Veracity VLS-1U LONGSPAN PoE Extender SFP Module Switch

Veracity VLS-1U LONGSPAN PoE Extender

The Veracity VLS-1U is a 24-port SFP module switch designed to extend Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) delivery across long-distance fiber runs in security and surveillance deployments. Purpose-built for integrators and system designers who require extended reach beyond traditional copper Ethernet limitations, the VLS-1U consolidates fiber termination and PoE regeneration in a compact 1U form factor suitable for distributed network architectures.

Overview

The VLS-1U addresses a critical infrastructure challenge: delivering PoE power to remote edge devices—IP cameras, access control readers, intercoms, and wireless access points—over distances that exceed standard copper cable specifications. By leveraging fiber optics for signal transmission while maintaining PoE capability at extended distances, the VLS-1U enables installations in environments where traditional PoE switches would require costly intermediate power supplies or signal regeneration equipment.

With 24 SFP module slots, the Veracity VLS-1U provides flexible fiber transceiver options, allowing integrators to select single-mode, multimode, or specialty wavelength modules to match site-specific cabling infrastructure. This modular approach reduces inventory complexity and supports mixed-fiber environments common in large campuses, industrial facilities, and distributed security networks.

Key Features

• 24-Port SFP Module Architecture: Supports hot-swappable SFP transceivers for flexible fiber connectivity and future protocol upgrades without hardware replacement
• PoE Regeneration: Extends PoE power delivery across fiber infrastructure to support remote IP security devices beyond standard copper range limitations
• LONGSPAN Technology: Engineered for extended fiber run capability, reducing reliance on intermediate powered equipment in distributed deployments
• 1U Compact Form Factor: DIN rail or standard rack mounting option fits seamlessly into network closets, telecom cabinets, and remote equipment shelters
• Modular SFP Slot Design: Transceiver agnostic—deploy single-mode, multimode, or wavelength-specific modules based on existing fiber plant and distance requirements
• Professional-Grade Switching: Manages traffic across extended PoE segments without bottlenecking security data streams or power delivery to edge devices

Integration & Compatibility

The VLS-1U integrates with standard fiber cabling plants and works with industry-standard SFP transceivers, making it compatible with existing network infrastructure upgrades. The switch architecture supports seamless bridging between fiber backbone networks and copper PoE distribution at remote locations, a critical topology for multi-building security deployments, airport terminals, transportation facilities, and enterprise campuses.

System integrators can deploy the Veracity VLS-1U as a fiber-to-PoE conversion point, eliminating the need for separate media converters and power injectors at each remote node. This consolidated approach reduces equipment footprint, simplifies cabling, and lowers total cost of ownership across large-scale distributed security networks.

The 24-port configuration supports sufficient aggregate throughput for simultaneous camera streams, access control traffic, and intercom signaling over extended distances. Typical deployments pair the VLS-1U with surveillance DVR/NVR systems, access control servers, and IP intercom platforms connected via fiber backbone infrastructure.
