Veracity VHW-HWPS-B HIGHWIRE Powerstar IP Over Coax +PoE BASE Unit
Veracity VHW-HWPS-B HIGHWIRE Powerstar Ethernet & PoE Over Coax - BASE Unit
HIGHWIRE POWERSTAR lets you install IP cameras easily, quickly, and reliably, without the disruption and expense of installing new cable.Support for your camera is assured, thanks to HIGHWIRE's unique full-rate Ethernet over Coax technology, which has been tested and trusted by thousands of IP installers worldwide over the past five years. And now with POE over Coax, you can deliver up to 25 watts of POE power to the camera as well, eliminating the complexity of installing local power supplies.
Simply add power
With no configuration or measurement required, installation of HIGHWIRE PowerStar is as straightforward as plugging it in. Two Units are used, The BASE unit receives POE power and transmits it down the coax. The CAMERA unit receives power from the coax and delivers up to full POE Plus power to the IP camera. If PoE is not available, or for an extra power boost at either end of the cable, just connect the optional power supply.

HIGHWIRE Powerstar uses existing coax cable to connect and power IP cameras without cabling costs. Easy to use and fast to install.
- Re-use existing coax cable for IP cameras
- Eliminate power cabling with POE-over-Coax
- Reliably power POE Plus cameras (25watts)
- Instantly check connection and power status with SafeView
- Fully automatic - no configuration required
- Simple fast, cost-effective installation
- Full 100Base-T Ethernet performance
A true plug-and-play solution for connecting and powering IP cameras over legacy coaxial cabling.
Our unique ultra low-power design and reliable power delivery enables long range extension even over the lowest-grade cable, such as the high-resistance copper-clad steel (CCS) types found in many legacy installations.
Reliability Assured:
HIGHWIRE Powerstar’s unique ultra low-power design and efficient power delivery enables long range extension even over the lowest-grade cable, such as the high-resistance copper-clad steel (CCS) types found in many legacy installations. This means that legacy coax upgrades can be planned with confidence, while a quick check of the SafeView power display reaffirms that the devices’ connection will continue to be reliable, whatever the cable used.
Reliable power delivery is also ensured at the source, where either dependable screw-terminal connections or a UPSbacked POE supply can be used. And for predictable network operation with no restrictions, HIGHWIRE delivers a full 200Mbit/s of bandwidth at 300m (1000 ft) of RG-59 or 500m (1600 ft) of RG-11 coax.
If a custom application demands a greater range, HIGHWIRE coax sections can be connected in series to deliver network connections up to 4km (2.5 miles), at full bandwidth and with no extra power wiring.
POE-over-Coax Range:
HIGHWIRE Powerstar delivers reliable power at long range, even over low-grade CCS cable, and Safeview confirms it automatically on installation. In most cases the full 25 watts required by the most powerful POE Plus cameras is available. The table below shows the range achievable by cable type, power source, and camera wattage.
Once HIGHWIRE Powerstar is connected SafeView will automatically indicate POE power
HIGHWIRE Powerstar adds the convenience of POE-over-Coax technology and gives you the reassurance of SafeView monitoring which displays the power available at the base unit without access the remote equipment.
Simply Add Power:
With no need to configure IP addresses, set DIP switches, or make awkward measurements and calculations, installing HIGHWIRE Powerstar is so straight forward, all you need to do is plug it in.
In the most simple implementation, shown below, the BASE unit receives POE power from a standard POE switch or injector and transmits it down the coax. The CAMERA unit receives this power and forwards it on to the IP camera. No external power cabling is required, and all detection and setup occurs automatically.
If POE is not available, or for an extra power boost at either end of the cable, just connect the optional power supply.
Installer Friendly:
HIGHWIRE Powerstarfeatures Veracity’s unique SafeViewTM display, to provide IP camera installers with an instant and very easy-to-understand confirmation of correct operation from either end of
the cable.
For example, the network link/activity and POE status of the IP camera can be viewed from the BASE unit, saving the time of accessing remote equipment.
Cable length and quality can be hard to predict or measure, especially in legacy upgrade scenarios, which is why SafeViewTM includes a reassuring bar - graph display of the POE power available, and a warning if the camera’s requirement approaches it.
True POE Plus detection means that all POE (IEEE 802.3af) and POE Plus (IEEE 802.3at) cameras are fully supported, and non-POE equipment can be safely connected as well.
Careful POE-over-coaxTM detection and management is also employed, to prevent accidental damage to legacy equipment and allow operation with other HIGHWIRE models.
HIGHWIRE Powerstar delivers Ethernet and POE over legacy coax, for maximum reliability with minimal wiring.
