PLANET 100MBPS ETHERNET (4-PORT LAN) TO VSDL2 BRIDGE 30A
Model: Planet VC-234
Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter (1 x RJ45, 1 x VDSL2/RJ11,17a/30a)
Ethernet Distance Extension
Two VC-234 acting as a standalone pair is good for Ethernet distance extension over existing telephone wires. With just one pair of AWG-24 copper wire, you can easily connect two Ethernet networks together with the data rate of maximum 100/100Mbps. The telephone service can still be used while the VC-234 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-234 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 or hospitals. By utilizing the existing telephony infrastructure, network installation is straightforward and requires no new wiring. With up to 100/100Mbps transmission, Video on Demand, IP telephony and various broadband services can be easily provided.
Last Mile of FTTx Deployment
The VC-234 is an ideal solution for FTTx (Fiber to the Building, Fiber to the Campus or Fiber to the Node) applications. It supports high bandwidth VDSL2 over existing telephone wires in the last mile from the ISP / Telecom / Service providers fiber node to the buildings and customers' houses. The 10/100Mbps ports of the VC-234 can be directly connected to a PC or to Ethernet devices such as Ethernet Switches or Broadband Routers. It is excellent for phone line network built under Internet because every room or house can use the existing phone line to transmit data through the Internet and the whole building can share the Internet to the wider area network at a minimum cost.
