FEATURES
• Extends Ethernet distance more than
a mile over 2-wire, 24 AWG unconditioned lines.
• Switch-selectable asymmetrical or
symmetrical line rates up to 16.67 Mbps.
• ME0010A-VDSL-R2 integrates voice,
video, and data over existing voicegrade copper wire and also includes
built-in POTS splitter.
• Autosenses 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T and
full or half-duplex operation.
OVERVIEW
Extend Ethernet and phone at high speeds over existing
copper wire with the Ethernet Extender.
Models are available for data and voice and for data only.
Both models provide up to 16.67 Mbps of high-speed Ethernet
services between LANs or other network-enabled devices over
a single twisted-pair cable. Regardless of which model you
order, you’ll receive two boxes: one is configured as the
customer premise line driver, the other as the central office
line driver.
These variable-rate standalone line drivers let you select
various asymmetrical and symmetrical rates to satisfy a broad
range of applications. Typical uses in symmetrical mode
include videoconferencing, interactive video, and telecommuting. Asymmetrical mode is used primarily for delivering
Internet service.
Both models operate over a twisted-pair phone cable you
already have installed, so you won’t have to recable with
CAT5e or fiber cable.
The drivers are easy to install, too. Simply plug and play,
and use the handy DIP switches to select mode and speed.
The ME0010A-VDSL-R2 features a built-in POTS/ISDN
splitter and line-sharing capabilities that allow for
simultaneous use of voice and data services. This means that
end users can download files from the Internet, surf the Web,
and answer email messages while talking on the phone or
faxing documents.
The LB200A is ideal for transferring data at high speeds.
Choose this model when you don’t need to have a voice
connection along with your data connection passed over your
2-wire, 24 AWG unconditioned line.
The extenders must be used in pairs and require one
unit for the local site (or central office) and one unit for the
remote site (customer premise) for proper operation. If you
have a data/voice model at one end of the link, you must use
another data/voice Line model at the other end of the link.
Or you can use a pair of data only models. You cannot mix
data/voice models and data-only models in one link.
If you want to take your network and voice connections
farther and faster over existing copper and eliminate the
expense of fiber, choose the Ethernet Extenders.
NOTE: The Ethernet Extenders do not require you to order DSL
service from the phone company. Instead, they use DSL technology
over your existing installed copper wire.
Send super-fast data/voice signals
over ordinary twisted-pair phone wire.

Recognize any of these situations?
• You wait more than 30 minutes to get through
to a vendor’s tech support.
• The so-called “tech” can’t help you or gives you
the wrong answer.
• You don’t have a purchase order number and the
tech refuses to help you.
• It’s 9 p. m. and you need help, but your vendor’s
tech support line is closed.
According to a survey by Data Communications
magazine, 90% of network managers surveyed say
that getting the technical support they need is extremely
important when choosing a vendor. But even though
network managers pay anywhere from 10 to 20% of their
overall purchase price for a basic service and support
contract, the technical support and service they receive falls
far short of their expectations— and certainly isn’t worth
what they paid.
At Black Box, we guarantee the best value and the
best support. You can even consult our Technical Support
Experts before you buy if you need help selecting just
the right component for your application.
