Product Announcement from Patton Electronics Co.
Patton's CopperLink™ 2173R utilizes pre-existing twisted-pair infrastructure-previously underlying such legacy systems as TTL, RS232 and 422/485-to extend network range while interconnecting Ethernet devices.
By employing a pair of 2173Rs, or combining the 2173R with a desktop-style 2173, twisted pair can carry an extraordinary bandwidth of 155 Mbps full-duplex (upstream plus downstream). Reusing existing copper infrastructure for Ethernet eliminates the cost of expensive fiber and/or Cat5E or greater cabling. Most importantly, it avoids the downtime and hassle of installing new cable.
The 2173R operates in harsh environments where temperatures may range from -40 to 85°C. The 2173R's sturdy aluminum case mounts quickly on a wall or DIN rail (with optional DIN rail kit).
Features
- Operates Over Twisted Pair-Reduces the cost and hassles of new installations. Utilizes installed voice-grade twisted pairs to eliminate the expense of fiber or Cat5e cabling.
- Plug and Play-No configuration or cable hassles during installation with auto-sensing 10/100, full or half duplex, and auto MDI-X Ethernet ports.
- Full-duplex data-line rate of 155 Mbps-Provides near fiber performance for bandwidth intensive applications.
- Ruggedized-Operating temperature of -40 to 85°C.
- Flexible installation-Wall-mount ready and an optional DIN rail mounting kit is available.
Example Application: Work Group Ethernet Extension
The Model 2173R multi-rate Ethernet Extenders are ideal for delivering Ethernet links to remote buildings located beyond the 328-foot (100-meter) distance limit of Ethernet. The 100 Mbps throughput capability eliminates bandwidth concerns previously experienced with other copper-wire transmission technologies. By utilizing existing voice-grade copper pairs, the expense and hassle of installing low capacitance or fiber cable is no longer required.
