Veracity OUTREACH Max User manual

Multiply your PoE network range
OUTREACH MAX and OUTREACH LITE let you instantly extend your
Ethernet network installation beyond its 1 metre (328 foot) limit.
Because they use Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, OUTREACH MAX
and OUTREACH LITE can be easily fitted wherever network extension is
required, with no need for a local power source.
OUTREACH MAX extends Cat5e, Cat 6 or similar network connections to
devices that use PoE power, such as IP cameras and wireless access points:
OUTREACH LITE extends network connections to devices that do not use
PoE, such as PCs and routers:
As OUTREACH MAX and OUTREACH LITE restore the Ethernet connection
every 1 metres (328 feet), full-capacity 1 BASE-TX or 1 BASE-T is
maintained across the entire link, with no bandwidth restrictions.

Note that the LEDs on OUTREACH MAX will not light until the PoE source
and powered device are both connected
If the powered device is disconnected, then the OUTREACH MAX should
also be disconnected from the PoE power source. OUTREACH MAX should
not be connected to equipment that is not PoE compatible.
Maximum extension distance
By installing an OUTREACH MAX for every extra 1 metres of cable, PoE
and Ethernet can be extended for considerable distances, with no
bandwith restrictions or any requirement for electrical power installation.
The maximum distance from the PoE source to the IP camera or other
device depends on how much PoE power the device requires:

1. Non-PoE applications; using an OUTREACH LITE at the end of the chain
2. Not applicable; these power levels are for PoE Plus source and devices only
3. Extension is not possible at this power level with this power source
These figures are strict upper limits for installations using regular 24AWG
Cat 5e cable. Because actual power use and installed cable distances can
vary, using OUTSOURCE or OUTSOURCE PLUS is always recommended.
OUTSOURCE is an enhanced PoE injector and is fully compliant with the
IEEE 8 2.3af standard. OUTSOURCE PLUS is an enhanced PoE Plus injector
and is fully compliant with the IEEE 8 2.3at standard.
The distance limits for extension at other peak power levels can be checked
using the graph below:
Non-standard PoE
OUTREACH MAX can be used with many implementations of PoE that are
not IEEE 8 2.3af or 8 2.3at compliant. This includes high-current PoE, or
PoE which is “always-on” or uses a proprietary signature.
Four-pair PoE, in which current is carried on both spare and data pairs to
double available power, is also supported. See application notes.

EC Declaration of Conformity
In accordance with EN 45 14:1998
We, Veracity UK Ltd. of 6 Barns Street, Ayr, KA7 1XA
declare that the equipment “OUTREACH” Ethernet repeaters
model number VOR-ORM / VOR-ORL
conform to the essential protection requirements of the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC as amended.
The following EMC standards have been applied:
BS EN 55 22:1998 Emissions (Class B Radiated)
BS EN 55 24:1998 Immunity (BS EN 61 -4-2:1995 Immunity to ESD,
BS EN 61 -4-3:2 Immunity to Radiated RF Fields (3V/m))
I hereby declare that the equipment named above has been been found to comply with the relevant sections
of the above referenced specifications. The unit complies with all essential requirements of the EMC Directive.

Issued 9th October 2 9 at Ayr
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

Example OUTREACH MA / OUTREACH LITE applications
1. Delivering 20 watts to a PoE Plus device over 300 metres (984 feet)
More tha n one OUTREACH Max ma y be connected i n s eri es to e xtend PoE a nd Ethernet for s evera l hundred metres . In the example a bove,
Veracity's OUTSOURCE PLUS i njector i s used to a dd enhanced PoE Plus ca pa bi l i ty to a regul a r unpowered network port.
Two OUTREACH MAX units are l oca ted 1 metres a nd 2 metres from the s wi tch, a l l owi ng a PoE Plus wi rel ess a cces s point to be i ns ta l l ed
up to 3 metres from the power s ource.
2. Extending an unpowered network connection to 200 metres (656 feet)
The combina ti on of Veraci ty's OUTSOURCE e nhanced PoE i njector a nd OUTREACH LITE Ethernet range extender del i vers a s i mple a nd rel i a bl e
mea ns to extend LAN cabl i ng beyond i ts 1 metre l i mi t.
By connecti ng a s i ngl e OUTREACH LITE a fter 1 me tres of ca bli ng, the connection from network s wi tch port to wa l l outlet ma y extend up to
2 metres . OUTSOURCE del ivers power to the OUTREACH LITE, a nd may be conveniently loca ted nea r the ne twork swi tch.
3. Combining OUTREACH LITE and OUTREACH MA to deliver an unrestricted network connection beyond 200 metres
For extendi ng data-only connecti ons, where no PoE i s requi red for the end de vice, a combi na tion of OUTREACH MAX and OUTREACH LITE ma y
be us ed to i ncreas e range beyond 2 metres . The OUTREACH MAXes forwa rd both da ta a nd PoE from the PoE s wi tch to the powered device,
which i n this cas e i s the OUTREACH LITE. The tota l di s ta nce from s witch to outlet i n the exampl e i s up to 4 metres (1316 feet).
Unres tricted 1 Ba s e-T ful l -duplex (total ba ndwi dth 2 Mbit/s ) connections of up to 22 metres (7218 feet) betwee n powe r s ources are
pos si ble us ing thi s method.
4. Versatile network expansion with distributed PoE using OUTREACH QUAD
In thi s exa mpl e an OUTREACH MAX is us ed to forwa rd enhanced PoE Plus power to a n OUTREACH QUAD PoE-forwa rding s wi tch, locate d up to
2 metres from the network s wi tch and OUTSOURCE PLUS i njector.
The OUTREACH QUAD extends the PoE a nd network connecti on a furthe r 2 metres to an IP ca me ra us i ng OUTREACH MAX, a nd provide s a
PoE network port for a VoIP phone, pl us a n a dditi onal two network connecti ons for other devices or for connection to a loca l network.
