MTU/MDU Services: Using the Model 2168 rack chassis and the standalone solution, data
services can be extended to the hotel guest, apartment resident, and housing resident, etc. Patton’s
Model 2168 CopperLink Ethernet Extenders allow service providers to avoid the cost and trouble of
wiring the individual hotel rooms with 4-wire twisted pair or Ethernet cabling by using the existing
voice-grade 2-wire infrastructure. The service provider would place the 1001R rack system with
multiple 2168RC/L rack cards and an Ethernet switch in the basement or closet and the standalone
2168/R in the individual hotel rooms. Once connected, the Model 2168 will automatically establish
a high-speed Point-to-Point data link. Bandwidth can be limited or distance increased by choosing
various asymmetrical /symmetrical data rates on the Local (L) and Remote (R) CopperLink Ethernet
Extenders. This application generally will be made over an asymmetrical link.
