Patton 2172R User Manual

T

he Patton Model 2172R utilizes pre­existing twisted pair infrastructure

enabling twisted pair previously used
for legacy systems such as TTL, RS232
and 422/485 to be used for extending or
connect Ethernet devices together. With a
pair of 2172R’s or combined with a 2172,
twisted pair can carry an extraordinary
bandwidth of 100 Mbps full-duplex (50
Mbps up and downstream). Reusing the
already existing infrastructure for Ethernet
Networking eliminates the cost of purchas­ing expensive fiber and Cat5E or greater
cabling. Most importantly, it completely

eliminates the hassle and sometimes over­whelming expense and downtime of the
cable installations.

The 2172R was designed to operate in a
rugged environment, with temperature
ranges from -10 to 70°C, and the option for
conformal coating protecting the device
from condensing humidity, and operates at ­10 to 80°C. The 2172R’s aluminum case
design allows for users to conveniently
mount them either on a wall or DIN.

Patton’s 2172R extends Ethernet connections at distances up to 5,500 feet over already existing serial infrastruc­ture cabling

The Model 2172R multi-rate Ethernet Extenders are ideal for delivering
Ethernet links to remote buildings that are beyond the 328-foot (100-meter)
distance limit of Ethernet. The 100 Mbps throughput eliminates bandwidth

concerns previously experienced with other copper wired transmission tech­nologies. By utilizing existing voice grade copper pairs the expense and has­sle of installing low capacitance or fiber cable is no longer required.
