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-231 / VC-234 Ethernet Over VDSL2 Converter / Bridge

has 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-231 / VC-234 can

be set to CO mode or CPE mode via a DIP switch, when the

VC-231 / VC-234-CO is used to connect to the other VC-231 /

VC-234-CPE as a standalone pair, up to 100/100Mbps symmetric

data rate within 300m and up to 50/2Mbps asymmetric data

rate at 1.4km. This capability is ideal for use as an Ethernet

extender for your existing Ethernet network.

PLANET’s VDSL2 Converter solution provides a much cheaper

replacement and smooth migration for existing Long Reach

Ethernet (LRE) networks.

The cable specications of the connection are listed as following:

10Base-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP

100Base-TX, Category 5 UTP

Ethernet over VDSL, Twisted-pair telephone wires

The two drawings listed below are typical application for the

Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter.

Note

Slave device (CPE) must connect to Master device

(CO) through the telephone wire. Slave cannot

connect to Slave and Master cannot connect to

Master. To define the VC-231 / VC-234 to CO or

CPE, please refer to section 2.2.1 for more detail.
