The EKI-1751-AE is a Long Reach Ethernet Extender to utilize existing copper cabling infrastructure (twisted pair), extending Ethernet to up to 1200 meters over VDSL2. Applications such as IP-based Internet connections, video surveillance and voice services can benefit from the EKI-1751-AE series. The devices support VDSL2 Profiles 17a and 30a.
EKI-1751-AE is designed to work in pairs, over twisted pair; as an unmanaged product, it is easy to install and each Extender can be set to a Master (CO) or Remote (CPE) via a DIP Switch. Offering one model that can be set to a Master or Remote and operate as a pair reduces the cost of investment and minimizes inventory as well.
The Extenders support SNR Margin, VDSL2 Profile 30a(High Bandwidth Mode) or VDSL2 Profile 17a(Long Reach Mode), and Symmetric/ Asymmetric data throughput, all DIP Switch- selectable. The selection of symmetrical or asymmetrical for throughput of upstream/downstream data rates directly influences the distance covered. LEDs include link activity, VDSL status, and Central Office or Customer Premises Equipment designation.
The Extenders meet 802.3 Ethernet standards, as well as transparently supporting VLANS, 802.1q.
