Description
Veracity HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 4 LINKLOCK - Four Channel Unit With LINKLOCK
Discover a secure, high-performance solution for Ethernet and PoE over coax with the Veracity HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 4 LINKLOCK. Designed for demanding surveillance and network deployments, this four-channel unit delivers tamper-proof connections, robust reliability, and streamlined installation at sites where coax-based links are preferable or required. The POWERSTAR Base 4 encapsulates Veracity’s commitment to secure, scalable edge networking, combining rugged hardware with innovative LINKLOCK tamper-resistant technology to protect both data and power delivery at the source.

Tamper-proof security with LINKLOCK. The POWERSTAR Base 4 leverages LINKLOCK technology to provide secure tamper-proof network connections over coax cable. Each of the four channels is independently protected, reducing the risk of unauthorized taps or interference that can compromise data integrity and PoE power delivery. This robust approach is ideal for camera feeds, control signals, and critical devices at remote or exposed installations. By locking signal paths into a dedicated, tamper-evident interface, operators gain confidence that their network edges remain resilient against tampering and environmental challenges.
In practice, this means a more resilient edge for surveillance systems, industrial monitoring, and campus deployments where physical access to cables is a real concern. The Base 4’s LINKLOCK-enabled channels deliver consistent performance while simplifying perimeter security, making it easier to maintain verifiable link integrity across sites with limited rack space or challenging cabling routes.
-
Four-channel architecture for flexible deployment. The Base 4 is engineered to deliver four tamper-proof channels of Ethernet and PoE over coax, enabling multiple cameras, sensors, or PoE devices to operate from a single enclosure. Each channel remains independent, preventing cross-talk and allowing different data and power profiles to coexist—ideal for varied surveillance configurations where some cameras require higher PoE levels while others serve as data-only endpoints. The four-channel layout provides the right balance of capacity and simplicity for mid-scale deployments without resorting to oversized or complex network wiring.
With the POWERSTAR platform, you can scale your edge network by integrating additional HIGHWIRE devices as needs grow, preserving performance and security without introducing new cable spools or management headaches. Coax-based LINKLOCK channels help streamline installation in environments where traditional Ethernet runs are impractical, such as retrofits, historic buildings, or outdoor sites with limited accessibility.
-
Easy installation and rugged reliability. Veracity’s HIGHWIRE family emphasizes quick deployment paired with durable hardware. The Base 4 unit is designed to operate reliably in a range of environments, from controlled data centers to outdoor enclosures exposed to weather and temperature swings. By consolidating Ethernet and PoE over coax into four tamper-proof channels, installation teams can reduce cabling complexity, speed up commissioning, and improve cable management. The rugged construction supports long service life in challenging conditions, while the secure connectors minimize the risk of accidental disconnections or cable tampering during routine maintenance or field servicing.
Administrators benefit from a consistent hardware platform that integrates smoothly with other HIGHWIRE devices, enabling faster troubleshooting and easier asset management. The result is a resilient edge that keeps critical video feeds and device power stable, even when deployed across multiple sites with varying environmental demands.

Use cases, benefits, and synergy with the HIGHWIRE ecosystem. The POWERSTAR Base 4 is designed for security-centric deployments—perimeter monitoring, campus surveillance, and critical infrastructure where tamper resistance and reliable PoE delivery are essential. Coax-based LINKLOCK enables flexible placement of cameras and sensors where traditional Ethernet runs are constrained by geography or building layouts. The four-channel unit can power and connect multiple IP cameras, edge devices, or sensors, enabling a streamlined, secure edge network that reduces cabling complexity and lowers total cost of ownership over the device lifecycle. In addition, centralized management and monitoring capabilities across the HIGHWIRE portfolio simplify ongoing maintenance and performance optimization for large-scale deployments.
Ultimately, the Base 4 offers a compelling combination of security, reliability, and deployment agility. By unifying data and power delivery over tamper-resistant coax paths, it helps security teams extend their networks while maintaining strict control over who can access and alter edge connections.

how to install Veracity HIGHWIRE Powerstar Base 4 LINKLOCK
- Step 1: Plan your layout. Identify the installation location for the Base 4 unit and map the coax paths to each channel, ensuring that each channel’s coax route is clear of interference and within recommended cable length limits.
- Step 2: Mount the unit. Secure the POWERSTAR Base 4 in a suitable enclosure or equipment rack. Ensure proper ventilation and protection from direct exposure to the elements if installed outdoors.
- Step 3: Connect coax with LINKLOCK channels. Attach coax cables to the four LINKLOCK ports, ensuring each connection is firmly seated and the tamper-resistant mechanism is engaged. Verify that the connectors are clean and free of damage before final seating.
- Step 4: Connect data and PoE devices. Attach Ethernet endpoints and PoE-powered devices to the corresponding channels as required by your network design. Confirm PoE settings align with device requirements and power budgets to prevent overloading any single channel.
- Step 5: Configure and test. Power up the unit, verify link status indicators, and test data transmission and PoE delivery across all four channels. Monitor for any anomalies, and adjust network parameters through your management interface if needed to optimize performance and security.
