Veracity OUTREACH Max GXT Outdoor Gigabit Ethernet and POE Extender

The Veracity OUTREACH Max GXT is a rugged, outdoor-ready gigabit Ethernet extender designed to push network reach further than standard point-to-point connections. Built for professional deployments—such as surveillance systems, outdoor access points, and remote sensor networks—it combines two RJ-45 network channels, robust mounting options, and seamless Power over Ethernet (PoE) support to minimize cabling complexity and maximize reliability. Whether you’re extending a security camera setup across a campus, connecting a remote gateway, or bridging Ethernet between buildings, the Max GXT is engineered to deliver stable, high-speed connectivity over longer distances with ease.

• Extended range with dual-port flexibility: With a proven extended reach of up to 328.08 feet (100 meters), the OUTREACH Max GXT makes it possible to place critical devices farther from the central switch or PoE injector while maintaining solid, Gigabit-class performance. The two RJ-45 network ports provide independent or link-bridging capability, enabling you to pair cameras, access points, or other networked devices in a clean, centralized topology.
• Universal Gigabit compatibility: The extender supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and network infrastructure. This universal compatibility guarantees smooth integration into existing deployments, whether you’re upgrading legacy equipment or laying out a new outdoor network backbone.
• Rugged, easy-to-mount enclosure: Designed for outdoor installations, the OUTREACH Max GXT features a secure wall-mounting solution with a detachable bracket for flexible positioning. The enclosure accommodates practical cable routing while preserving a tidy, weather-aware installation that keeps critical links accessible and protected.
• Weather-conscious cabling with RJ-45 seals: The device includes easy-to-fit cable seals for cables with existing RJ-45 plugs, helping to minimize moisture ingress and dust intrusion at connection points. This thoughtful detail supports long-term reliability in outdoor environments where temperature swings, wind-driven rain, or humidity can affect performance.
• PoE-powered for streamlined deployments: Power over Ethernet eliminates the need for a separate power supply at the extender location. By drawing power through the same Ethernet cable used for data, the Max GXT reduces cabling, simplifies installation, and preserves the aesthetic and practical layout of outdoor sites.

How to install Veracity OUTREACH Max GXT

• Plan your placement: Identify a secure outdoor location that provides a clear line of sight and convenient access to your PoE source. Verify that the distance to the remote devices stays within the 328.08 ft extended range to ensure reliable connectivity.
• Prepare your cabling: Choose CAT5e/CAT6 cables rated for outdoor use if possible, and measure the path from the PoE source to the extender and from the extender to each connected device. Keep cables protected from physical damage and avoid sharp bends near connectors.
• Mount the unit: Attach the detachable mounting bracket to a stable surface using appropriate fasteners. Secure the Veracity OUTREACH Max GXT in place, ensuring that the enclosure remains accessible for maintenance while protecting the ports from direct exposure to the elements.
• Route and seal cables: Run the data cables through weather-sealed conduits or grommets where needed. Use the built-in cable seals to accommodate cables with RJ-45 plugs, ensuring a tight seal around each connection point to resist moisture and dust intrusion.
• Connect your devices: Plug the first device into one RJ-45 port and, if needed, bridge or daisy-chain the second port to another device such as a camera, access point, or network switch. Keep track of which port connects to which device for easier diagnostics later.
• Power over Ethernet: Ensure your PoE injector or PoE switch is delivering adequate power to the extender. Since the Max GXT is PoE-powered, it will derive power directly from the network cable, simplifying your power planning at the edge location.
• Test and verify: Power up the system and test data transmission between the central network and the remote devices. Check for link integrity, throughput, and stability across the extended distance. If you encounter issues, recheck cable routing, seal integrity, and port connections.
• Secure and finalize: Once performance is confirmed, secure any loose cables and complete final cable management to minimize movement and wear. Document your network map for future maintenance or reconfiguration.

Frequently asked questions

• Q: How far can I extend the network with the Veracity OUTREACH Max GXT?
  A: It supports an extended range of up to 328.08 feet (100 meters) between the extender and connected devices, making it suitable for outdoor deployments that are beyond the reach of typical unmanaged switches.
• Q: How many devices can I connect through this extender?
  A: The device provides 2 x RJ-45 network ports, enabling you to connect two separate devices or bridge two segments of your outdoor network as needed.
• Q: Do I need a separate power supply at the extender?
  A: No. The OUTREACH Max GXT is PoE-powered, so it draws power from a PoE-enabled switch or injector via the Ethernet cable, simplifying installation and reducing clutter.
• Q: Is this unit suitable for outdoor installations?
  A: Yes. It is designed for outdoor use with a secure wall-mount option and features cable sealing options to help protect connections from environmental exposure.
• Q: What Ethernet speeds are supported?
  A: The extender supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices and networks while providing robust performance at the edge.
