Overview of the Veracity Longspan (base unit)
The Veracity Longspan transmits power and data to camera equipment at distances of up to 1km. The unit accepts IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at Power over Ethernet, as well as a Veracity 57V DC power supply (VPSU-57V-800, sold separately), powering devices through the network connection, so that no local power source is required. The connection requires no repeaters with breaks in the cable which improves reliability on long ethernet cable runs.
The built-in SafeView LEDs show the power available for connected devices at-a-glance with no configuration required. Up to 24 Longspan units can be rack-mounted when used with the Veracity 1U kit (VLS-1U, sold separately), providing easy organisation for large-scale systems.
Please note: Two versions of this device are available: This is the base model (switch side) which transmits the network signal. A client model (camera side) which connects to the remote device is also available. They can be purchased together as a Longspan bundle. Additionally, a power supply is not included. To add a Power over Ethernet midspan, please select one from the options above.
