UNIVERSAL ETHERNET & POE EXTENDER

Power over Ethernet and network
range extender

Power over Ethernet (POE) greatly simplifies the deployment of IP cameras,
wireless access points & equipment more than 100m from network points

Instantly doubles cable range to 200 metres

Extends up to 800 metres with multiple units

No local power required

Full unrestricted network bandwidth

Universal 10/100 compatibility

Extends POE and POE Plus up to 60 watts

OUTREACH Max overcomes the
distance limits of POE networks

Simply connecting an OUTREACH Max in line with the network cable instantly
doubles the range from 100 metres to 200 metres (656 ft).

Cable lengths in Ethernet networks are

limited to 100 metres (328 f t), which is

a serious restriction for many security

installations.

OUTREACH Max enables installers to

overcome this network limitation. Simply

connecting an OUTREACH Max in line with

the network cable instantly doubles the

range from 100 to 200 metres (656 f t).

Simple to install

Fitting OUTREACH Max is simple because

no set-up is required. Its only connections

are two RJ45 network ports, both of

which immediately self-configure for 10

or 100BASE-T operation. POE power

is automatically transferred between

connected equipment. No local power

supply connection is needed, because

OUTREACH Max is powered by POE.

OUTREACH Max can easily be located

anywhere along the network cable,

as long as no single length of cable is

greater than 100 metres. For example,

to extend the network connection

between a POE switch and an IP camera

to 170 metres, an OUTREACH Max

could be installed 90 metres from the

switch. A further 80 metres of cable

would run from the OUTREACH Max to

the camera.

Max POE power

OUTREACH Max enables network range

extension to all POE devices that are

compatible with IEEE 802.3af, which

is the universal POE standard for low

power network devices such as fixed

IP cameras.

In addition, OUTREACH Max is also

compatible with high-power standards

such as POE Plus (IEEE 802.3at), and

even “4-pair” POE for devices of 60 watts

or more.

Note that OUTREACH Max is designed

for connection to POE-compatible

equipment only. If POE power is not

required, Veracity’s OUTREACH Lite

should be specified instead.

Go further

If POE and network extension beyond

200 metres (656 ft) is required, more

than one OUTREACH Max may be installed

in series. For example, a 300 metre

(984 ft) connection between a POE switch

and a 10 watt IP camera can be achieved

by fitting two OUTREACH Max units at

100 metre intervals along the cable. 

Or a 5 watt IP camera may be located

up to 800 metres away, using seven

OUTREACH Max units and Veracity’s

OUTSOURCE POE injector. 

The maximum extension distance depends

on how much power is required and

which POE source is used. See the tables

on the next page or read Vera ci t y’s

“Long Range Ethernet Extension” white

paper on our website.

No restrictions

Because OUTREACH Max simply

restores 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.
