Features:
- LONGSPAN™ enhanced with 90W POE capability (802.3bt)
- Long range point-to-point Ethernet over Cat5e or Cat6 cable
- Unrestricted 100Base-TX with POE at over 820 metres
- Can deliver 60W at 200 metres, 40W at 350 metres
- Ruggedised for high performance over a wide temperature range
- Smart POE power and diagnostic display for reliable installation
- Fully automatic, simple to install and maintenance-free
LONGSPAN Max™ adds 90W POE power capability to the extremely successful LONGSPAN™ range of long-distance network extenders for Cat5e or Cat6 cable. LONGSPAN Max delivers unrestricted 100Base-TX with 802.3bt high power POE at distances far beyond the normal Ethernet limits for problem-free external PTZ IP camera installation.
LONGSPAN Max for Maximum Power
LONGSPAN Max™ devices are high power versions of the successful LONGSPAN™ long-distance Ethernet transmission extenders. They support the 802.3bt standard which provides for the highest power permissible on standard network cable (90W). See the POE Reference Table opposite for classes and power levels. Max versions deliver POE for even the most power-hungry external IP PTZ cameras at considerable distances.
Unrivalled Range
LONGSPAN products are designed to connect IP cameras at ranges of up to 820 metres (with Cat6 cable), supporting the 200Mbps aggregate bandwidth required for full-duplex 100Base-TX Ethernet. LONGSPAN devices therefore ensure perfect image quality at all times, even at the longest cable ranges. See the LONGSPAN Max Data Range Table for details.
Base and Camera Pairs
A LONGSPAN Max Base device is used with a LONGSPAN Max Camera device to achieve the LONGSPAN link with higher POE power (see Base and Camera diagram below for details).
LONGSPAN or LONGSPAN Max?
Whilst LONGSPAN Max Base and Camera pairs achieve the same data range as a standard LONGSPAN pair (820m), higher power POE delivery is only possible to just over 600 metres. Therefore lower-cost standard LONGSPAN pairs are recommended for ranges longer than 600 metres or for POE delivery of 25W or less.
Local Power Option
As shown in the diagram above, LONGSPAN Max Camera devices can be locally-powered to deliver the maximum POE (71W) to the IP camera or other POE-powered device, irrespective of LONGSPAN link distance. In this configuration, the LONGSPAN link could be 820m and LONGSPAN Max Base would be replaced with LONGSPAN Lite as POE transmission over the link is not required. A Quad version of LONGSPAN Max is also for the camera end with four 802.3bt compatible POE ports, allowing the connection of up to four IP devices over one LONGSPAN link.
Designed for Installers
LONGSPAN devices self-configure for the best performance every time they are connected. No user setup, no DIP switch settings, and no system pairings are required. Veracity's SAFEVIEW® smart LED display provides instant, visible confirmation of link status, power availability, and useful diagnostic information, from each device at either end of the cable. High-density device unit installations are supported, with up to 24 single Base devices or four LONGSPAN Base 8 devices mounted in a 1U rack space including options for rear-mounted Veracity POE power supplies.
Surge Protection
LONGSPAN devices have built-in surge potection, but for long external runs additional surge protection is strongly recommended.
