Veracity Camera Unit Longspan Lite Long Range Etherne

Unrivalled range

IP cameras can demand peak network bandwidth of several times their average data rate while transmitting high-activity or low-light scenes. LONGSPAN Lite has been designed to run IP data connections over 820 metres (2,690 feet) of normal network cable, supporting the aggregated 200Mbps required for full-duplex 100Base-TX Ethernet. The full speed Ethernet provided by LONGSPAN Lite ensures perfect image quality at critical moments, even at the longest cable ranges.

Extreme distances

For even more extreme distances, LONGSPAN can automatically drop to 10Base-T operation, supporting a range of over 1,000 metres (3,280ft). Alternatively, two or three pairs of LONGSPANs may be connected in series to double or triple the total transmission distance.

Non-POE Connection

LONGSPAN Lite is designed for long distance data connections without POE. A simple example would be a bridge connection between two distant network switches, or connecting devices which have local power, are battery-powered or are solar-powered.

Upgrade legacy UTP cable

LONGSPAN also supports 1-pair and 2-pair cable with extended range, so analogue cameras connected with baluns over UTP cable can be upgraded to IP with no need to replace the installed cabling infrastructure.

Designed for installers

LONGSPAN Lite self-configures for the best performance every time it is connected. No user setup, no DIP switch settings, and no system pairings are required.

LONGSPAN Lite and POE devices

All LONGSPAN devices are data compatible and interchangeable for data transmission. Therefore LONGSPAN Lite may be used for long-distance links to LONGSPAN devices with POE capability, including locally-powered LONGSPAN Camera, LONGSPAN Max Camera or LONGSPAN Max Camera Quad devices.

If power is available at the camera end in this way, it provides the maximum possible POE output to the POE powered device from each type of LONGSPAN Camera device. High density base installations At the base end, high density installations are supported with a neat, configurable rack mounting system which allows up to 24 LONGSPAN Lite devices to be installed in a 1U rack plate, with rear mounting tray for power supplies.

Non-POE LONGSPAN Lite and POE-capable LONGSPAN Base devices can be mixed in the rack as required.

Surge Protection

The latest LONGSPAN devices have enhanced in-built surge protection, but for long external cable runs the use of appropriate surge protection devices is strongly recommended to protect all devices on the links.
