Veracity OUTREACH PLUS (Superceded by OUTREACH MAX) User Manual
Installation guide

Where to use OUTREACH PLUS
TM
Cables in an Ethernet network are limited in length to 100 metres
(328 feet), however in some installations it is necessary to make a
network connection and deliver high-level Power over Ethernet
(PoE) over distances greater than this.
OUTREACH PLUS solves this problem: it allows high-power PoE,
including IEEE 802.3at (PoE Plus), to be extended with an Ethernet
data connection to up to 200 metres.
In the example above, a single OUTREACH PLUS allows a high-
power networked camera to be installed up to 200 metres (656
feet) away from a network switch. The OUTREACH is connected in-
line after the first 100 metres of cable have been laid, allowing a
further length of up to 100 metres to be installed up to the camera.
As the camera is a PoE Plus device, OUTSOURCE PLUS (VOR-OSP)
should always be used as the PoE source to ensure maximum
range. OUTREACH PLUS draws its own power from the same PoE
source as the powered device (which in this case is the OUTSOURCE
PLUS), so it requires no local electricity supply.

Installation
Quick installation sequence (for PoE Plus):
•
Install an OUTSOURCE PLUS where power is available, to inject
PoE Plus on the network cable (usually located close to a
network switch port)
•
Connect the POE IN connector to the OUTSOURCE PLUS
•
Connect the POE OUT connector to a PoE Plus powered device
(such as a PTZ network camera)
•
Wait a few seconds for all devices to be enabled
Important notes
•
OUTREACH PLUS will not power up (no LEDs) until the camera
or other PoE device has been connected.
•
The OUTSOURCE PLUS injector should always be used for
guaranteed performance in PoE Plus applications. It can be
used to upgrade an existing PoE Plus port if required.
•
If the powered device is disconnected, its cable will still have a
PoE voltage present on it, which can damage other equipment.
Always disconnect the PoE power source at the same time so
that power is removed from the OUTREACH PLUS.
•
For conventional PoE (802.3af) or non-PoE applications, the
standard model of OUTREACH (VOR-OR) should always be used.
OUTREACH enables Ethernet extension up to 1000 metres
(3280 feet).
Non-standard PoE
OUTREACH PLUS allows extension of many non-standard PoE
connections. These include:
•
"Always-on" or "dumb" PoE
•
Extended-power PoE based on 802.3af
•
PoE implementations using a non-802.3af signature
OUTREACH PLUS should not be used with "4-pair" PoE or with any
devices that draw greater than the specified maximum power or
current. Maximum range will depend on the PoE implementation
used.
OUTREACH PLUS should only be used with non-standard PoE
implementations that have been approved by Veracity. Please
consult the relevant application notes or enquire with your Veracity
representative before installation.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class A digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference when the
equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference
at his own expense.
