CNFE2CL2MC

2 ETHERNET CHANNELS OVER EITHER 2 TWISTED PAIR OR
2 COAXIAL CABLES USING VDSL2 (EOVDSL) TECHNOLOGY

The ComNet™ CNFE2CL2MC is an environmentally hardened modem that

supports two Ethernet channels over either two twisted pair or two coaxial

cables using VDSL2 technology, at data rates of up to 90 Mbps. Ethernet data

may be transmitted over a telephone-grade twisted copper pair, legacy serial

cabling, or standard 75 ohm coaxial cable circuits, making this rugged unit

ideal for those applications where it is desired to utilize an existing installed

base of copper wiring for Ethernet transmission. These modems are the

perfect solution for upgrading a legacy twisted copper or coaxial cable plant

for use with Ethernet, when compared to the significant costs of installing new

network cabling.

The fastest usable data rate is automatically selected, depending upon the

transmission distance and cable quality. The CNFE2CL2MC may be deployed in

most out-of-plant installations, such as those found in intelligent transportation

systems and factory automation/control applications. LED status indicators are

provided for rapidly ascertaining the operating status of the modem and the link.

See Figures 1 – 6 for complete installation details.

The CNFE2CL2MC standard size unit may be directly plugged into the ComNet

Rack (Part C1) or operated as a standalone module. See Page 4 for mounting

instructions.
