Extend and distribute Ethernet and PoE

OUTREACH QUAD and OUTREACH QUAD LITE let you extend and expand your Ethernet network, with the flexibility and reliability of Power over Ethernet (PoE) power.

OUTREACH QUAD (ORQ) is a five-port Ethernet switch that can forward PoE to up to four IP cameras or similar devices. This is shown in the diagram below:

Installing OUTREACH QUAD doubles the range of the network, and allows extra PoE devices to be installed rapidly, with no local AC power required.

OUTREACH QUAD LITE (ORQ-LITE) is a five-port Ethernet switch that is powered by PoE. It provides four remote non-PoE Ethernet ports from a single PoE-enabled Ethernet connection.

Power budgeting (ORQ only)

Veracity's advanced PowerPromiseTM technology (patent pending) Iimits the number of PoE devices that can be enabled at the same time, in order to prevent any overload or undervoltage conditions in operation.

OUTREACH QUAD has a maximum power budget available, which it allocates according to the power class of any PoE devices connected. This is the power requested by each device, which may be higher than the power it actually requires for operation.

You can use the tables below to plan your installation. Key:

Class 1 or 2 PoE device (up to 7 watts)

Class 3 device (up to 15 watts)

The first table lists how many PoE devices can be connected to OUTREACH QUAD, according to which type of PoE power source is used:

For even longer-reach applications, a single OUTREACH PLUS may be used to extend the connection between the PoE source and OUTREACH QUAD. This reduces the number of devices that can be connected, however:

PoE Source Budget Number of PoE devices supported

PoE 0 watts

OUTSOURCE 7 watts

PoE Plus 7 watts

OUTSOURCE PLUS 22 watts

Notes:

1. Some PoE devices are Class 0 (unclassified). OUTREACH QUAD treats these as Class 2 devices, to avoid budget limit issues in common applications.

2. OUTREACH may be used to extend network connections from OUTREACH QUAD's PoE Out ports, but only if OUTSOURCE PLUS is used as the PoE source. OUTREACH is treated as a Class 3 device

3. All network ports can be always be used as regular (non-PoE) Ethernet connections, regardless of PoE budget availability

4. Operating OUTREACH QUAD with an exceeded budget is not recommended, as different combinations of devices may be enabled following a reset

(no PoE available)

Example OUTREACH QUAD applications

Example 1: Four PoE cameras from one switch port

The OUTSOUR CE PLUS i s loca ted nea r the n e twork s witch and del i ve rs e n ha n ce d PoE Pl us powe r to th e OUTREACH QUAD. Th e OUTREACH QUAD's po wer budget i s suffi cie nt to powe r u p to four co nven ti ona l I P ca mera s, which a re typi ca ll y cl as s 2 PoE d e vi ce s .

OUTREACH QUAD res tores th e Etherne t s i gna l a n d forwards PoE, a ll o wi ng th e ca meras to be loca te d up to 200 me tre s (660 fee t) from th e swi tch a nd powe r s ource

Example 2: Three PoE cameras at extended range
