Multiply your PoE network range

OUTREACH MAX and OUTREACH LITE let you instantly extend your
Ethernet network installation beyond its 100 metre (328 foot) limit.

Because they use Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, OUTREACH MAX
and OUTREACH LITE can be easily fitted wherever network extension is
required, with no need for a local power source.

OUTREACH MAX extends Cat5e, Cat 6 or similar network connections to
devices that use PoE power, such as IP cameras and wireless access points:

LED indicators – both connectors

Network status PoE Status

On Link On PoE power enabled

Flashing Activity Off PoE not enabled

Off No link

Note that the LEDs on OUTREACH MAX will not light until the PoE source
and powered device are both connected

If the powered device is disconnected, then the OUTREACH MAX should
also be disconnected from the PoE power source. OUTREACH MAX should

not be connected to equipment that is not PoE compatible.

Maximum extension distance

By installing an OUTREACH MAX for every extra 100 metres of cable, PoE
and Ethernet can be extended for considerable distances, with no
bandwith restrictions or any requirement for electrical power installation.

The maximum distance from the PoE source to the IP camera or other
device depends on how much PoE power the device requires:

OUTREACH LITE extends network connections to devices that do not use
PoE, such as PCs and routers:

As OUTREACH MAX and OUTREACH LITE restore the Ethernet connection
every 100 metres (328 feet), full-capacity 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T is
maintained across the entire link, with no bandwidth restrictions.

These figures are strict upper limits for installations using regular 24AWG
Cat 5e cable. Because actual power use and installed cable distances can
vary, using OUTSOURCE or OUTSOURCE PLUS is always recommended.

OUTSOURCE is an enhanced PoE injector and is fully compliant with the
IEEE 802.3af standard. OUTSOURCE PLUS is an enhanced PoE Plus injector
and is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard.

The distance limits for extension at other peak power levels can be checked

Non-standard PoE

OUTREACH MAX can be used with many implementations of PoE that are
not IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at compliant. This includes high-current PoE, or
PoE which is “always-on” or uses a proprietary signature.

Four-pair PoE, in which current is carried on both spare and data pairs to
double available power, is also supported. See application notes.

Example OUTREACH MAX / OUTREACH LITE applications

1. Delivering 20 watts to a PoE Plus device over 300 metres (984 feet)

More than one OUTR EACH Max ma y be conn e cted in series to exten d PoE and Eth erne t for severa l h undred metres. I n the example above,
Veracity's OUTSOURCE PLUS injecto r i s us ed to add e nha nced PoE Pl us ca pa bi li ty to a regular unpowered network p ort.
Two OUTREACH MAX u nits a re l o ca ted 100 me tres a nd 200 metres from the s witch, a ll owi ng a PoE Pl us wi reless a ccess poi nt to be ins tal l ed
up to 300 me tres from th e power sou rce.

2. Extending an unpowered network connection to 200 metres (656 feet)

The combina tion of Vera ci ty's OUTSOURCE e nha n ced PoE inje ctor a nd OUTREACH LITE Eth erne t ran ge exte nde r del ivers a s impl e a nd reliabl e

By con necting a s ingl e OUTREACH LITE a fter 100 metres of ca bli ng, the con nection from ne two rk swi tch port to wall outl et may exte nd up to

3. Combining OUTREACH LITE and OUTREACH MAX to deliver an unrestricted network connection beyond 200 metres

For exten ding data-onl y connecti ons , whe re no PoE is requ i red for the e nd de vice, a combina tion of OUTREACH MAX a n d OUTREACH LI TE ma y
