OUTREACH Max XT overcomes the
distance limits of standard Ethernet cable
Simply connecting an OUTREACH Max XT in line with the network cable
instantly boosts the Ethernet range from 100 to 200 metres.
Cable lengths in Ethernet networks are
limited to 100 metres (328 f t), which is
a serious restriction in many inst allations.
OUTREACH Max XT enables installers to
overcome this network limitation. Simply
connecting an OUTREACH Max XT in line
with the network cable instantly boosts
the Ethernet range from 100 to 200
metres (656 ft).
Simple to install
Fitting OUTREACH Max XT 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.
And because OUTREACH Max XT is also
POE-powered, no local power supply
connection is needed.
OUTREACH Max XT can 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 XT
to the camera.
Max POE power
OUTREACH Max XT 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 XT 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 : OUTREACH Max XT is designed
for connection to POE compatible
equipment only. If POE power is not
required, Veracity’s OUTREACH Lite
XT should be specified instead.
Go further
If POE and network extension beyond
200 metres (656 ft) is required, more
than one OUTREACH Max XT 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 XT 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 XT units and Veracity’s
OUTSOURCE POE injector. However, for
long extensions, Veracity’s LONGSPAN
device may be a more suitable choice.
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 Veracity’s “Long
Range Ethernet Extension” white paper
on our website.
External Application
OUTREACH Max XT is specifically
design ed for external installation with
guaranteed operation over an extended
temperature range. Its rugged and
streamlined enclosure features IP66-
rated connector covers that assemble
around conventionally terminated Cat 5e
and Cat 6 cables.
