The Power and Bandwidth your IP Camera Needs, at Exceptional Distances

LONGSPAN delivers unprecedented power and bandwidth over extreme lengths of regular Cat 5e or Cat 6 network cable, enabling a dependable connection to IP cameras and other remote network devices.

LONGSPAN is a point-to-point solution. It self-configures for the best performance. No set up or configuration is required. LONGSPAN even supports single-pair UTP cables, providing a fast upgrade solution for legacy analogue systems.

LONGSPAN offers unrestricted 100Base-TX at a phenomenal 820 metres range, with POE-equipped models delivering full-power 802.3at POE Plus at 600 metres, LONGSPAN assures reliability in the most challenging scenarios.

LONGSPAN is available in POE and data-only models. It is also available in high power Max single and Quad versions for the base and camera ends. See Documentation Tab for all datasheets including LONGSPAN Base 8, LONGSPAN Max and LONGSPAN Max Quad datasheets.

Unrivalled range, uncompromised bandwidth

IP cameras can demand peak network bandwidth of several times their average data rate while transmitting critical high-activity or low-light scenes. That's why LONGSPAN has been designed to support the full 200Mbps bandwidth required for reliable 100Base-TX Ethernet at up to 820 metres Cat 6 (or 690 metres Cat 5e).

For even more extreme distances, LONGSPAN can automatically negotiate a 10Base-T connection, supporting a range in excess of 1000 metres, over ten times the conventional limit for cabled Ethernet.

More power, much further

LONGSPAN models with POE can be powered from conventional IEEE 802.3af POE or 802.3at POE Plus and 802.3bt High Power POE switches and injectors, or Veracity's versatile power supply options can be specified for maximum range and power.

The full 25 watts required for POE Plus devices is available at up to 600 metres Cat 6 when a Veracity power supply is used, or 5 to 20 watts can be delivered from other POE sources depending on range and cable type. LONGSPAN Max High Power devices are also now available up to 90W.

Upgrade to IP, keep the UTP

Sites with legacy analogue cameras often use UTP baluns to send video over several hundred metres of twisted pair cable. LONGSPAN facilitates a simple upgrade path to IP for these installations.

LONGSPAN can automatically detect and adapt to single-pair cables, and deliver the same uncompromised 10 or 100Base-TX connection up to 820 metres, assuring predictable IP video quality each and every time.

High density, high reliability

LONGSPAN's unique, expandable mounting system permits up to 24 channels to be mounted in just 1U of rack space, with configurable rear-mount power supplies available if desired.

Smart diagnostic LEDs, including a SAFEVIEW® display on POE models, provide instant confirmation of cable-dependent power availability, and feedback of remote link status and other diagnostic information, for fast, confident installation.

Gigabit Ethernet is commonly used for Local Area Network (LAN) installations, although 100Base-TX is often used for single IP camera connections. As IP devices become more diverse, many applications demand network connections that exceed the maximum 100 metres (328 feet) distance limit for cabled Ethernet.

OUTREACH Lite G provides an instant solution to this restriction for gigabit Ethernet connections (a 100Base-TX only version of OUTREACH Lite is also available - see table on next page).

Simply connect an OUTREACH Lite G in the middle of a network cable run to double the available range to 200 metres (656 feet).

Simple installation
OUTREACH Lite G takes advantage of the universal 802.3af/at/bt POE standards, so it can draw its own power from the network connection. No local power is required, therefore OUTREACH Lite G can be located exactly where it is needed.

If your network switch has POE, simply connect OUTREACH Lite G up to 100 metres from the switch, and it will deliver another 100 metres reach over regular Cat5e 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 gigabit compatible OUTSOURCE (Diagram 2).

No set-up or network configuration is required, as OUTREACH Lite G 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 G may be installed to extend Ethernet and POE to OUTREACH Lite G For example, a 300 metre (984 feet) connection between a POE switch and another network device can be achieved by fitting an OUTREACH Max G at 100 metres along the cable, followed by 100m then an OUTREACH Lite G, and up to 100m to the gigabit network device.

For longer Ethernet runs, Veracity recommends LONGSPAN long distance point-to-point devices, which can achieve 100Base-TX connections with POE at up to 820m (2,690ft).

No restrictions
Because OUTREACH Max G and OUTREACH Lite G simply restore the network connection every 100 metres, the full bandwidth of gigabit 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.
