Veracity VHW-HW HIGHWIRE IP over Coax Converter
Veracity VHW-HW HIGHWIRE Ethernet IP over Coax Converter (Single Unit)
The Veracity HIGHWIRE VHW-HW is a single Ethernet over co-axial video device. It has a standard RJ-45 network connector one side and a co-axial BNC connector on the other. They are used in pairs and installing them is extremely simple. One HIGHWIRE unit is connected to each end of the co-axial cable with the BNC connectors thus providing a straight RJ45 to RJ45 network connection from end to end across the existing cabling. This HIGHWIRE to HIGHWIRE connection instantly operates as a full-duplex 100BaseT Ethernet connection and is completely transparent to any network device. HIGHWIRE has no MAC address or IP address and requires no set-up whatsoever.
HIGHWIRE turns any analogue video cable into a high-speed network connection. This allows the replacement of analogue cameras with IP cameras without installation of any new cabling, which can save some 30-40% of the system cost.
Veracity HIGHWIRE VHW-HW Key features:
- Uses legacy analogue video cabling cutting installation costs
- High transfer speed allows megapixel cameras or multiple IP cameras to run across a single co-ax cable connection
- Fully transparent. Will fully support any network device. Highwire is non-detectable on the network
- Simple to install. The Highwire VHW-HW requires no network configuration, has no IP or MAC address
- Can operate at a maximum length of 300m, full speed of 200mbps at lengths of 200m or less
- Auto adapts. Where cable length, quality or interference prevents full rate operation (200Mbps) the device will auto-adapt lowering the total bandwidth as necessary
- Compact and low power. Designed to fit inside camera housings and use the camera power supply (please have an electrician check supply voltages before using camera supply to power Highwire unit)
Applications: IP Video, CCTV, Networking, Transportation, Elevators & mechanisms, Basically anywhere there's Coax!

Signal Converter:
HIGHWIRE turns any existing analogue video cable (coax) into a high-speed Ethernet connection. This allows a networked IP camera to replace an analogue CCTV camera, without installation of any new cabling. Thus the investment in the original cabling (usually around 30% of any system installation cost) can be retained and exploited for new-generation networked IP camera systems. HIGHWIRE is especially suited to mega-pixel IP camera applications or even multiple IP cameras as it supports high data rates.
Simple Installation:
HIGHWIREs are used in pairs and installing them is extremely simple. One HIGHWIRE unit is connected to each end of the co-axial cable with the BNC connectors, thus providing a straight RJ45 to RJ45 network connection from end to end across the existing cabling. A HIGHWIRE to HIGHWIRE connection instantly operates as a full-duplex 100Base-T Ethernet connection and is completely transparent to any network device. HIGHWIRE has no MAC address orIP address and requires no set-up at all.
A pair of HIGHWIRE adaptors deliver full-bandwidth Ethernet over existing coaxial cabling without requiring any settings or other configuration.
Application:
In the application shown above, a high-resolution mega-pixel IP camera replaces a standard analogue CCTV video camera. The IP camera’s standard Ethernet TCP/IP connection is linked to a HIGHWIRE device with a short CAT 5 patch cable (straight through or cross-over). Both the camera and the HIGHWIRE are powered from the same power supply, and both may be fitted inside a standard external camera housing. The HIGHWIRE link runs across the existing installed 75ohm co-axial video cable, and the rest of the network is connected at the other end (normally the control or equipment room). One, several, or many such links may feed into the network to an NVR. As the network link is full speed and fully - transparent, the IP camera appears on the network as a completely normal IP connection. The NVR will “see” the IP address of the IP camera as if it were a normal direct Cat 5 connection.
Universal Application:
Although designed for IP video, the HIGHWIRE connection is a universal 100Base-T network link that can be used for any application. Any legacy coaxial cable can be used, or new coaxial cable can be installed, to deliver an extended network connection that is a rugged and low-cost alternative to fibre. Although designed for 75ohm cable, HIGHWIRE will operate over 50ohm cable with full performance with only a slight reduction in the maximum distance attainable.
Applications:
HIGHWIRE Quad can be used to expand the numbers of cameras in an installation without running new cables. Whilst most commonly used with IP security cameras, HIGHWIRE Quad can be used for any networking application such as VOIP, IP access control, wireless access points, or any combination of these.
HIGHWIRE Quad:
HIGHWIRE QUAD integrates Veracity'sHIGHWIRE Ethernet over coaxial cable technology with a four-port POE switch. This means that up to four IP cameras can be installed in place of an old analogue video camera. Legacy coax cabling can be used as the network connection, and an existing 12V DC or 24V AC supply can be converted into universal Power over Ethernet (POE) for the new IP cameras.
A separate HIGHWIRE Quad datasheet is available for further information.
HIGHWIRE Wall Mount Bracket:
This simple metal bracket provides a fast, efficient method of fixing HIGHWIRE units to walls or other flat surfaces, including mounting inside enclosures.
HIGHWIRE Rack:
The HIGHWIRE accessory range includes a 19” 1U adaptor plate which allows 8 standard HIGHWIRE units to be neatly rack-mounted in a control room. This is especially useful when installing many HIGHWIRE channels together.
HIGHWIRE DIN-Rail Mount:
The HIGHWIRE wall mount bracket is also available with a DIN rail mount clip for fitting to standard DIN rails.
Power Supplies:
A plug-top style 12V DC PSU is available for powering a single HIGHWIRE, although typically existing power supplies are re-used for this. A larger in-line PSU is available for powering up to 8 HIGHWIREs in a 1U rack mount and is supplied complete with wiring harness to connect all 8 units to the PSU.
A single HIGHWIRE combined with a HIGHWIRE Quad provides Ethernet connectivity for up to four POE IP devices (typically IP cameras) over existing coaxial cabling.
