The base side HIGHWIRE 8-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.
