Challenge
Traditional campus topologies required additional cabinets, media converters and powered devices between buildings. That added capital cost, more failure points, and slower fault-finding across a growing estate.

Multi-building campus backbone simplified with Hyperspan XR
Regional university estate · North West England · 2025
A multi-building campus cut intermediate cabinets and active mid-span hardware by designing longer copper channels with Hyperspan XR for CCTV, ANPR and estate Wi-Fi edge nodes.

Edge devices on XR copper
Solution
Design teams specified Hyperspan XR Category 6 for longer point-to-point copper channels between key nodes, paired with Hyperspan connectivity, short high-quality patching, and Fluke-compatible validation guidance under real PoE load.
Outcome
Fewer intermediate enclosures, cleaner pathways, and a simpler warranty-backed installation model for the contractor and estate team — with edge cameras and access points powered over the same extended copper runs.
“XR let us keep copper where fibre and mid-span gear would have complicated the estate. The topology is cleaner, and commissioning was straightforward once we validated under real camera load.”
