Description
The HIGHWIRE Powerstar Duo optimizes existing cabling infrastructure by facilitating the connection of two IP cameras or other network devices, enhancing the utility of legacy systems. Its innovative ultra low-power design and efficient power delivery support extended-range Ethernet over coaxial cables, even when using low-grade cables like copper-clad steel (CCS) often found in older setups. This ensures that upgrades to coaxial systems can be planned with assurance, as the Safeview™ power level display provides immediate confirmation of reliable device connections regardless of cable type. With HIGHWIRE technology, users can expect consistent network performance without limitations, delivering up to 200Mbit/s bandwidth over distances of 300 meters (1000 feet) with RG-59 or 500 meters (1600 feet) with RG-11 coaxial cables. For more information on achievable POE-over-Coax™ distances, please consult the Range Table in the HIGHWIRE Powerstar datasheet, and refer to the POE Power Budget Table for power budget and supply options.
