TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION
HIGHWIRE Powerstar products are designed to enable the
transmission of standard Ethernet and POE (Power over
Ethernet) over coaxial cables originally installed for analogue
video transmission for CCTV.
These devices can be classed as adaptors or media converters.
They are typically used where analogue CCTV cameras are being
replaced with modern digital network cameras, known as “IP
cameras”. This permits IP cameras to be installed without having
to replace cable and re-wire buildings.
In most CCTV installations, multiple coaxial cable runs will come
together at a central point (e.g. equipment room or control room).
The Base units are located here. Whilst multiple single-channel
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base units can be used for multiple channels,
it is more cost-effective to provide integrated multi-channel units with
an internal Ethernet switch, allowing more than one coaxial cable to
be connected into the network system per HIGHWIRE device.
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 4 provides four coaxial cable
connections. The Base unit has a single standard RJ45 Gigabit
Ethernet port to allow connection to a main network switch.
An SFP socket is also provided to allow a fibre network connection
if required by the application.
All HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 4 units must be powered through a
DC power connector which is designed for a maximum of 6A at
57V DC.
Either the 1500mA or 800mA Veracity 57V DC Power Supplies are
recommended.
