The ComNet™ VDSL3 consists of one each 10/100TX 8-por t managed switch, one
each 2-channel EoVDSL uplink modem, and a mounting chassis, to easily and
inexpensively aggregate Ethernet-enabled equipment at remote field locations
back to a central or head-end location over existing copper infrastructure. The
VDSL3 is 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. Utilizing the latest generation VDSL2 technology for the
fastest data rate and greatest transmission distance, any standard telephone-grade
twisted copper pair, legacy serial cabling, or standard 75Ω coaxial cable may be
used. The easily configured 10/100 Mbps 8-port managed switch accommodates
up to six Ethernet-compatible devices, with the other two ports allocated to the
2-channel EoVDSL uplink modem. The VDSL3 may be deployed in most out-of­plant installations, such as those found in intelligent transportation systems and
factory automation/control applications.

FEATURES

› Designed as a very low-cost and simple to implement

solution for drop-and-repeat Ethernet-over-copper
transmission circuits

› Provides greater flexibility and the same functionality

as drop-and-repeat EoVDSL managed switches costing
considerably more

› Latest generation VDSL2 technology for fastest data rate

and greatest transmission distance

› Modular, Field-Expandable Design: Supports more than

one EoVDSL channel by adding additional 2-channel
EoVDSL uplink modems

› Uses telephone-grade twisted copper pair, legacy serial

cabling, or standard 75Ω coaxial cable circuits to create
a drop-and-repeat/point-to-multipoint Ethernet-based
network

› Ideal for those applications where an existing installed

base of copper wiring is available.

› Automatically selects fastest usable data rate, depending

upon the copper circuit transmission distance and cable
quality.

› Transmission Distances of up to 1.8 mi (3 km) between

drops over twisted copper, or up to 1500 ft (457 m)
between drops over coaxial cable

› Designed for installation in harsh out-of-plant/

unconditioned industrial or roadside operating
environments (-40º to +75º C ambient). Fully compliant
with the environmental requirements of NEMA TS-2 for
Traffic Signal Control Equipment

› Natural convection cooling; no fans or air filters for the

highest level of reliability, and zero periodic maintenance

› 120/240 VAC power supply included. The VDSL3 may also

be operated from an external source of +12 to +27 VDC.

› 5 Year Warranty

APPLICATIONS

› Industrial Security:

∙ Ethernet-compatible access control systems, intercom

systems, and IP-compatible CCTV camera surveillance
networks

∙ VOIP (Voice over IP) telephony networks

› ITS/Transportation:

∙ Connecting Ethernet-based traffic signal controller units onto

an existing twisted copper pair or coaxial cable circuit

∙ Video Detection Systems (VDS) for analyzing traffic flow

patterns and disturbances
