A version of our highly successful HIGHWIRE Powerstar device specifi cally designed for inside camera housings
A true plug-and-play solution for connecting and powering IP cameras over legacy coaxial cabling
Reliability Assured HIGHWIRE Powerstar's unique ultra low-power design and effi cient power delivery enables long range extension even over the lowest-grade cable, such as the high-resistance copperclad steel (CCS) types found in many legacy installations. This means that legacy coax upgrades can be planned with confi dence, while a quick check of the SAFEVIEW™ power display reaffi rms that the devices' connection will continue to be reliable, whatever the cable used. Reliable power delivery is also ensured at the source, where either dependable screw terminal connections or a UPS-backed POE supply can be used. For predictable network operation with no restrictions, HIGHWIRE delivers a full 200Mbit/s of bandwidth at 300m (1000 ft) of RG-59 or 500m (1600 ft) of RG-11 coax.
No Configuration
With no need to confi gure IP addresses, set DIP switches, or make awkward measurements and calculations, installing HIGHWIRE Powerstar is so straight forward, all you do is plug it in. In the most simple implementation, the BASE unit receives POE power from a standard POE switch or injector and transmits it down the coax. The CAMERA unit receives this power and forwards it on to the IP camera. No external power cabling is required, and all of the detection and setup occurs automatically
Designed For Camera Housings
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Backbox has connectors on fl exible fl ying leads for easier mounting inside camera housings, allowing the connectors to be moved into convenient positions. Note that Backbox is powered by POE only (no external DC power option).
