Veracity HIGHWIRE 1-Port Ethernet over Coax PowerStar Base Unit

The base side HIGHWIRE 1-Port Ethernet over Coax Powerstar from Veracity works with the HIGHWIRE Powerstar camera side (available separately) to deliver PoE to an IP camera over RG59 or RG11 cable. The base unit receives PoE power from a standard PoE switch or injector and transmits it down coaxial cable. All detection and setup occurs automatically. The unit is powered by an external 57 VDC power supply (available separately).

This unit features SafeView to provide a quick confirmation of correct operation from either end of the cable. The low-power design and efficient power delivery enables long range extension, even over low-grade cable, such as high-resistance copper-clad steel (CCS) types. Reliable power delivery is also ensured at the source, where either screw-terminal connections or a UPS-backed PoE supply can be used. It delivers a full 200 Mb/s of bandwidth at up to 1000' of RG59 or 1600' of RG11 coax.

Veracity HIGHWIRE Powerstar Reviews

Well Built, Works Great!

This worked right off the bat for us and some infrastructure where we could not pull new CAT cable but had pre-existing Coax. It's also a great bonus that they serve as PoE injectors if needed. Fantastic product. Don't forget that you need the other end, the camera side aka the receiver.

Made Installation Easy as Pie!

When using this to power a Ubiquiti Wifi radio up on a tower, we only had to run the one RG6 coax, plug it in and done! Works absolutely great. I, especially, like the indicator on the other end to tell that everything is ok.

Does the unit come with a power supply already or is that separate?
Asked by: GERALD
The Veracity HIGHWIRE Powerstar QUAD does not come with a power supply. A 57V power supply is separate.

I assume that this device can be used in conjunction with the Powerstar Quad? Can the veracity highwire vhw-hw be used instead with the Quad and have a power supply on the Quad?
Asked by: Carl
Yes you can since the Quad accepts PoE and non PoE IP cameras.

Up to 1600' using RG11 cable at full rate. Does this mean a maximum distance is capable of 1600' on RG-11 or means a further distance is achievable but signal speed would decrease and not run at 200 mbps?
Asked by: Andrew
The details about the distance is due to the Bandwidth limitation.

question

How does IP addressing work? Does the unit pull 4 IPs from my network or reuse 1? I am trying to determine if I will end up with a quad-display inside one of the camera zone's on my NVR.
Asked by: Anonymous
All this unit does is convert the Ethernet signal to work over coax, your router will still provide each device with an IP address. You will still need the VHW-HWPS-C​ to make this work properly.
