Veracity VCS-4P1 CAMSWITCH 4 Plus

Overview

OUTREACH Max G easily overcomes the distance limits of POE networks Simply connecting an OUTREACH Max G in line with the network cable instantly doubles the range from 100 metres (328 ft) to 200 metres (656 ft) with POE.

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

CAMSWITCH Plus network switches are 803.af/at Power over Ethernet (POE) 10/100 switches designed especially to meet the challenges of IP video installation. An optional POE input enables remote positioning and range extension, or a local power supply can be specified for maximum power budget.

CAMSWITCH 4 Plus features 4 802.3at POE ports, and a 5th port for downlink.

802.3at POE Power

CAMSWITCH Plus can deliver up to the full 25.5 watts required by IEEE 802.3at POE Plus devices such as outdoor or PTZ cameras. A selection of power supply options are available to suit the total power requirements and placement considerations of the installation.

40 watt and 78-watt camera/device power budgets are available from standard power supplies, or the full 200 watts for 8 POE Plus ports can be delivered using Veracity's forthcoming rackmount power solutions.

CAMSWITCH Plus can be powered by POE, doubling the distance to connected devices or enabling network connections to be easily added to existing installations. Up to 25 watts budget at 200 metres is available using Veracity's OUTSOURCE Plus injector.

Designed for installers

Camswitch Plus's network ports configure automatically for speed, duplex and crossover, and deliver 802.3af/at POE to compliant devices with no user setup required.

Snap-on clips are provided for secure wall mounting, and up to 4 units can be mounted in an optional 1U rack bracket.

IP Video

CAMSWITCH Plus delivers a compact, reliable and scalable solution to IP video networking which can grow with the installation.

Wireless

Power over Ethernet means that wifi access points and routers can be located optimally and moved easily. CAMSWITCH Plus extends this benefit to more devices and greater distances.

IP Telephony

CAMSWITCH Plus provides a simple way to add IP telephones or additional network ports to existing network outlets, without requiring a mains power connection.

OEM / custom

The versatile CAMSWITCH Plus platform can be customised to your needs. .
