Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Extender over VDSL2 (very high-bit-rate digital
subscriber line) provides a broadband transmission up to 100-/60-Mbps
downstream/upstream data rates over a single twisted-pair copper line for
point-to-point Ethernet. At 100-/60-Mbps data rates, the extender supports
transmission distances up to 984.2 feet (300 meters), and provides a
30-/10-Mbps data rate for a 3280 feet (1 km) connection. Users may also select
a fixed data rate or a fixed SNR margin for different copper line ranging.
With plug-and-play features and minimum installation time, you can configure
each extender for either CO for central side or RT for remote side by setting DIP
switches. The extender conforms to ITU-T G.993.1 and G.993.2 to meet VDSL/
VDSL2 and SG15Q4 DMT standards for network requirements. Use a pair of
extenders for bandwidth-hungry applications such as LAN-to-LAN connectivity,
video streaming, FTTB, and MDU/MTU over a single twisted-pair telephone line.
2.2 Features
• Complies with ITU-T G.993.1, G.993.2 VDSL/VDSL2 and SG15Q4 DMT
standards.
• Enables 100-/60-Mbps downstream/upstream speeds for distances up to
984.2 feet (300 meters).
• Supports VDSL2 connections up to 6561.6 feet (2000 meters).
• Supports Annex A, B, or C for internal splitter (option).
• Protects against line surges.
• Has (1) RJ-11 connector or (1) three-pin terminal block for DSL link.
• Includes (1) RJ-11 connector for PHONE or POTS interface.
• Has (1) RJ-45 connector for Ethernet LAN port.
• Includes four LED Indicators.
• Provides (4) DIP switches for configuration settings.
• Supports Trellis coding up to 1024 Discrete Multi-Tone (DMT) bins.
• Uses Auto MDI-X for the 10/100BASE-T Ethernet LAN port.
• Has low-latency for video/voice/data applications.

Chapter 2: Overview
• You can select Fast and Interleaved modes: Fast mode guarantees a minimum
end-to-end latency less than 1 ms. Interleaved mode provides impulse noise
protection for any impulse noise with a duration less than 250 us. Interleaved
mode has a maximum end-to-end latency of 10 ms. Interleaved mode is the
default mode.
• You can also select fixed data rate and fixed SNR margin: Choose fixed SNR
margin (9 dB) or fixed target data rate. When fixed SNR margin is selected, the
systems will maintain the SNR margin at 9 dB across all available loop length.
When fixed target data rate is selected, the system will lock the data rate at
50-/20-Mbps whenever the calculated SNR margin is higher than 9 dB. This will
result in the best system stability and is the default mode.
2.3 What’s Included
Your package should contain the following items. If anything is missing or
