Veracity VLS-1N-L LONGSPAN Lite Ethernet Extender

The Veracity VLS-1N-L LONGSPAN Lite is an Ethernet Data Extender (Single Unit). Two units required per link.

Unrivalled range and power

IP cameras can demand peak network bandwidth of several times their average data rate while transmitting high-activity or low-light scenes. LONGSPAN has been designed to run IP cameras over 800 meters (2600 feet) of normal network cable, supporting the full 200Mbps required for 100Base-T Ethernet. The full-speed Ethernet provided by LONGSPAN ensures perfect image quality at critical moments, even at the longest cable ranges. For even more extreme distances, LONGSPAN can automatically drop to 10Base-T operation, supporting a range of over 1000 metres (3280ft).

PoE-equipped models allow all of the power for the link to be sourced from a single PoE switch or power supply, for simple installation and reliable UPS-backed power delivery. LONGSPAN's unique power transmission technology can deliver the full 25.5 Watts required for PoE Plus equipment at up to 600 meters (2000 feet), or standard 15 Watt PoE up to 820 meters (2600 feet).

Upgrade legacy UTP cable

LONGSPAN also supports 1-pair and 2-pair cable with extended range, so analogue cameras in UTP installations can now be upgraded to IP with no need to replace the installed cabling infrastructure. Veracity LONGSPAN's unique technology automatically adapts to the number of pairs available, and delivers the same unrestricted 10 or 100Mbps full-duplex network connection, assuring predictable IP video quality each and every time.

Designed for installers

LONGSPAN self-configures for the best performance every time it is connected. No user setup, no DIP switch settings, and no system pairings are required. On PoE models, a smart LED display utilizing Veracity's SafeView technology provides instant confirmation of link status, power availability, and diagnostic information, from either end of the cable. High-density installations are supported with a neat configurable rack mounting system, which allows up to 24 channels to be installed in just 1U of rack space.

For network-only applications, the same non-PoE model is fitted at each end of the link. For network and power delivery, Base and Camera PoE units are used together. A PoE switch or separate PoE injector may be used as the Base power source. Maximum power and range is achieved with the optional 57V Veracity PSU, enabling the LONGSPAN Base unit to become the PoE injector for the link.
