Who are the customers for the Model 2168?
The Patton Model 2168 Multi-Rate CopperLink Ethernet
Extender enables the utilization of existing copper infrastructure
for high-speed Ethernet extensions at data rates up to 16.67
Mbps. The Model 2168 includes seven asymmetrical and
symmetrical settings, which provide the flexibility to increase the
distance or speed of the Ethernet data links.
The Model 2168 is targeted to users or service providers that
need high-speed Ethernet data links over their existing copper
infrastructure. Primary customers the Model 2168 is targeted
to include but are not limited to CLEC’s, ISP’s, Educational
Facilities (Campus), MTU/MDU’s, and corporate/government
offices. Popular applications for the CopperLink include Ethernet extension, medical imaging, videoconferencing, Ethernet Bridging, and inter-connecting remote devices or remote networks to a central
LAN. The variable symmetrical data rates ensure the highest possible data rate is achieved over
various lengths and types of copper wire and environments. Variable asymmetrical line rates make the
Model 2168 the ideal solution for service providers who want to differentiate their services or extend
the reach of their customer base. The Model 2168 allows service providers to offer unparalleled
performance for applications such as: always on Internet access, real time bi-directional video
streaming, and various multimedia applications.
Model 2168
Typical applications include:
LAN-to-LAN Bridging: The Model 2168 connects remote LANs over a high-speed, symmetrical or
asymmetrical link. The 2168/R unit is placed at the remote location and the 2168/L unit is placed at
the central or primary site to provide a LAN-to-LAN connection over a voice-grade wire. This
application will generally be made over a symmetrical link.
Ethernet Extension: The Model 2168 overcomes the 328 ft (100m) limitations of Ethernet with a
symmetrical or asymmetrical data link at distances up to 6,656 ft (2.03 km) and speeds up to 16.67
Mbps. The Model 2168 point-to-point solution does not require the use of Ethernet repeaters. This
application will generally be made over a symmetrical link.
Dedicated Internet Services: The Model 2168 CopperLink technology enables ISP’s to deliver
dedicated high-speed Internet access from a Point-of-Presence (POP) to a customer premise. A
2168/L is used at the POP and a 2168/R is used at the customer premise. The switch selectable
rates (various asymmetrical and symmetrical settings) allow the ISP’s to sell differentiated services
as well increase the number of perspective customers due to a longer reach. This application
generally will be made over an asymmetrical link.

MTU/MDU Services: Using the Model 2168 rack chassis and the standalone solution, data
services can be extended to the hotel guest, apartment resident, and housing resident, etc. Patton’s
Model 2168 CopperLink Ethernet Extenders allow service providers to avoid the cost and trouble of
wiring the individual hotel rooms with 4-wire twisted pair or Ethernet cabling by using the existing
voice-grade 2-wire infrastructure. The service provider would place the 1001R rack system with
multiple 2168RC/L rack cards and an Ethernet switch in the basement or closet and the standalone
2168/R in the individual hotel rooms. Once connected, the Model 2168 will automatically establish
a high-speed Point-to-Point data link. Bandwidth can be limited or distance increased by choosing
various asymmetrical /symmetrical data rates on the Local (L) and Remote (R) CopperLink Ethernet
Extenders. This application generally will be made over an asymmetrical link.
