Outdoor Ethernet and PoE Extender

OUTREACH Max XT lets you locate your external IP camera or wireless transmitter right where you want it, without being restricted by the 328 foot limit for Ethernet cables.

Based on Veracity's established OUTREACH Max extender, compatibility with regular 802.3af POE and 802.3at POE plus is assured, with no configuration or setup required.

Its rugged and streamlined enclosure features IP66-rated connector covers that assemble easily around conventionally terminated Cat 5e and Cat 6 cables.

Guaranteed operation over an extended temperature range and versatile mounting options mean OUTREACH Max XT is suited to a wide range of installation scenarios.

And inter-building network links or extension to non-POE equipment is also supported, with Veracity's OUTREACH Lite XT model.

APPLICATIONS

IP Video and Security

OUTREACH Max XT Ethernet extenders are ideal for IP video applications, as they eliminate the one disadvantage that network cameras have compared to older analogue cameras: the limited cable length.  As POE is becoming universal in digital video installations, Cat 5 cable extension is as simple as connecting an OUTREACH Max XT wherever it is needed.

OUTREACH Max XT can also be used to upgrade legacy twisted-pair video installations to IP with POE, where the Cat 5 infrastructure for a network is already in place, but run lengths exceed the 100 meter limit for Ethernet.

PTZ cameras, heater/blower units and door interlocks are all examples of products that are adopting the extended-power POE Plus  standard that OUTREACH Max XT also supports.

Wireless networking

Like IP cameras, wireless access points (WAPs) are ideally suited to POE as they must be positioned optimally in locations that are often inaccessible or remote.  Using OUTREACH Max XT, a WAP - or Bluetooth access point or RFID reader - can be located just where it is needed for optimal coverage. 

High-power radios and 802.11n APs can take advantage of the POE Plus power which OUTREACH Max XTsupports.

Extending non-POE networks

OUTREACH Max XT can be used in combination with OUTREACH Lite XT to extend networks without POE from 300 meters to over 2 kilometers.
