Reliability assured
HIGHWIRE Powerstar
’
s unique ultra 
low-power design and efficient power 
delivery enables long range extension 
even over the lowest-grade cable, such 
as the high-resistance copper-clad steel
(CCS) types found in many legacy 
installations. This means that legacy coax
upgrades can be planned with confidence,
while a quick check of the SafeView
TM
power display reaffirms that the devices’ 
connection will continue to be reliable,
whatever the cable used.
Reliable power delivery is also ensured 
at the source, where either dependable 
screw-terminal connections or a UPS-
backed POE supply can be used. And 
for predictable network operation with 
no restrictions, HIGHWIRE delivers a 
POE-over-Coax

Range
HIGHWIRE Powerstar delivers reliable power at long range, even over low-grade CCS cable, and Safeview
TM
 confirms it 
automatically on installation. In most cases the full 25 watts required by the most powerful POE Plus cameras is available. The 
table below shows the range achievable by cable type, power source, and camera wattage.
full 200Mbit/s of bandwidth at 300m
(1000 ft) of RG-59 or 500m (1600 ft)
of RG-11 coax. 
If a custom application demands a 
greater range, HIGHWIRE coax sections
can be connected in series to deliver
network connections up to 4km (2.5 
miles), at full bandwidth and with no 
extra power wiring.
A true plug-and-play solution for 
connecting and powering IP cameras 
over legacy coaxial cabling
Our unique ultra low-power design and reliable power delivery enables long 
range extension even over the lowest-grade cable, such as the high-resistance 
copper-clad steel (CCS) types found in many legacy installations.
