Ethernet and PoE over Coax converter

Simply add power

With no configuration or measurement required, installation of HIGHWIRE PowerStar is as straightforward as plugging it in.

Two models are used, as shown in the diagram below.  The BASE unit receives PoE power and transmits it down the coax.  The CAMERA unit receives power from the coax and delivers up to full PoE Plus power to the IP camera.

If PoE is not available, or for an extra power boost at either end of the cable, just connect the optional power supply.


Installer friendly

For fast installation and guaranteed performance, HIGHWIRE PowerStar features Veracity's unique SafeView display.

SafeView provides an instant and easy-to-understand confirmation of network and power status right across the cable, with no need to access remote equipment to check connections.

Meanwhile, safe and compliant detection of PoE equipment and PoE over coax compatibility ensures correct operation, with no risk of damage to non-PoE or legacy analog equipment.


Reliability assured

Because the length and quality of installed coaxial cable is hard to predict or measure, it is important to have confidence that the cable you are upgrading has the capacity to deliver continuous, reliable power to the new IP camera.

However, thanks to HIGHWIRE PowerStar's ultra low-power design and efficient power delivery, even the lowest grade of cheap RG-59 will support a 10 watt IP camera at any range likely to be found in a legacy installation.  And once connected, the SafeView power display instantly reaffirms that the actual power available to the camera is sufficient.

For predictable network performance, HIGHWIRE's proven technology delivers full network bandwidth, right to the limits of range.  And secure screw-terminal DC connections, or the option of using a UPS-backed PoE source, provide the last link in assuring continuous power delivery.
