Name: 10/100Mbps Ethernet to VDSL2 Converter - 30a
Brand: Planet
SKU: VC-231

Turns existing copper telephone wiring into a high-speed Ethernet link

A converter that carries an Ethernet network over VDSL2 on copper telephone wiring. In the 30a profile it delivers 100/100 Mbps symmetric throughput on a 300-meter line, and it links up to 1.4 kilometers over AWG24 telephone wire. It needs no rewiring; the existing twisted pair is enough.

Key features

100/100Mbps

Symmetric data rate

Delivers equal upstream and downstream rates on a 300-meter line in the 30a profile.

1.4km

Long copper run

Links up to 1.4 kilometers over AWG24 telephone wire.

17a / 30aprofile

Tuned to the distance

Runs 17a on long lines and 30a on short ones.

4positions

DIP switch

Selects CO or CPE mode and fast or interleaved mode on the unit.

100m

Ethernet side

The 10/100Base-TX port runs up to 100 meters over Cat.5 cable.

IN DAILY USE

Existing telephone lineThe bundled splitter separates the POTS line, so voice and data share the same copper pair.

Transparent VLAN pass-throughForwards IEEE 802.1Q tagged frames to the far end unchanged.

Usage AreaIn-building Ethernet extension·IPTV and video streaming·Voice over IP·Distance learning networks

A point-to-point link needs two converters, one in CO mode and the other in CPE mode.
