Know before you buy
Yes, the HIGHWIRE Powerstar is designed to transmit both data and up to 25W of PoE power over existing coaxial cabling. This allows you to upgrade to IP cameras while utilizing your building's legacy infrastructure.
You can achieve a full-rate 100Mbit/s connection at distances of up to 500 meters. This makes it an ideal solution for long-range camera placements where standard Ethernet cable limits would normally be an issue.
The device features an integrated SafeView™ display. This provides an instant visual confirmation of your network link and power status, which helps you troubleshoot or verify the setup without needing extra testing equipment.
Yes, it supports IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards. It is compatible with most standard PoE-enabled IP cameras that require up to 25W of power.
No, it is a plug-and-play device. Once connected to your coaxial cable and the network switch, it automatically negotiates the connection and power delivery.
The unit is built with integrated overload, short-circuit, and over-temperature protection. These features ensure the device remains stable and safe even during power fluctuations or environmental stress.
