Extend Ethernet over twisted pair |
Extend an Ethernet link over category 5e, 6 and 7 cabling up to 10,000 feet ( 3 km ) |
Extend Ethernet over Coaxial cable |
Extend an Ethernet link over 75 ohm coaxial cable |
On-board PoE Power Controller |
As a fully compliant IEEE 802.3at
PSE end-span device, this Ethernet Extender’s PoE power controller
provides compliant power provisioning and monitoring, properly sensing
through signature detection whether or not the attach Ethernet devices
are PoE capable or not. This provides a safe connection for both PoE and
Non-PoE capable devices.
Competitive PoE Ethernet Extender
products operate as a simple passive power injector and will always
apply power to RJ45 port pins which may result in damage if non-PoE
compliant Ethernet devices are accidently attached.

Advanced Power capabilities |
- ALT A/B and legacy PoE RJ45 pin selection
- Current limiting protection
- Remote PD reset
|
Fully compliant 802.3af PoE and 802.3at POE+ PSE |
- Enable/Disable PSE power
- PD signature detection
- Over-Current Protection
- PD power classification detection ( Class 0,1,2,3,4 )
|
Fully Compliant 802.3af/at PoE PD |
Only PoE Ethernet Extender solution
that provides a Class 0 or 4 signature to PSE for proper operation with
PSE equipment such as Cisco PoE switches.
Competitive PoE Ethernet extender
solutions cannot be powered by Cisco PoE switches as they cannot provide
the necessary PoE PD signature required by the switch. Without this,
the switch will not supply power at all. |
PSE Status Indicator |
A multi-color LED provided presents the status of the PSE function for easy troubleshooting of power over Ethernet connections |
PD Power Reset ( Port 1 ) |
Ideal for remotely resetting
equipment, this configurable function performs a momentary power reset
to the attached Powered Device (PD) on Port #1.

Power Multiplier Selection |
When used with 4-pair cable such as
CAT5 on the VDSL Interlink port, an optional internal strap selection on
the Ethernet Extender will provide VDSL transmission data on 1 pair and
power across the 3 other pairs enabling even greater distances for
power transmission to be achieved. |
Broadest range of PoE devices supported |
Support is included for a broad range of PD ( Powered Devices )
- IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at PoE/PoE+ ( Alternative A and B )
- Legacy High Capacitance PDs
- Cisco legacy VoIP phones and Wireless Access Points
|
Hi-Speed Performance |
Utilizes second generation VDSL2
technology ( ITU-T Recommendation G.993. ). When operating under
“Profile 30a”, Perle Ethernet Extenders can provide an aggregate VDSL
line rate capability of up to 200 mbps.
Actual distance and performance
may vary depending on the type / gauge and condition of the wire used
and if required, the amount of power you require across the VDSL Link |
Plug and Play operation |
Perle Ethernet Extenders will
automatically configure your VDSL interlink connection. The CO/CPE peer
association will be determined automatically by the Ethernet Extender.
No need to set CO / CPE VDSL pairing.
Once a connection is made, both ends
will automatically adjust relevant VDSL parameters to optimize the level
of bandwidth possible across the copper link. |
Link Pass-Through* |
With Link Pass-Through the state of
the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection is “passed through” the VDSL
link to the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection on its remote peer. A
managed switch on the remote end can then report the state (link up or
link down) to its network management system so that any errors can be
detected and recovered early.
Competitive Ethernet extenders without this feature will never detect or report any error conditions. |
Interlink Fault Feedback* |
Similar to the Link Pass-Through
feature, a loss of VDSL link will drop the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on
each end until the link recovers. |
Auto-Negotiation |
The Ethernet Extender supports auto negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T interface. |
Auto-MDIX |
Auto-MDIX (Automatic
Medium-Dependent Interface crossover) detects the signaling on the
10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ45 interface and determines the type of cable
connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically adopts a
compatible pinout. |
Fixed Speed and Duplex |
Some Ethernet equipment require a
fixed speed and duplex be used or cannot auto-negotiate. By disabling
Auto-Negotiation on the Ethernet Extender, a fixed speed of 10 or 100
mbps as well as Full or half Duplex can be configured through DIP
switches. |
VLAN |
Transparent to tagged VLAN ( 802.1Q ) packets. |
Transparent to IP Video compression protocols |
Fully transparent to such IP video compression schemes such as MPEG-4, H.264 and MJPEG. |
Power Strain Relief strap |
A strain relief strap is provided to
ensure a solid and secure power connection to the Ethernet Extender.
Ideal for areas that may be exposed to vibration. |
Loopback |
When enabled, will perform a loopback on the copper VDSL Interlink. |
