Patton electronic 2156, 2157 User Manual
L
AN extension doesn’t have to be expen-
sive or difficult. Patton’s Model 2156 and
Model 2157 Series of auto-rate Ethernet
Extenders open the door to low-cost and easy
set-up LAN extension. The LAN Extenders are
easy to use and take advantage of existing
copper twisted-pair infrastructure to connect
LANs at high speed and over long distances.
The Model 2156 can connect at speeds up to
2.3 Mbps with distances ranging from 5.3 to
9.4 km (3.3 to 5.8 miles) on standard 0.5 mm
(24 AWG) voice-grade twisted pair. The
Model 2157 can connect at speeds up to 4.6
Mbps over distances ranging from 3.3 to 9.4
km (2.1 to 5.8 miles) on standard 0.5 mm
(24 AWG) voice-grade twisted pair.
Whether connecting corporate LANs or
remote offices, Patton Ethernet Extenders
offer the best combination of speed and dis-
tance in the industry. Other LAN extenders
operate at a single rate or are difficult to con-
figure for LANs located at different distances,
but the CopperLink Ethernet Extenders’ auto-
rate adaptation feature ensures that users get
the highest speed possible for the distances
they are trying to reach. Patton Ethernet
Extenders come with a built-in MDI-X switch,
which simplifies connection to LANs or PCs
since it works correctly with a straight-
through cable or a cross-over cable. Set-up is
easy, just connect the Ethernet port cable and
the copper twisted-pair to the Extenders, then
apply power! Patton CopperLink Auto-rate
Ethernet Extenders are the perfect fit for cost-
effective simple and efficient LAN extension!

Patton’s CopperLink Auto-Rate Ethernet Extenders
are the perfect fit for simple, cost-effective high
speed Ethernet Extension. They allow customers to
take advantage of the existing copper infrastructure
to connect remote LAN’s across distances and at
speeds previously unthought-of. The auto-rate feature ensures the highest speed is achieved on each
connection, and the plug-n-play operation ensures
they are up and running in seconds. Add in the
auto-sensing full/half duplex 10/100Base-T
Ethernet port and the integrated crossover switch
to make setup even easier, and the value of these
Ethernet Extenders can’t be beat!
• Auto-Rate Feature
The advanced auto-rate algorithm automatically
determines the best possible rate for each connec
tion and sets up each extender without any need for
user interface.
• Plug-and-Play
Just unpack the extenders, plug them into each end
of the extension, power them up, and they are up
and running. It doesn’t get any easier!
• High Speed/Long Reach
These Ethernet Extenders provide the best combination of speed and distance seen anywhere in the
industry !
The Auto-rate feature ensures
that the best combination of
speed and distance is achieved
for each LAN extension
