The LB412A-KIT includes a pair of auto-rate Ethernet extenders and uses a standard 2-wire connection, which simplifies your life and provides a cost-effective network extension by enabling you to make the most of your pre-existing twisted-pair infrastructure. You'll be able to connect remote LANs across distances and at speeds previously unheard of. An auto-rate feature ensures that you achieve the highest possible speed on each connection.
It's easy to use, too. Plug-and-play means that you'll be up and running in seconds, and built-in MDI-X works with either a straight-through or crossover cables.
The pair auto senses the data rate up to 15 Mbps at a distance of 0.7 miles (1.2 km) to provide reliable broadband connectivity with full-duplex symmetric rates, with lower speeds at longer distances of up to about 6.4 miles (10.4 km). If you need even more bandwidth, the LB512A-KIT-R2 can bond as many as two pairs (4 wires) for up to 30 Mbps.
