Planet VC-231G User Manual

Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter

CO mode is at central side. The CPE or CO mode can be adjusted by

using a built-in DIP switch. For point-to-point connection, a CPE mode

VC-231 and a CO mode VC-231 must be setup as one pair of converters

to perform the connection.

Provides Superior Upstream and Downstream Transmission Performance

The VC-231 also defines symmetric band plan for the transmission

of upstream and downstream signals, the band plan performs higher

transmission quality in short range for central side (CO) in symmetric

mode. In all, when the VC-231 is in profile 17a operation mode, it

High Performance Ethernet over VDSL Solution

The PLANET VC-231 is an Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter with high

performance. It is designed based on two core networking technology,

Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). The

VDSL2 technology offers absolutely fastest data transmission speed over

existing copper telephone lines without the need of rewiring. The VC-231

supports ultra-high performance to the pervasive telephone line network

with up to 100/100Mbps symmetric data rate within 300m and 50/2Mbps

for 1.4km long range connections.

Implements with Existing Telephone Copper Wires

The VC-231 is also a Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) converter providing

one RJ-45 Ethernet port and one RJ-11 phone jack that is for VDSL2

connection. By using the additional Splitter from package of VC-231, the

splitter can provide POTS splitter to share the existing phone line with

POTS; therefore it is no need of replacing the existing copper wiring. Just

plug the VC-231 with additional splitter into the existing RJ-11 telephone

jack and a high-performance VDSL2 network can be connected. The VC-

231 is ideal to be used as an Ethernet extender to an existing Ethernet

network.

provides long distance transmit with Ultra-high performance to the

pervasive telephone line network, and when the VC-231 is in 30a

operation mode, it gives short distance transmits with upstream and

downstream transmission giving wire speed performance.

Ethernet Distance Extension

Two VC-231 acting as a standalone pair is good for Ethernet distance extension over existing telephone wires. With just one pair of AWG-24 copper wire, you can easily connect two Ethernet networks together with the data rate of maximum 100/100Mbps. With the additional splitter, the telephone service can still be used while the VC-231 CO/CPE is in operation. The two solutions listed below are typical applications for the Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter.

MTU / MDU / Hospitality Solution

The VC-231 is a perfect solution to quickly provide cost-effective yet high speed network services to multi-unit buildings such as residential buildings (multi-dwelling units), commercial (multi-tenant units) buildings, hotels or hospitals. By utilizing the existing telephony infrastructure, network installation is straightforward and requires no new wiring. With up to 100/100Mbps transmission, Video on Demand, IP telephony and various broadband services can be easily provided.
