1-Port Coax Ethernet Extender Kit
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The LBNC01A-KIT, a VDSL2 (Very high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) Coax Ethernet Extender, provides broadband transmission
rates up to 100-/60-Mbps downstream/upstream over coaxial cable for point-to-point Ethernet connectivity. It extends 10BASE-T/
100BASE-TX Ethernet across RG-6 cable (TV coax cable) (75 ohm). The extenders are a cost-effective line power solution for high-
bandwidth applications such as LAN-to-LAN connectiivity, video streaming, FTTB, and MDU/MTU.
The LBNC01A-KIT supports transmission distances up to 500 feet (154.2 m) for line power connection at 100-/60-Mbps down-
stream/upstream, and up to 4000 feet (1219 m) at 28-/0.3-Mbps downstream/upstream. You can select a fixed data rate or a
fixed SNR margin for different coaxial cable ranging. Dual autosensing, autonegotiating 10-/100-Mbps Ethernet ports enable you
to send two separate Ethernet streams over the same VDSL2 link.
With plug-and-play features and minimum installation time, you can configure the LBNC01A-KIT as either master for the
central side or slave for the remote side via DIP switches. The LBNC01A-KIT conforms to the ITU-T G.993.1 and G.993.2 to meet
VDSL/VDSL2 and SG15Q4 DMT for network requirements.
2.2 Features
• ITU-T G.993.1, G.993.2 VDSL/VDSL2, and SG15Q4 DMT compliant
• 100-/60-Mbps downstream/upstream up to 500 feet (152.4 m)
• 28-/0.3-Mbps downstream/upstream up to 4000 feet (1219 m)
• Provides line surge protection
• (1) BNC connector for cable interfaces plus (2) RJ-45 for (2) Ethernet LAN connections
• (4) DIP switches for central side and remote side configuration settings
• Trellis coding support for up to 1024 discrete multitone (DMT) bins
• Auto MDI-X for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN, so you don’t need a crossover cable on the Ethernet side
• Low latency for video/voice/data applications
• Selectable Fast and Interleaved modes
• Selectable fixed data rate and fixed SNR margin

3. Installation
Because the LBNC01A-KIT is preconfigured for basic applications, you can install it quickly. Follow these steps:
1. Connect the line interface between the units via BNC coaxial cable.
2. Connect the Ethernet interface.
3. Connect the power plug.
CAUTION: Verify that the AC-DC adapter conforms to your country’s AC power requirements and then insert the power plug.
NOTE: The interconnecting cables should be acceptable for external use and rated for the proper application considering voltage,
current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
Table 3-1 shows the data rate and transmission distance information via coax cable.

4. DIP Switches
Table 4-1 describes the DIP switches used to configure the extender.
Table 4-1. DIP switches and their functions.
SW-1: CO/Remote
Off: VDSL2 1-Port Coax Ethernet Extender will act as the Central Office (CO) or master side.
On: VDSL2 1-Port Coax Ethernet Extender will act as the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) or remote side.
SW-2: Mode for impulse noise protection
Off: Interleaved mode provides impulse noise protection for any impulse noise with a duration less than 250 µs.
Interleaved mode has a maximum end-to-end latency of 10 ms. Interleaved mode is the default mode.
On: Fast mode guarantees a minimum end-to-end latency less than 1 ms.
SW-3: Rate limit control
Off: Line rate limited to 50/20 Mbps.
On: Provides up to 100-/60-Mbps line rate.
SW-4: Signal-to-noise ratio (SNR)
Off: Higher SNR margin (9 dB) will result in fewer errors with a more stable VDSL link.
On: Original and normal channel noise protection with 6 dB SNR.
