UNIVERSAL ETHERNET EXTENDER

Universal Ethernet network
range extender

An easy way to double your network cable range without having to install
power cables to an intermediate switch

Instantly doubles cable range to 200 metres

No local power required

Full unrestricted network bandwidth

Universal 10/100 compatibility

POE powered device



OUTREACH Lite overcomes the
distance limits of Ethernet, instantly

Simply connect an OUTREACH Lite in line with the network cable and instantly
double its range to 200 metres (656 ft). No set-up or network configuration
is required.

Ethernet is the ubiquitous technology for

Local Area Network (LAN) installation,

and the majority of networks in place

use the 100BASE-T network standards.

However, many security installations

demand network connections that exceed

the maximum 100 metres (328 feet)

distance limit for wired Ethernet.

OUTREACH Lite provides an instant

solution to this restriction. Simply

connect an OUTREACH Lite in line with

the network cable - adding a Power

over Ethernet (POE) injector if required

- to double the available range to 200

metres (656 feet).

Simple installation

OUTREACH Lite takes advantage of

the universal 802.3af POE standard,

so it can draw its own power from the

network connection.  No local power is

required, so OUTREACH Lite can be

located exactly where it is needed.

If your network switch has POE, simply

connect OUTREACH Lite up to 100

metres from the switch, and it will

deliver another 100 metres’ reach

over regular Cat 5e or similar cable

(Diagram 1). If POE is not available, the

link can easily be upgraded using a low-

cost POE injector such as Veracity’s

OUTSOURCE (Diagram 2).

No set-up or network configuration is

required, as OUTREACH Lite automatically

sets up network speed, duplex and

crossover on connection, and does not

require an IP or MAC address.

Go further

If POE and network extension beyond

200 metres (656 feet) is required,

Veracity’s OUTREACH Max may be

installed to extend Ethernet and POE to

OUTREACH Lite.

For example, a 400 metre (1312 feet)

connection between a POE switch and

another network device can be achieved

by fitting two OUTREACH Maxes at 100

metre intervals along the cable, followed

by an OUTREACH Lite. 

Unrestricted network connections up to

2.2 kilometres (1.4 miles) are possible,

depending on configuration and POE

source.  See the OUTREACH MAX XT

datasheet, or read Veracity’s “Long

Range Ethernet Extension” white paper.

No restrictions

Because OUTREACH Max and

OUTREACH Lite simply restore the

network connection every 100 metres,

the full (200Mbit/s) bandwidth of

100BASE-T Ethernet is maintained

across the entire link.  This maximises

performance and transparency, with

no risk of a reduced or unpredictable

bandwidth, even at distances of several

hundred metres or more.
