1.2 Introduction to Ethernet over VDSL2 Bridge
PLANET’s state-of-the-art Ethernet-over-VDSL2 products are
based on two core networking technologies: Ethernet and
VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). This
technology offers the absolute fastest possible data transmission
speeds over existing copper telephone lines without the need for
rewiring.
The VC-201A / VC-204 Ethernet Over VDSL2 Converter has a
switching architecture with RJ-45 10/100Mbps Ethernet port
and one symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (symmetry means
upstream and downstream rate are the same or similar) – the
VDSL port can be RJ-11 connectors. The VC-201A / VC-204 can
be set to CO mode or CPE mode via a DIP switch. When the
VC-20X-CO is used to connect to the other VC-20X-CPE as a
standalone pair, up to 100/55Mbps asymmetric data rate within
200m and up to 25/4Mbps asymmetric data rate at 1.6km.
This capability is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender for your
existing Ethernet network.
