High-Speed Ethernet Extender Kit

Product Highlights

• Use a single voice-grade twisted-pair cable to extend your network at greater distances without forgoing speed or having to use CAT5e or fiber cabling.
• Distances up to 6000 feet (1828.8 m).
• Ideal for extending 10-/100-Mbps links to remote buildings, those beyond the 328-foot (100-m) limit of Ethernet.

Features

• Offers data rates up to 50 Mbps in each direction for an aggregated full-duplex speed of 100 Mbps.
• Switch-selectable line rates—choose the optimal speed for a particular application.
• Asymmetric or symmetric operation.
• Great for bandwidth-intensive applications, with performance approximating that of fiber.
• Interconnect remote devices or networks to a central LAN for videoconferencing, VoIP calling, Ethernet bridging, or provisioning broadband triple-play (Internet, TV, and telephone) services.
• Simple to install, and there's no configuration or complex cabling to deal with.
• Autodetects 10-/100-Mbps connections, autonegotiating full- or half-duplex.
• Auto MDI-X detects the link's pinning, so you can use straight or cross-pinned cables.
• Bridges LANs transparently, passing higher layer protocols. Also supports 802.1Q VLAN tagged and untagged traffic.
• Configure each extender in the kit as a local or remote unit with a slide of a switch.
