PLANET's state-of-the-art Ethernet-over-VDSL products are based on two core networking technologies: Ethernet and VDSL (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line). This technology offers the absolute fastest possible data transmission speeds over existing copper telephone lines without the need for rewiring.
The VC-102 Ethernet over VDSL converters have a switching architecture with one RJ-45 10/100Mbps Ethernet port and one VDSL port (with 2 RJ-11 connectors). When the VC-102M is used to connect to a VC-102S as a standalone pair, up to 5 speeds can be selected by a DIP switch on the VC-102M to compensate for connection distance. The selected speed can be up to 15/17Mbps asymmetric data rate at 1.05km and up to 5/5Mbps asymmetric data rate at 1.5km. This configuration is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender for your existing Ethernet network. The VC-102S can also be connected to PLANET's new 16 VDSL-port + 2 gigabit-slots stackable switch, the VC-1602, to offer the most flexible approach to new network design and existing network upgrades.
Fully compatible with Cisco LRE switch and CPE modems, PLANET's VDSL solution provides a much cheaper replacement and smooth migration for existing Cisco LRE networks.
Product Application
Ethernet Distance extension
The VC-102M and VC-102S 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 (maximum 1.5 kilometers) with a maximum 15/17Mbps data rate. Telephone service can still be used on the pair while the modems are in operation.
MTU/MDU/Hospitality Solution
VDSL is the best solution to quickly provide cost-effective, high speed network services to multi-unit buildings, such as residential (multidwelling units) and commercial (multitenant units) buildings, hotels and hospital. By utilizing the existing telephony infrastructure, network installation is straightforward and requires no new wiring. With up to 15/17Mbps, Video on Demand, IP telephony and various broadband services can be easily provisioned.
