Veracity VPSU-57V-800-US HIGHWIRE Ethernet over Coax

Veracity VPSU-57V-800-US HIGHWIRE Ethernet over Coax Power Supply

Overview

The Veracity VPSU-57V-800-US is a purpose-built power supply designed for HIGHWIRE Ethernet over Coax systems. This unit extends network and power delivery across coaxial cable infrastructure, enabling legacy and new video surveillance systems to operate over existing twisted pair and coax cabling without requiring parallel power runs. The VPSU-57V-800-US (often searched as VPSU 57V 800 US) is engineered for industrial-grade deployments where cabling infrastructure must be maximized and installation complexity minimized.

Key Features

• Ethernet over Coax Technology: Delivers both data and power across coaxial cable, eliminating the need for separate power distribution to remote endpoints.
• Industrial Operating Temperature: Rated for industrial temperature ranges, ensuring reliable operation in outdoor, enclosed, and challenging environmental conditions.
• HIGHWIRE System Integration: Native compatibility with Veracity HIGHWIRE ecosystem for seamless network extension and power delivery coordination.
• Legacy Infrastructure Compatibility: Works with existing coax runs, reducing capital expenditure on new cabling infrastructure during system upgrades.
• Compact Form Factor: Designed for integration into standard rack, pole, or wall-mount installations without requiring extensive modification.
• Reliable Power Delivery: Stable 57V output supports extended cable runs while maintaining consistent voltage delivery to powered devices.

Integration & Compatibility

The VPSU-57V-800-US integrates directly with Veracity HIGHWIRE network extenders and powered devices that accept 57V Ethernet over Coax input. This power supply supports mixed deployments where analog legacy systems transition to IP-based video surveillance. Installers benefit from reduced labor during retrofit projects, as existing coaxial plant can serve dual duty for both analog video and IP data/power delivery.

The industrial temperature rating ensures operation in outdoor equipment cabinets, rooftop installations, and environments subject to thermal cycling without requiring additional environmental control or enclosure upgrades.

Deployment Applications

Security integrators specify the VPSU-57V-800-US for campus video networks, perimeter security systems, critical infrastructure monitoring, and long-distance camera deployments where power availability is limited at remote endpoints. The unit enables cost-effective system expansion by leveraging existing copper cabling as a unified transport medium for data and power.

Jerry Tildsen

During recent systems planning for a multi-site security upgrade, I evaluated the Veracity VPSU-57V-800-US for a hybrid deployment scenario where the customer wanted to maintain existing analog infrastructure while adding IP cameras across distributed locations. The Ethernet over Coax architecture proved highly practical for reducing installation footprint and complexity.

Technical Highlights:

• Power Distribution Efficiency: 57V delivery over coax maintains voltage stability across extended runs, reducing signal loss compared to lower-voltage PoE alternatives.
• Industrial Temperature Rating: Operates reliably in outdoor cabinets and extreme ambient conditions without thermal management overhead.

Deployment Considerations:

• Verify coax cable condition and impedance matching before deployment to ensure optimal power delivery and data integrity across the line.
• Plan power supply placement to minimize voltage drop, particularly on runs exceeding 300 meters where attenuation becomes measurable.
• Coordinate with field teams on grounding practices at powered endpoints to prevent ground loop interference in mixed analog-IP environments.

The VPSU-57V-800-US is a straightforward, reliable choice for integrators managing infrastructure-constrained deployments. It eliminates the complexity of parallel power runs and reduces total cost of ownership when leveraging existing plant. For mixed analog-IP transitions and distributed camera networks, it delivers practical value without unnecessary feature bloat.
