIGHWIRE Longstar VLS-1P-BC offers unparalleled distance capabilities, seamless POE Plus delivery, and simplified installation for cost-effective IP camera system upgrades while utilizing existing coaxial infrastructure.
HIGHWIRE Longstar delivers unsurpassed distances HIGHWIRE Longstar delivers a full bandwidth 100Base-T network signal and POE Plus over unsurpassed lengths of regular coaxial cable. It provides the reassurance of exceptional performance and reliability, while enabling considerable savings in the cost, time and risk of upgrading legacy analogue camera installations to IP.
A range of 540 - 690 metres with RG-59 or even up to 1400 metres with RG-11 is supported, without compromising the 100Base-T data rate. For even greater distances it can automatically configure to 10Base-T operation, running approx. three times further with data only
Models with optional POE in or out can deliver the full 25 watts of 802.3at POE Plus to cameras over the same legacy cable. Designed for straight-forward installation, all the HIGHWIRE Longstar models are entirely self-configuring, and feature extended temperature operation, have a rugged enclosure with both wall-mount or high density rack mounting options
Designed for InstallersUsed in pairs, installation of HIGHWIRE Longstar is extremely fast and efficient. The devices self-configure and self optimise on connection. No set-up or system pairings are required. Data and power connections are easily monitored during installation using the embedded LEDs. The system incorporates Veracity's SafeView™ technology, which provides instant confirmation of link status, power level and diagnostic information.
Flexible High Performance Although designed for 75 Ohm cable, HIGHWIRE Longstar will operate over 50 Ohm cable with full performance and only a slight reduction in the maximum distance attainable.
POE - Simple Reliability POE-equipped models allow all of the power for the link to be sourced from a POE switch, POE injector or power supply, for simple installation and optional UPS backed power delivery for high resilience against grid power failures.
