VC-202A
Coaxial Extender
Ethernet Distance extension via Coaxial
PLANET VC-202A is the high-performance Ethernet-over-Coaxial extender
that converts between twisted pair (UTP) and coaxial cable for every kind
of IP Ethernet application. It offers the absolutely fastest data transmission
speed over existing coaxial cable without the need of rewiring. On the
UTP side, the VC-202A uses a modular EIA / TIA 568 RJ-45 connector
that supports CAT-5/5e or above wiring with the distance up to 100
meters (328 feet). On the coaxial cable side, the VC-202A utilizes a BNC
connector that supports 50ohm or 75ohm coaxial cable with the distance
up to 3km. It is ideal for extending the distance and signal conversion by
transmitting the Ethernet data from the coaxial cable for any type of IP
network device such as IP camera, wireless access point, NVR and digital
signage.
The VC-202A equips one RJ-45 and one BNC Port to transmit the
Ethernet data over the most widespread coaxial cable. Therefore, it is very
suitable and costless for upgrading legacy devices to new digital devices of
IP-based network because almost every house or block on the street could
use the existing coaxial cable to transmit data to the Internet and the
whole building could share the Internet line in the wide network area with
minimum cost. Reuse the existing cable instead of new wire can save extra
wiring cost as the coaxial cable and Ethernet line are already available.
Easy Installation
There are two selectable models of the VC-202A, one is used for client
side (CPE) and the other is for central side (CO). The VC-202A converter is
a plug and play device without the need of configuring by software and
is also compliant with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the rich
diagnostic LEDs on the front-panel show the operating status of individual
port and the whole system.
Provides Superior Upstream and Downstream Transmission
The VC-202A defines asymmetric (Plan 998) and symmetric mode for the
transmission of upstream and downstream signals. The symmetric mode
provides similar transmission rate on both downstream and upstream.
On the other hand, the asymmetric mode performs higher transmission
quality in short range for central side (CO). In all, when the VC-202A is in
symmetric mode, it provides better upstream performance, and when it is
in asymmetric mode, it gives better downstream performance.

Applications
Community / Campus Surveillance and Security over IP
To take advantage of digital surveillance system and keep the benefits of coaxial cable, the VC-202A helps the community, campus and enterprises
to upgrade analog camera system to IP camera surveillance without using additional new wires. The Extender is a switching architecture with one
RJ-45 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet port and one BNC Ethernet over Coaxial port. Just plug-in the UTP cable of IP camera to Ethernet port and the
existing coaxial cable to the BNC connector. It is easy to deploy and extend the distance with signal conversion by transmitting the Ethernet data
from the standard coaxial cable. Furthermore, with high transmit data rate, the VC-202A solution supports multiple IP cameras input for sharing in
one coaxial cable to reduce the cost of cabling.

Applications
MTU / MDU / Hospitality Solution
IPTV, VOD and digital message broadcasting services are the worldwide hot trends, and more and more service providers have upgraded the client
side devices from analog system to digital system gradually. The VC-202A will be the best solution because it provides cost-effective and high
speed network services by utilizing the existing coaxial cable infrastructure. IP network installation is straightforward. With enough bandwidth, the
100/100Mbps symmetric capability of VC-202A makes many Multi-Media services on local Internet come true, such as VOD (Video on Demand),
Voice over IP, Video phone, IPTV, distance education, and so on. It satisfies most of entertainment and communication layer. Meanwhile, this kind of
infrastructure also minimizes the burden on the Internet.
