Long Distance & Power Supply Difficulties for Campus Surveillance?K-12 All-Optical Solution Ensures Reliable Long-Distance Power Supply
AINOPOL – Provider of All-Optical Convergence Solutions for K-12 Education

Surveillance points at campus walls, playgrounds, main gates, remote corners, back hills, intersections and other areas commonly face problems such as long distance, difficult power access, complicated cabling and high construction costs.Traditional PoE can only supply power within 100 meters and fails beyond that distance. Independent power cabling involves high costs, difficult approval, major security risks and long construction cycles.
Long transmission distance leads to lagging, disconnection, black screens and failed playback of surveillance video, creating blind spots and vulnerabilities in campus security.How to achieve stable surveillance coverage with long distance, no local power supply, less cabling and low cost has become a key challenge in building a safe campus.
AINOPOL’s K-12 All-Optical Solution adopts POF optical-electrical integrated long-distance power supply technology to break through distance limits and realize stable deployment of long-distance surveillance.
Pain Points in Long-Distance Surveillance Deployment
Long-distance surveillance faces three major pain points:
Difficult power supply – No local power source and insufficient transmission distance of traditional PoE.
Complicated cabling – Long-distance wiring means high cost, difficult construction and strong interference.
High expenses – Huge investment in power engineering, pipelines and construction.
How the K-12 All-Optical Solution Realizes Long-Distance Power Supply
AINOPOL’s K-12 All-Optical Solution uses optical-electrical composite cable + POF long-distance power supply technology to break through traditional power supply limits.
It supports up to 200 meters @60W and 800 meters @15W long-distance power supply and data transmission, with no need for local power supply or separate power cabling.
Miniature SFP ONU / POF ONU terminals are compact, requiring no equipment cabinets or weak current rooms, and support plug-and-play.
Optical fiber transmission is anti-interference, loss-free and highly stable, making it ideal for playgrounds, walls, gates and remote areas.One network carries surveillance, alarms, broadcasting and SOS systems, realizing integrated safe campus management.
Value Brought by Long-Distance Power Supply to Campus Security
After implementation, campus security achieves full-area coverage:
No blind spots – Full coverage of long-distance and remote locations.
Simple deployment – No power supply needed, less cabling and fast construction.
Low cost – Significant reduction in investment with no power engineering required.
Stable and reliable – Fiber transmission ensures no disconnection, lag or interference.
Integration – Linked surveillance + broadcasting + alarms for smarter security.
FAQ
Q: Do we need a dedicated optical fiber team?A: You can assign 1–2 staff to learn optical cable maintenance, which requires fewer personnel than traditional networks.
Q: How does an all-optical network manage real-name Internet access?A: It supports 802.1X authentication just like traditional networks, with one account per user and access control policies.
Q: Is the all-optical network secure?A: Yes. Illegal access can be restricted on core devices, and independent channels can be assigned for different services such as campus cards.
