The Veracity VHW-HWPS-C Highwire Ethernet Over Coax Converter Adaptor is a reliable and efficient device. It enables users to convert Ethernet signals into coaxial signals, allowing for a seamless connection between devices. This unit is perfect for those in need of a versatile and functional networking tool. It comes with 1 unit which can be used together with an additional (VHW-HWPS-B) which must be purchased separately to extend the Ethernet range over long distances.

The Veracity brand is known for its high-quality products, and this adaptor is no exception. With its easy-to-use interface and compact design, it is a must-have for those seeking a reliable and efficient networking solution.

Instructions included.

Upgrading to IP

Delivering full network connectivity and standardised, centrally-sourced power without recabling, HIGHWIRE removes many of the barriers to upgrading systems from analog to digital.

New installations

With the familiarity of coaxial cable and the reliability and cost advantages of POE, HIGHWIRE PowerStar is an effective choice for the installation of new IP video systems where cable runs may be very long or inaccessible.

Long range extension

Connecting HIGHWIRE PowerStar units back-to-back allows the network signal to be repeated without local power, enabling extension of Ethernet up to 4km (2.5 miles)

Anywhere there’s coax!

The ability to convert coax into a network connection without requiring power has many advantages in upgrading CATV or satellite systems in hotels or other buildings, among other applications.  HIGHWIRE technology has been successfully used with 50 ohm cable and many other non-video types
