Veracity Ethernet Extender

The Veracity Ethernet Extender—OUTREACH Lite offers a simple, reliable solution to double the length of a 10/100 Ethernet connection without adding complexity to your network. Designed for plug-and-play deployment, this extender requires no configuration and no local power supply, making it an ideal choice for bridging distant devices, remote sites, or factory floor equipment, all while preserving the integrity and performance of your existing copper Ethernet links. Whether you’re expanding a campus network, connecting distant controllers on an assembly line, or linking remote monitoring stations, OUTREACH Lite delivers a straightforward, cost-effective way to extend reach without compromising throughput or reliability.

• Double the length of a 10/100 Ethernet connection with a simple, pass-through design that preserves your existing copper cabling and network topology while expanding reach to remote devices or distant network segments.
• Plug-and-play and zero-configuration—no setup screens, no software, and no complicated management. Just connect the transmitter at one end and the receiver at the other, and your extended link is ready to go.
• No local power supply required—a truly passive extender that does not rely on an external power source. This makes it ideal for hard-to-reach installations, equipment rooms, and spaces where power outlets are scarce.
• Maintains full network throughput—OUTREACH Lite does not restrict or degrade your 10/100 Mbps link. You get the same performance as a direct connection, with the added benefit of extended distance.
• Broad compatibility for standard networks—designed to work with standard RJ45 copper Ethernet and typical 10/100 networks, suitable for office environments, industrial facilities, and campus deployments.

how to install Veracity Ethernet Extender

Installing the Veracity Ethernet Extender is quick and effortless. Place the two OUTREACH Lite units at opposite ends of the link you want to extend. Use a standard RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect the source device to the transmitter unit on one end, and another RJ45 Ethernet cable to connect the receiver unit to the destination device on the far end. Because the device is passive, there is no separate power input or setup procedure required. Once physically connected, your devices should communicate as if they were connected by a direct Ethernet cable, but with the added benefit of extended distance. When planning the installation, consider the total run length following 10/100 Ethernet guidelines and ensure each segment uses reliable copper cabling. For best results, keep runs free of excessive interference, avoid tight bends, and protect cables from environmental factors that might degrade signal integrity. After installation, test the link by sending typical traffic between the connected devices to verify stability and performance. The process is designed to be straightforward, fast, and maintenance-free, enabling you to extend network reach with minimal disruption to existing configurations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does the Veracity Ethernet Extender require power? No external power supply is required. It is a passive extension device, designed to operate without additional power sources, which simplifies installation and reduces ongoing costs.
• Do I need any configuration to use it? No. The OUTREACH Lite is plug-and-play and requires no configuration. Connect the units at opposite ends of your link, and the extension is ready for use.
• Will it slow down my network? No. The extender preserves the full 10/100 Mbps throughput of your link. You won’t experience additional latency or reduced bandwidth due to the extension.
• What networks is it compatible with? It is designed for 10/100 Ethernet networks using standard RJ45 copper cabling. It does not support gigabit (1000 Mbps) Ethernet in this configuration, so plan accordingly if you operate at higher speeds.
• Where is this device most beneficial? Ideal for campuses, industrial facilities, factory floors, equipment rooms, or any environment where you need to bridge distances without adding power requirements or network management complexity.
• How long can my Ethernet run be when using the extender? The OUTREACH Lite doubles the practical length of a 10/100 Ethernet link. Always ensure each segment remains within the typical copper Ethernet distance guidelines for reliable performance.
