Veracity VLS-1P-CC LONGSPAN PoE Extender

Veracity VLS-1P-CC PoE Extender

The Veracity VLS-1P-CC is a LONGSPAN Power over Ethernet extender designed to extend PoE signal delivery beyond standard IEEE 802.3af/at distance limitations. Built for security integrators, telecom installers, and IT infrastructure teams who need reliable remote device powering without additional electrical runs, the VLS-1P-CC operates at 10/100 Mbps Ethernet speed and delivers extended PoE capability to network devices positioned at distances beyond conventional PoE specifications.

Overview

The VLS-1P-CC addresses a critical infrastructure challenge: deploying network cameras, access control readers, intercoms, and other PoE-powered devices in locations where standard PoE reach is insufficient. By extending both power and signal, the VLS-1P-CC eliminates the need for additional electrical circuits or intermediate power supplies at remote endpoints. This is particularly valuable in large facilities, outdoor perimeters, and multi-building campuses where power availability at the device location is limited or impractical.

Key Features

• 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Speed: Operates at standard Fast Ethernet speeds suitable for IP cameras, access control systems, and networked security devices that do not require Gigabit bandwidth
• Extended PoE Range: Designed to push PoE delivery beyond typical 100-meter limitations, reducing infrastructure complexity and installation cost
• Passive PoE Extension: Extends both data and power simultaneously over a single cable run, simplifying deployment logistics
• Compact Form Factor: Minimal footprint allows flexible mounting in cable trays, conduit boxes, or equipment racks
• Low Latency Operation: Maintains signal integrity and minimal delay for real-time security applications
• Wide Compatibility: Works with standard IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at PoE sources and compatible endpoint devices

Integration and Deployment

The VLS-1P-CC integrates seamlessly into existing PoE infrastructure. Install the unit at any point along the cable run between the PoE source (switch, injector, or midspan) and the remote device. The extender regenerates both signal and power, allowing additional cable segments beyond the standard distance limit. This approach is preferred in installations where intermediate power injection points would introduce cost, complexity, or maintenance burden.

Security integrators frequently deploy the VLS-1P-CC in parking lot camera arrays, perimeter fence lines, building-to-building networks, and utility cabinet monitoring where extended reach is essential. IT managers use the VLS-1P-CC to eliminate costly electrical work and simplify device relocation without infrastructure redesign.

Specification Summary

The Veracity VLS-1P-CC (often searched as VLS 1P CC) operates at 10/100 Mbps Ethernet speed and is engineered for extended-range PoE delivery. The unit maintains full IEEE compliance for PoE power delivery while extending transmission distance beyond conventional limits. Consult detailed product datasheets for current operating temperature ranges, power consumption, and exact maximum extension distances when used in series with your specific PoE source and cable type.

During infrastructure assessments for large campus deployments, the VLS-1P-CC has proven effective at bridging distance gaps where standard PoE falls short. The ability to extend range without introducing additional power circuits simplifies single-run cable designs and reduces installation labor significantly. I've evaluated the VLS-1P-CC in several multi-building security refresh projects where standard PoE reach would have forced expensive electrical infrastructure changes.

Technical Highlights:

• Extended PoE Delivery: Regenerates power signal to push beyond 100-meter standard range, essential for large perimeter deployments
• 10/100 Mbps Compatibility: Operates natively at Fast Ethernet speeds, sufficient for most IP surveillance and access control devices that do not require Gigabit bandwidth

Deployment Considerations:

• Position the VLS-1P-CC unit in a protected, accessible location along the cable run; outdoor installations benefit from weatherproof enclosures or conduit protection
• Verify upstream PoE source power budget; the extender regenerates signal but respects source limitations—confirm adequate power supply ratings before deployment
• Test end-to-end power delivery and network connectivity before final commissioning, particularly in longer cable runs or high-EMI environments
• Document the VLS-1P-CC placement in site topology diagrams for future maintenance and troubleshooting reference

For integrators managing medium-scale facility upgrades or IT teams supporting distributed device networks, the VLS-1P-CC eliminates a common bottleneck: distance-constrained PoE reach. It is a practical, cost-effective solution that reduces design complexity and shortens project timelines.
