Veracity VLS-1P-B LONGSPAN PoE Extender

Veracity VLS-1P-B LONGSPAN PoE Extender

Overview

The Veracity VLS-1P-B is a purpose-built PoE extender engineered to extend power and data delivery across distances where standard Ethernet runs fall short. Designed for security integrators, installers, and IT infrastructure teams, the VLS-1P-B delivers reliable 10/100 connectivity with industrial-grade performance specifications. This single-port extender addresses the critical challenge of powering remote networked devices—cameras, access control systems, intercoms, and sensors—beyond standard PoE distance limitations.

Key Features

• Extended PoE Reach: Enables power delivery and data transmission across LONGSPAN distances, eliminating the need for supplementary power supplies at remote device locations
• 10/100 Ethernet Speed: Full-duplex Fast Ethernet performance for reliable video, control, and telemetry data transmission
• Single-Port Design: Compact, focused architecture simplifies installation in cable runs and patch locations
• Industrial Operating Temperature: Rated for industrial environments, ensuring stable operation in temperature-variable deployment scenarios
• PoE Compatibility: Works with standard PoE infrastructure (802.3af/at) to eliminate complex power distribution solutions
• Plug-and-Play Deployment: No configuration required; operates immediately upon connection to source and load devices

Integration & Compatibility

The VLS-1P-B integrates seamlessly into existing PoE-based security and network infrastructures. It functions transparently between PoE sources (switches, injectors) and remote powered devices, requiring no active management or configuration. This compatibility makes it suitable for retrofit installations, extended camera runs in perimeter security deployments, and remote access control installations where power injection points are physically distant from end devices.

Deployment Applications

Security integrators commonly deploy the VLS-1P-B to extend IP camera feeds beyond standard 100-meter Ethernet limitations, power remote door controllers and intercoms in campus environments, and support distributed sensor networks in industrial or transportation settings. The industrial operating temperature rating ensures performance in outdoor, unheated, or thermally variable locations where consumer-grade equipment would fail.

I've specified the Veracity VLS-1P-B in several large-scale security projects where standard PoE runs simply don't reach equipment locations. This extender solves a real problem: you can't reliably push power and data more than 100 meters over copper, and the VLS-1P-B extends that reach significantly without requiring additional AC power drops at remote sites.

Technical Highlights:

• PoE Pass-Through: The unit transparently extends PoE from source to endpoint, preserving all power budget information and maintaining full Ethernet speeds
• Industrial Temperature Tolerance: Rated for industrial operating temperatures, meaning it performs reliably outdoors or in unheated enclosures where many commercial-grade devices would degrade
• 10/100 Throughput: Adequate for most security cameras, intercoms, and access control devices; not suitable for 1G+ surveillance or data-heavy applications

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify total PoE budget before installation; the extender passes power but does not amplify it, so source device power output must support the load
• Position the extender close to the midpoint of long runs to minimize voltage drop across cable segments
• Confirm compatibility with your PoE switch or injector; legacy non-standard PoE implementations may not work reliably

For remote installations where power availability is constrained, the VLS-1P-B is a straightforward, cost-effective alternative to running new power lines. I recommend it for perimeter camera deployments, distant gate intercoms, and sensor networks in campus or industrial environments.
