1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the VC-412 VDSL Managerial Switch for your MDU Solution.

PLANET has been on the forefront of VDSL (Very High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line)

technologies since their inception, and will always strive to create quality, cost-effective

solutions for VDSL users and installers.

Fiber all the way to the home (FTTH) is very expensive therefore another alternative is a

combination of fiber cables to Optical Network Units (ONUs) or otherwise called the Fiber

to the Neighborhood (FTTN) as the connection point between fiber and existing or new

copper wire.

One of the enabling technologies for FTTN is Very high rate Digital

Subscriber Line, or VDSL. In simple terms, VDSL transmits high speed data over short

reaches of twisted-pair copper telephone lines, with a range of speeds depending upon

actual line length.

By choosing the VC-412 VDSL Managerial Switch, you have enabled your network to

have the superb speed and manageability. VC-412 offers 12 VDSL ports, 12 POTS/ISDN

ports and 4 Ethernet ports for your VDSL solutions.
