Veracity OUTREACH Ethernet Network Repeaters

Outdoor Ethernet and POE Extender

OUTREACH G models as these support full gigabit data rates. OUTREACH Lite XT lets you locate your external IP camera or wireless transmitter right where you want it, without being restricted by the 100metre (328 feet) limit for Ethernet cables.

Based on Veracity's established OUTREACH Max extender, compatibility with regular 802.3af POE, 802.3at POE plus and 802.3bt High power POE is assured, with no configuration or setup required.

Its rugged and streamlined enclosure features IP67, NEMA 4X/6P rated connector covers that assemble easily around conventionally terminated Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables.

Guaranteed operation over an extended temperature range and versatile mounting options mean OUTREACH Max XT is suited to a wide range of installation scenarios.

And inter-building network links or extension to non-POE equipment is also supported, with Veracity's OUTREACH Lite XT model.

Applications:

OUTREACH Max XT Ethernet extenders are ideal for IP video applications, as they eliminate the one disadvantage that network cameras have compared to older analogue cameras: the limited cable length. As POE is becoming universal in digital video installations, Cat 5 cable extension is as simple as connecting an OUTREACH Max XT wherever it is needed.

OUTREACH Max XT can also be used to upgrade legacy twisted-pair video installations to IP with POE, where the Cat 5 infrastructure for a network is already in place, but run lengths exceed the 100 meter limit for Ethernet.

PTZ cameras, heater/blower units and door interlocks are all examples of products that are adopting the extended-power POE Plus standard that OUTREACH Max XT also supports.

Wireless networking

Like IP cameras, wireless access points (WAPs) are ideally suited to POE as they must be positioned optimally in locations that are often inaccessible or remote. Using OUTREACH Max XT, a WAP - or Bluetooth access point or RFID reader - can be located just where it is needed for optimal coverage.

High-power radios and 802.11n APs can take advantage of the POE Plus power which OUTREACH Max XT supports.

Extending non-POE networks

OUTREACH Max XT can be used in combination with OUTREACH Lite XT to extend networks without POE from 300 meters to over 2 kilometers.

 

Ethernet Extender for non-POE connections OUTREACH Lite provides a simple way to double the length of a 10/100 Ethernet connection. No configuration is required, it does not require a local power supply, and it does not restrict the throughput of the network link at all.

Compact and wall-mountable, OUTREACH Lite takes its power from the network cable using the universal 802.3af Power over Ethernet (POE) standard. Network connections can easily be upgraded to POE compatibility if it is not already available using a simple injector.

Note: OUTREACH Lite is powered by POE but does not forward it to other equipment. To extend network connections to devices that need POE or POE Plus, see Veracity's OUTREACH Max POE-forwarding Ethernet extender.

Rapid installation

Extending network cable runs from an existing POE switch port is as simple as connecting OUTREACH Lite in-line with the cable.  Cable runs of up to 200 metres (656 feet) in length are possible, by using a single OUTREACH Lite to connect two individual sections of up to 100 metres (328 feet) each.

Veracity's OUTREACH Lite Ethernet extender requires no external power supply.  It simply has two network ports which configure automatically on connection for network speed, duplex and crossover.

If no POE is available on the network, Veracity's OUTSOURCE injector can easily be added at either end of the connection.  No other equipment is required by end devices, as all Cat5/Cat6 links are regular Ethernet connections.

Full-bandwidth Ethernet extender

Because OUTREACH Lite repeats the Ethernet signal before it can degrade, the network can be extended without any restriction on its data capacity.  Thus the 200Mbit/s bandwidth of regular full-duplex 100BASE-T Ethernet is maintained, for maximum reliability and predictability of operation.

Go further

OUTREACH Lite can be used in combination with Veracity's OUTREACH Max POE-forwarding Ethernet extender, to create connections of 300 metres, 400 metres or even further.

For example, to extend a 100BASE-T connection to 400 metres (1312 feet) without any bandwidth restriction, two OUTREACH Max units would be located at 100 metre intervals, followed by an OUTREACH Lite. POE from the switch or injector would be forwarded by the OUTREACH Maxes as far as the OUTREACH Lite, so no power connections would be required along the connection.

This technique can be used to create unrestricted Cat5 network connections of greater than 2km (1.25 miles) in length if required.  See Veracity's "Long Range Ethernet Extension" application note for more information.

IP Video

Use OUTREACH Lite to extend network connections to IP video cameras that are locally powered and only require an Ethernet connection without POE.

OUTREACH Lite and OUTREACH Max can also be used to upgrade legacy twisted-pair video installations to IP, where the Cat 5 infrastructure for a network is already in place, but run lengths exceed the 100 meter limit for Ethernet.

All cabled network installations

OUTREACH Lite can be buried, located in conduits and plenum spaces, or wall mounted wherever network cable needs to run.  Because OUTREACH Lite draws its own power from a POE source in the network closet, reliability and flexibility are maximised.

OUTREACH Max XT can be used in combination with OUTREACH Lite XT to extend networks without POE from 300 meters to over 2 kilometers.

Ethernet Extender for POE and POE Plus equipment OUTREACH Max enables network installers to overcome the distance limitations of Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (POE) easily, meaning that IP cameras, wireless access points, and other POE-powered network devices can be located right where they are needed.

Simply connect OUTREACH Max in-line with the Cat5 or Cat6 network cable for every extra 100 metres (328 feet) of length required. No configuration or electrical supply is needed, and full-rate network throughput is maintained.

Note: OUTREACH Max extends network connections to POE-enabled devices only.

Extend Ethernet and POE

Ethernet and POE both restrict cable distances to 100 metres (328 feet) between network ports.  However, POE-powered devices such as IP cameras and wireless access points frequently must be located at far greater distances from the nearest network switch or power outlet.

OUTREACH Max provides an instant solution to this problem.  By connecting an OUTREACH Max for every extra 100 metres of cable, both Ethernet and POE can be extended to 200, 300, or even 800 metres (2625 feet).

Max power extension

OUTREACH Max is compatible with all regular (IEEE 802.3af) POE devices.  In addition, it can be used with IEEE 802.3at POE Plus equipment, and even non-standard or "4-pair" POE to over 60 watts.

For maximum power and range, Veracity's OUTSOURCE enhanced POE injector may be used.  The OUTSOURCE Plus enhanced POE Plus injector is recommended for all POE Plus applications.

Max cable range

OUTREACH Max's efficient design maximises the distance POE can be extended to, and multiple units can be connected in series for distances beyond 200 metres.

Range depends on the power required, so a 25 watt PTZ camera may be located 200 metres away using a single OUTREACH Max. Or, the cable length to a regular 5 watt IP camera may extend up to 800 metres (2625 feet), by fitting seven OUTREACH Maxes at 100 metre intervals.  See Veracity's forthcoming "Long Range Ethernet Extension" application note for more information.

Max reliability

Because OUTREACH Max draws its own power from the POE on the cable, all electrical power for the connected devices comes from a single POE switch or injector, which simplifies installation and allows back-up and control of all network power.

OUTREACH Max's only connections are its two Ethernet ports, and both configure automatically for link speed, duplex and crossover, to eliminate the risk of misconfiguration. Power is forwarded automatically, and issues with POE power classes are avoided.

As OUTREACH Max repeats the network connection every 100 metres, quality does not degrade.  This means that the full bandwidth of 100BASE-T Ethernet (200Mbit/sec) is maintained, even over 800 metre runs. This is essential for assured transparency and predictability.
