Connecttwo IP cameras with HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo over an existing coaxcable

HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo uses existing coax cabling as a reliable Ethernet network connection and is very easy to use and fast to install.

| Re-uses existing coax cable for 2 IP cameras or devices
| Integrated 2-port POE switch (POE Plus with local power option)
Eliminates separate power cabling with POE-over-Coax™
| Compatible with all HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base units (1, 4 & 8ch)
| Instantly check connection and power level with SafeView™
| Completely automatic connection, no configuration required
| 100BaseTX performance over 300m of RG59 (500m on RG11)

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

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 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 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.

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

over coax, by Veracity's 57V DC PSU. See POE Power Budget Table for POE power outputs.

HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo allows one analogue camera to be replaced with two IP cameras

POE over Coax or Local Power

In the simplest implementation (shown below left) the BASE unit receives power from a standard POE switch or Veracity's 57V DC PSU and transmits POE over the coax. The DUO unit receives this power and delivers up to 25 watts shared between two IP cameras. No external power cabling is required, and all detection and setup occurs automatically. For higher POE power budgets, an optional Veracity 57V DC PSU may be used to power the DUO locally at the camera end (shown below right) delivering 40 watts or 78 watts depending on PSU model. See POE budget table for details.
