VC-231 — 1-Port 10/100TX Ethernet to VDSL2 Converter

Descripción

100/100Mbps Downstream/Upstream, High-performance Ethernet over Phone Wire Solution PLANET VC-231, a new-designed and high-performance Fast Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter with the ITU-T G.993.2 VDSL2 17A/30A profile, works well with a pervasive telephone line network with a symmetric data rate of up to 100/100Mbps (Fast, 30A 6dB) over a distance of 200m and 22/19Mbps over a long distance of 1.4km . It is based on the two-core networking technology, Fast Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). The VDSL2 technology offers absolutely the fastest data transmission speed over the existing copper telephone lines without the need of rewiring. High-performance Ethernet over VDSL2 Via the latest VDSL2 technology, PLANET VC-231 offers high-speed access to Internet, up to 100Mbps for both upstream and downstream data transmissions. With integrated support for the ITU-T’s G.993.2 VDSL2 technology , the VC-231 works in conjunction with VDSL2 DSLAMs to remove crosstalk interference and improve maximum line bandwidth across the existing copper infrastructure. Implementing with Existing Telephone Copper Wires The VC-231 is also a Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) converter providing one RJ45 Ethernet port and one RJ11 phone jack, which is for VDSL2 connection. Use the additional splitter from the package of the VC-231 to share the existing phone line with POTS, thus replacing the existing copper wiring is not necessary. Just plug the VC-231 with the additional splitter into the existing RJ11 telephone jack and a high-performance VDSL2 network can be connected. It is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender to an existing Ethernet network. Delivering High-demanding Service Connectivity for ISP/Triple Play Devices The VC-231 provides an excellent bandwidth demand for the triple play devices for home entertainment and communication. The Fast, 30A, 6dB VDSL2 profile with 100/100Mbps data transmission , the VC-231 enables many multi-media services to work on the local Internet, such as VoD (video on demand), voice over IP, video phone, IPTV, Internet caching server, distance education, and so on. Easy and Flexible Installation The VC-231 offers two modes, CPE and CO , for application -- CPE mode is used at client side and CO mode is at central side. The CPE or CO mode can be adjusted by using a built-in DIP switch. For point-to-point connection, a CPE mode VC-231 and a CO mode VC-231 must be set up as one pair of converters to perform the connection. The VC-231 comes with a plug-and-play design and is fully compatible with all kinds of network protocols, the VC-231 can be used as a standalone unit when powered by its DC adapter or used as a slide-in module to PLANET 10/19-inch 7-/15-slot media converter chassis (MC-700/MC-1500/MC-1500R/MC-1500R48). Moreover, the operating status of each individual port and the whole system can be watched via the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front panel. ADSL2+ Fallback For those ISPs that still provide ADSL broadband service, the VC-231 can support transmission rates up to 24Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream with the ADSL2+ technology. The VC-231 establishes a connection with ISP and can be also directly switched over to VDSL2 after the ISP network upgrade. Applications Ethernet Distance Extension Two VC-231 converters can act as a standalone pair which is good for Ethernet distance extension over the existing telephone wires. With just one pair of AWG-24 copper wires, two Ethernet networks can be easily connected to each other with a maximum data transmission rate of 100Mbps. The telephone service can still be used while the VC-231 CO/CPE is in operation. The two solutions listed below are typical applications for the Ethernet over VDSL2 bridge. MTU/MDU/Hospitality Solution The VC-231 is a perfect solution to quickly providing cost-effective yet high-speed network services to multi-unit buildings such as residential buildings (multi-dwelling units), commercial (multi-tenant units) buildings, hotels and hospitals. By utilizing the existing telephony infrastructure, a new network installation can be easily built, without requiring new wiring. With a transmission rate of up to 100/100Mbps (Fast, 30A 6dB) VoD, IP telephony and various broadband services can be easily provided.
