VC-234 – Planet 4-Port 100mbps Ethernet over VDSL2 Bridge (Profile 30a)
Part Number:
VC-234
Categories Ethernet Extenders, Ethernet over 2 Wire, Media Converters
Tag 4 Port
Brand: Planet
Planet VC-234 is an Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Bridge designed on two core networking technology, Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). It offers absolutely fastest data transmission speed over existing copper telephone lines without the need of rewiring. The VC-234 supports ultra-high performance to the pervasive telephone line network with up to 100/100Mbps symmetric data rate within 300m and 20/4Mbps for 1.4km long range connections.
