Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender
Meet the Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender, a purpose-built solution to dramatically extend your Local Area Network (LAN) reach without compromising speed. If you’ve ever faced the challenge of connecting devices that sit far apart—from security cameras and sensors to outdoor access points and remote switches—the Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender delivers a practical, reliable answer. By enabling a single Ethernet run to carry Gigabit data over a much longer distance, this extender makes it possible to place high-bandwidth devices up to 200 meters (656 feet) away from your main network hub. It’s designed to merge seamlessly into existing networks, so you can double the range without overhauling your infrastructure. In today’s connected environments, where bandwidth, reliability, and straightforward deployment matter, this outdoor-friendly extender stands out as a versatile, affordable solution for expanding coverage, improving management, and simplifying remote deployments.
- Double your network reach with a single inline connection. Simply insert the Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender in line with the network cable to extend the range to 200 meters (656 feet). This enables remote cameras, sensors, and access points to connect back to the core network without introducing latency-heavy workarounds or climbing equipment to run extra fiber. Ideal for campus, industrial, and outdoor installations where distance used to be a barrier, this extender unlocks new placement options while preserving full Gigabit performance for bandwidth-intensive devices.
- Gigabit Ethernet performance at long distances. Don’t sacrifice speed for distance. The extender preserves full Gigabit Ethernet capabilities along extended runs, supporting high-bandwidth IP surveillance streams, real-time telemetry, and data-rich applications. Whether you’re streaming 4K video, transferring large files, or coordinating time-sensitive network services, you’ll benefit from consistent throughput and minimal jitter across the extended link.
- Plug-and-play inline deployment with standard cabling. No complex configurations or separate power supplies required—just connect the extender in-line with your existing Ethernet cable and you’re ready to go. It works with standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling, so you can repurpose existing network infrastructure without investing in specialty cables. The straightforward setup helps minimize network downtime while delivering immediate range extension across your LAN.
- Compatibility that fits into mature networks. The Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender plays well with a wide range of network equipment. By operating over standard Ethernet, it integrates cleanly with switches, routers, cameras, wireless access points, and other edge devices. This compatibility makes it a practical addition to both new installations and legacy networks, providing upgrade paths that preserve existing investments and simplify maintenance.
- Outdoor-ready design for rugged environments. Built to support outdoor deployments, the extender is designed to withstand the challenges of non-laboratory environments. Whether installed on a building exterior, in a telecom cabinet, or along an outdoor conduit route, it helps you extend your LAN reach to remote locations that previously required additional infrastructure. This makes it an excellent choice for campus perimeters, remote industrial facilities, or outdoor security systems that demand reliable connectivity across longer spans.
Techncial Details of Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender
- Note: Specific technical specifications are provided by the official distributor portal and are SKU/UPC-dependent. Exact figures for interfaces, power requirements (if applicable), and environmental ratings should be consulted in the official documentation or product datasheet associated with your UPC/SKU.
How to install Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender
- Plan your link: Identify the midpoint and determine the optimal point along the cable run to place the extender so that the total distance to each end does not exceed 200 meters. Verify that the path between devices allows for stable Ethernet signaling and minimal interference.
- Power considerations: If your model requires power, prepare a suitable power source or Power over Ethernet (PoE) option per the official installation guide. If the unit is designed to be passive inline, ensure the main devices remain powered from their respective endpoints and that inline insertion does not disrupt service during installation.
- Disconnect and prepare cables: Power down connected devices if recommended by your network policy. Disconnect the existing Ethernet cable segment where the extender will be inserted. Confirm you’re using a compatible Cat5e or Cat6 cabling with intact connectors.
- Connect in-line: Insert the Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender into the Ethernet path so that the “input” side connects to the local network and the “output” side continues toward the remote device. Use standard RJ-45 connections and ensure the interface is firmly seated to prevent intermittent connections.
- Test and verify: Reconnect devices and power them on. Confirm link status and negotiate Gigabit speed on both ends. Run network tests to ensure data throughput, latency, and packet loss meet your required performance. If issues arise, consult the product’s troubleshooting guide or contact support for guidance on alignment, cabling quality, or compatibility concerns.
Frequently asked questions
- What is the Veracity Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet Extender? It is a device designed to extend a LAN across longer distances by placing the extender inline with the Ethernet cable, enabling up to 200 meters (656 feet) of Gigabit-rated connectivity on a single run. It’s particularly useful for outdoor deployments where distance previously constrained network design, such as remote cameras, sensors, or distribution points.
- How far can it extend Gigabit Ethernet? Up to 200 meters (656 feet) on a single Ethernet run, preserving Gigabit speeds for compatible devices and applications.
- What cable type should I use? The extender works with standard Ethernet cabling, specifically Cat5e or Cat6, ensuring compatibility with most existing LAN installations and minimizing the need for new cabling investments.
- Do I need external power? Power requirements depend on the specific SKU. Some models are inline/passthrough and do not require a separate power source, while others may require PoE or an external power supply. Refer to the product datasheet for your SKU to confirm power needs.
- Is this device suitable for outdoor use? Yes, it is marketed for outdoor deployments and designed to integrate into outdoor network environments. When installing outdoors, follow best practices for weather exposure, cabling routing, and protection against physical damage to maintain performance and longevity.
- Will this affect my existing network performance? When properly installed, the extender maintains Gigabit performance over extended distances, enabling seamless integration with your existing network topology. Performance depends on cable quality, termination integrity, and the capabilities of the connected devices at each end of the link.
- How do I troubleshoot if I don’t see a link? Check the cable integrity, ensure proper inline installation, verify Cat5e/Cat6 compatibility, and confirm that the paired devices at each end are configured correctly. If issues persist, consult the installer guide or reach out to Veracity support for advanced diagnostics and guidance on compatibility with your specific hardware.
