1.2 Introduction to Ethernet over VDSL2 Bridge

Data Connect's state-of-the-art ethernet-over-VDSL2 products are
based on two core networking technologies: Ethernet and
VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). This
technology offers the absolute fastest possible data transmission
speeds over existing copper telephone lines without the need for
rewiring.

The 2178HSEE & HSEE4 Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter / Bridge
has switching architecture with RJ-45 10/100Mbps Ethernet port
and one symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (symmetry means
upstream and downstream rate are the same or similar) – the
VDSL port can beRJ-11connectors. The 2178HSEE & HSEE4 can
be set to CO mode or CPE mode via a DIP switch, when the

2178HSEE / HSEE4-COisusedto connecttotheother 2178HSEE /
HSEE4 CPE as a standalone pair, up to 100/100Mbps symmetric
data rate within 300m and up to 50/2Mbps asymmetric data

rate at 1.4km. This capability is ideal for use as an Ethernet
extender for your existing Ethernet network.

Data Connect's VDSL2 Converter solution provides a much cheaper
replacement and smooth migration for existing Long Reach
Ethernet (LRE) networks.

The cable specications of the connection are listed as following:

10Base-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP
100Base-TX, Category 5 UTP
Ethernet over VDSL, Twisted-pair telephone wires

The two drawings listed below are typical application for the
Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter.

Note

Slave device (CPE) must connect to Master device
(CO) through the telephone wire. Slave cannot
connect to Slave and Master cannot connect to
Master. To definethe2178HSEE / HSEE4 to CO or
CPE, please refer to section 2.2.1 for more detail.
