VERACITY LONGSPAN LITE VLS-1N-L (01) PDF Document

The VERACITY LONGSPAN LITE VLS-1N-L has the following capabilities:

• It can deliver an unrestricted full-duplex 100Base-TX connection up to 820m on Cat6 or up to 600m on Cat5e network cable.

• A 10Base-T connection can be achieved up to 1050m on Cat6. See LONGSPAN Lite datasheet for details.

• It is fully self-configuring, featuring remote diagnostic LEDs and an extended temperature rating of -40°C to 70°C.

Please follow these power input guidelines for the VERACITY LONGSPAN LITE VLS-1N-L:

• The device must be powered externally; it is not powered via POE.

• It is normally powered by a 12V DC source but can accept a wide range of power inputs: 8V-57V DC or 20V-28V AC.

• When using DC power sources, you must observe the correct polarity on the green 2-pin screw terminal connector.

• The correct polarity is shown on the product top label.

• Standard Cat5e or Cat6 cable and RJ45 connectors should be used.

• The device supports both patch and crossover cables. Patch wiring (straight through connection) is recommended.

• The extended network link setup and configuration is fully automatic.

• The Ethernet ports should be connected to 100Base-TX or 10Base-T Ethernet compatible equipment.

• The extended network ports should only be connected to other LONGSPAN extended network ports. Devices are always used in pairs.

• The device is data-compatible with LONGSPAN Base & Camera devices (POE models) but does not accept or transmit POE.

Yes, the VERACITY LONGSPAN LITE VLS-1N-L can be used with other twisted pair cables as follows:

• 4-pair cable: 10Base-T/100Base-TX with standard Cat5e / Cat6 pin-out.

• 2-pair cable: 100Base-TX performance can be achieved on 2 pairs, where pins 1 & 2 are used for data and pins 7 & 8 are used for POE.

• 1-pair cable: 10Base-T/100Base-TX performance can be achieved on 1 pair, where pins 1 & 2 are not crossed-over.

When connecting LONGSPAN devices on cables over 600m or over cables with four or more joins (couplers, outlets, patch panels), on-site testing is recommended.

*Stated performance will be achieved where twists/metre and cable length permits, otherwise LONGSPAN will default to 10Base-T performance.

The Ethernet and LONGSPAN Lite interface port status LEDs indicate the connection status. Note that for extremely long runs, it may take a few seconds to optimise the link, and the green LONGSPAN LED may blink quickly while connecting.

For high channel count or high-density applications, VERACITY LONGSPAN LITE VLS-1N-L units may be rackmounted in the VLS-1U fascia plate to support up to 24 units in 1U. A variety of Veracity power supply options are available for larger centralised installations. Please see datasheets.

Any LONGSPAN network design for outdoor or external sections must incorporate the appropriate level of surge protection to avoid invalidation of warranty due to electrical storm damage. It is the responsibility of the system installer to ensure the correct level of surge protection.

It is the user’s responsibility to implement relevant surge protection measures, as appropriate to the installation. This may include the fitting of additional surge protection devices where required.
