Data Sheet

The diagram shows POE power delivery
over coax from the Base end. The Powerstar
Base unit may be powered by a POE or POE
Plus switch, or for maximum power delivery
at 300m (1000 ft) of RG-59 or 500m
(1600 ft) of RG-11 coax. For full
information on POE-over-Coax™
distances achievable, please refer
to the Range Table in the HIGHWIRE
Powerstar datasheet or on the Veracity
website. For POE power budget and
power supply options, see the POE
Power Budget Table opposite.
HIGHWIRE Powerstar DUO
The DUO variant of HIGHWIRE is
designed for the camera end of the
coax and, with an integrated two-port
POE switch, enables connection of two
IP cameras over a single coax. With
no need to configure IP addresses,
set DIP switches, or make awkward
Ethernet Over Coax
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo’s unique
ultra low-power design and efficient
power delivery enables long range
Ethernet over coax. It works even over
the lowest grade cable, such as the high-
resistance, copper-clad steel (CCS)
types found in many legacy installations.
This means that legacy coax upgrades
can be planned with confidence, while
a quick check of the SafeView™ power
level display reaffirms that the device
connections will continue to be reliable,
whatever the cable used.
For predictable network operation with
no restrictions, HIGHWIRE technology
delivers a full 200Mbit/s of bandwidth
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo
incorporates a two-port POE
switch for IP cameras
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo makes the most of your legacy
cabling and multiplies its capability by connecting two
IP cameras or other network devices
measurements and calculations,
installing HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo is
simple. The Base end of the coax is
driven by single-channel, 4-channel or
8-channel HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base
unit. The DUO unit can be powered
either by POE over coax, delivering a
maximum total POE power budget
of 25 watts, or by one of the optional
local PSUs, delivering 40 or 78 watts.
HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo features
Veracity’s unique SafeView™ display,
to provide IP camera installers with an
instant and very easy-to-understand
confirmation of correct operation from
either end of the cable.
