General InformationFast Ethernet and POE power over coax video cable HIGHWIRE POWERSTAR lets you install IP cameras easily, quickly, and reliably, without the disruption and expense of installing new cable. Support for your camera is assured, thanks to HIGHWIRE's unique full-rate Ethernet over Coax technology, which has been tested and trusted by thousands of IP installers worldwide since it launched as an industry first in June 2006. And now with POE over Coax, you can deliver up to 25 watts of POE power to the camera as well, eliminating the complexity of installing local power supplies. Simply add power With no configuration or measurement required, installation of HIGHWIRE PowerStar is as straightforward as plugging it in. Two models are used, as shown in the diagram below. The BASE unit receives POE power and transmits it down the coax. The CAMERA unit receives power from the coax and delivers up to full POE Plus power to the IP camera. If PoE is not available, or for an extra power boost at either end of the cable, just connect the optional power supply. Installer friendly For fast installation and guaranteed performance, HIGHWIRE POWERSTAR features Veracity's unique SafeView display. SafeView provides an instant and easy-to-understand confirmation of network and power status right across the cable, with no need to access remote equipment to check connections. Meanwhile, safe and compliant detection of POE equipment and POE over coax compatibility ensures correct operation, with no risk of damage to non-POE or legacy analog equipment. Reliability assured Because the length and quality of installed coaxial cable is hard to predict or measure, it is important to have confidence that the cable you are upgrading has the capacity to deliver continuous, reliable power to the new IP camera. However, thanks to HIGHWIRE POWERSTAR's ultra low-power design and efficient power delivery, even the lowest grade of cheap RG-59 will support a 10 watt IP camera at any range likely to be found in a legacy installation. And once connected, the SafeView power display instantly reaffirms that the actual power available to the camera is sufficient. For predictable network performance, HIGHWIRE's proven technology delivers full network bandwidth, right to the limits of range. And secure screw-terminal DC connections, or the option of using a UPS-backed POE source, provide the last link in assuring continuous power delivery.Physical CharacteristicsForm Factor: Rack-mountableForm Factor: Rail MountableForm Factor: Wall MountableHeight: 0.9"Width: 2.1"Weight (Approximate): 3.53 ozMiscellaneousApplication/Usage: IP CameraCompatibility: Veracity HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base SideEnvironmentally Friendly: YesEnvironmental Certification: RoHS
The VERACITY VHW-HWPS-C POWERSTAR ETHERNET POE OVER CAMERA UNIT facilitates the deployment of IP cameras by leveraging existing coaxial cabling for both Fast Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE). This device is designed for IT professionals and integrators seeking to upgrade surveillance systems from analog to IP without the need for new cable infrastructure. It addresses the challenge of installing IP cameras in locations where running new Ethernet cable is impractical or cost-prohibitive. The unit receives power and data from the coax cable, delivering up to full PoE Plus power to the connected IP camera, thereby eliminating the requirement for local power supplies at the camera end. Its SafeView display provides immediate confirmation of network and power status, streamlining installation and ensuring reliable operation across various coaxial cable types, including lower-grade RG-59.
The VHW-HWPS-C unit transmits Fast Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) over existing coaxial video cable to an IP camera. It is designed to simplify the upgrade from analog to IP surveillance systems by reusing installed infrastructure.
The product data specifies the VHW-HWPS-C as the CAMERA unit, which receives power and data from the coax and delivers it to the IP camera. An optional power supply can be connected for an extra power boost if PoE is not available or insufficient.
The VHW-HWPS-C unit offers multiple mounting options, including rack-mountable, rail mountable, and wall-mountable configurations, providing flexibility for various installation environments.
Yes, the VHW-HWPS-C is specifically listed as compatible with the Veracity HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base Side unit, forming a complete system for Ethernet and PoE over coax.
