Small Form-Factor Pluggable
Long Reach Ethernet over VDSL2
SFP-VDSL
OVER VDSL
The ComNet SFP-VDSL small form-factor pluggable Ethernet extender modules
improve bandwidth and distance of Ethernet over existing VDSL2 technology. It helps
avoid installation costs of new fiber lines on site and can extend Ethernet service on
UTP wire with distance up to 3,000 meters. Full Duplex 100 Mbps speed can reach up
to 400 meters over standard Cat 5e 2-wire cable. The symmetric profile can be used
for standard Ethernet connections or the asymmetric profile can support high traffic
flow in a single direction.
Housed in a small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module enclosure, it is designed for
plug-and-play installation into any 1000BASE-FX Ethernet unit with an MSA-compliant
port. These must be used in pairs, with a the SFP-VDSLA module installed at one end
and the SFP-VDSLB installed in the other.
FEATURES
› Extends Ethernet* up to 1.8 mi (3 km) at 10 Mbps or 1,300
feet (400 m) at 100 Mbps over Cat 5e 2-wire cable.
› Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) module can be plugged
into any Ethernet switch with SFP ports that support
1000BASE-FX
› Designed to meet full compliance with the environmental
requirements (ambient operating temperature, mechanical
shock, vibration, humidity with condensation, high-line/lowline voltage conditions and transient voltage protection) of
NEMA TS-1/TS-2 and the Caltrans Specification for Traffic
Signal Control Equipment.
› Lifetime Warranty
†
APPLICATIONS
› Retrofit existing VDSL2 installations to Ethernet-based
systems
› Metering, Transportation, Outdoor Wi-Fi Access Points, IP
Surveillance
* Distance figures are obtained using in-house testing mirroring
installations. Factors such as cable quality, the number of connectors
and splices in the cable run, and environmental conditions
encountered within the installation might affect the actual transmission
distance and should be taken into consideration.

SFP-VDSL
Small Form-Factor Pluggable
Long Reach Ethernet over VDSL2
INSTALLATION & OPERATION
SFP-VDSL is a book-end solution that can work only with an additional SFP-VDSL.
Follow the instructions below to install and connect SFP-VDSL:
Plug one of the two SFP-VDSL into the 100BASE-FX SFP slot of a MSA-compliant
device/switch. Repeat this step for the second SFP-VDSL in the pair.
Connection
Connect SFP-VDSL devices using a twisted 2-wire cable (use pins 4 & 5). Always
connect SFP-VDSLA to a SFP-VDSLB. If a SFP-VDSL was connected to a regular port
of any Ethernet device, such as a switch, reset the SFP-VDSL by unplugging and
re-inserting the unit.
Link synchronization may take up to one minute.
