PLANET Ethernet over VDSL series 6
1.2 Introduction To Ethernet over VDSL
Converter
General Description
The converter is a switching architecture with four RJ45
10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet switching ports and one
10Mbps RJ11 symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port
(symmetry means 10Mbps upstream and 10Mbps
downstream data rate). it is ideal for signal conversion by
transmitting the Ethernet data from the standard twisted
pair cable to the telephone cable and extending the
distance.
The Ethernet over VDSL combines the well proven
Ethernet and VDSL technology to transmit the Ethernet
format data by using VDSL signaling over the most
widespread telephone wires and has no impact to current
voice service. Therefore, it is very good for Internet building
phone line network because every room or house could
use the existing phone line to transmit data to the Internet
and the whole building could share the Internet line to the
wide area network with minimum cost.
With much enough bandwidth, the 10Mbps symmetric
capability enables many multi-media services on local
Internet come true, like VOD (Video On Demand), Internet
caching server, distance education, … and so on.
In one community or hotel, we just need to install one local
server then the multi-media services will be localized that
is people do not need to access the services through
Internet but using local area network with better bandwidth
and efficiency. Meanwhile, this kind of infrastructure will
minimize the burden on the Internet.
The converter is plug-n-play without any software to
configure and also fully compliant with all kinds of network
protocols. Moreover, the rich diagnostic LEDs on the
front-panel provide the operating status of individual port
and the whole system. There are two models of the
converters, one is used for client side and the other is
