Veracity Outreach PoE-Powered LAN and PoE Repeater

Veracity OUTREACH doubles, triples or even quadruples the normal 330ft (100m) CAT5 cable run length for 100BaseT networks. It forwards both Ethernet and PoE for another 330ft (100m) using a patent-pending power-processing scheme, and multiple units can be employed in series for even longer distances, with no degradation in network speed or latency. OUTREACH itself is powered by a PoE network switch (or PoE injector) and so requires no separate power connection in the middle of the cable, making it extremely easy to connect and power IP cameras two or three times further than previously possible without going to fiber or installing midspan power sources.

In the simplest application, an OUTREACH allows an IP camera to be located 200 metres away from a POE switch. The switch delivers POE power over the first 100 metres of Cat5 cable to the OUTREACH, and the OUTREACH restores the Ethernet signal and forwards remaining POE power to the camera. The OUTREACH requires no local power supply, and the OUTREACH presents no restriction to the camera’s network connection. Typically, the POE switch would be confined to a centrally located equipment room, and would connect to several IP cameras distributed about the site. With OUTREACH, each camera may have its own dedicated connection to the switch, and power cable installation to remote switches or cameras is not required.
