Data Sheet

POE Models of HIGHWIRE Longstar enable
both network data and power to be carried
over extended lengths of new or existing
coaxial cable.
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 Installers
Used 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
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.
Long-range Ethernet with POE
over coax at distances up to
1,400 metres
HIGHWIRE Longstar’s ruggedness and high performance is particularly
suited to rail, metro and industrial applications
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.
