Veracity OUTREACH Quad extends PoE ethernet to 200m and powers up to 4 PoE network cameras
Veracity, the leader in IP connectivity and transmission
solutions, has today announced the launch of OUTREACH QUAD at IFSEC
this week. The compact 110mm by 110mm network switch distributes
Power over Ethernet (PoE) to up to four network cameras from a
single ethernet cable. Veracity's OUTREACH QUAD device is
itself PoE-powered by with PoE or PoE Plus (IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at
respectively) so it doesn't need to be located near an external
power supply.
OUTREACH QUAD also works with the recently launched OUTSOURCE Plus
to split PoE Plus (25 watts) power across four standard network
cameras which normally operate effectively on six watts each. The
additional advantage of using these products is that PoE can
simultaneously be distributed and extended across a further 100
metres over Cat 5 Ethernet cabling.
A variant of the product called OUTREACH Quad 12 adds an
intelligently managed and electrically isolated 12 volt power
output for auxiliary devices such as fans and heaters commonly used
in external PTZ and dome cameras. A second variant called OUTREACH
Quad Lite is a PoE-powered network switch with no PoE forwarding
capability.
Security installers have been frustrated by the restriction of
only having a maximum of 100 metre Ethernet cabling runs to network
cameras prior to signal degradation when they are used to being
able to lay 300 metre lengths of coax to CCTV cameras.
Veracity's OUTREACH family of products eliminates that problem
while simultaneously distributing PoE to reduce new network camera
installation costs considerably.
OUTREACH products work by simply connecting them in line with the
Ethernet cable to restore the network data and intelligently
forward power to PoE devices. Multiple OUTREACH devices can
be connected to extend Ethernet connections, with or without PoE,
by up to 1000 metres.
Alastair McLeod, managing director, Veracity UK Limited,
commented:
"OUTREACH QUAD is designed to help installers push PoE out to more
cameras, more cost effectively. Now that installers and
end-users are seeing the benefits of PoE they want to extend the
benefits right across a surveillance system in a cost effective
manner. This is now possible with OUTREACH QUAD."

H100.
