Elara Veracity OUTREACH Lite

Overview

Range/Series Overview

IMPORTANT: This Range/Series overview section describes the range of which this product belongs. Features of different versions might be mentioned and may not apply to the specific product on this page. Please view Specs for specification of product.OUTREACH Lite provides a simple way to double the length of a 10/100 Ethernet connection. No configuration is required, it does not require a local power supply, and it does not restrict the throughput of the network link at all. Compact and wall-mountable, OUTREACH Lite takes its power from the network cable using the universal 802.3af Power over Ethernet (POE) standard. Network connections can easily be upgraded to POE compatibility if it is not already available using a simple injector.

Features Summary

• Ethernet Extender for non-POE connectionsOUTREACH Lite provides a simple way to double the length of a 10/100 Ethernet connection. No configuration is required, it does not require a local power supply, and it does not restrict the throughput of the network link at all. Compact and wall-mountable, OUTREACH Lite takes its power from the network cable using the universal 802.3af Power over Ethernet (POE) standard. Network connections can easily be upgraded to POE compatibility if it is not already available using a simple injector.
• Rapid installationExtending network cable runs from an existing POE switch port is as simple as connecting OUTREACH Lite in-line with the cable. Cable runs of up to 200 meters (656 feet) in length are possible, by using a single OUTREACH Lite to connect two individual sections of up to 100 meters (328 feet) each. Veracity's OUTREACH Lite Ethernet extender requires no external power supply. It simply has two network ports which configure automatically on connection for network speed, duplex and crossover. If no POE is available on the network, Veracity's OUTSOURCE injector can easily be added at either end of the connection. No other equipment is required by end devices, as all Cat5/Cat6 links are regular Ethernet connections.
• Full-bandwidth Ethernet extenderBecause OUTREACH Lite repeats the Ethernet signal before it can degrade, the network can be extended without any restriction on its data capacity. Thus the 200Mbit/s bandwidth of regular full-duplex 100BASE-T Ethernet is maintained, for maximum reliability and predictability of operation.
• Go furtherOUTREACH Lite can be used in combination with Veracity's OUTREACH Max POE-forwarding Ethernet extender, to create connections of 300 meters, 400 meters or even further. For example, to extend a 100BASE-T connection to 400 meters (1312 feet) without any bandwidth restriction, two OUTREACH Max units would be located at 100 meter intervals, followed by an OUTREACH Lite. POE from the switch or injector would be forwarded by the OUTREACH Maxes as far as the OUTREACH Lite, so no power connections would be required along the connection. This technique can be used to create unrestricted Cat5 network connections of greater than 2km (1.25 miles) in length if required.
