Black Box LR0201A-KIT 2-Port Managed Ethernet Extender Kit

Black Box LR0201A-KIT G.SHDSL Two-Wire Ethernet Network Extender

Forget sluggish Ethernet extenders. This LR0201A-KIT G.SHDSL Two-Wire Ethernet Network Extender provides broadband speeds of up to 5.696 Mbps. On 26 AWG wire it provides 5.696 Mbps at distances up to 7000 feet, 4.608 Mbps at up to 10,000 feet, and 192 kbps at up to 22,500 feet - that's more than four miles! The top speed of 5.696 Mbps is enough speed to support VoIP, Web hosting, even video teleconferencing - and far greater performance than you can expect with older DSL standards such as SDSL. The extender has a rate-adaptive setting to provide the maximum data rate supported by line conditions, or you can choose a fixed speed.

The LR0201A-KIT enables you to extend your Ethernet network over a single pair of virtually any grade of UTP cable, so you save money by using phone wire or older CAT3 cable you may already have installed. It's ideal for use across spare pairs of wire on 25- or 50-pair trunk cables installed in many buildings to support phone systems. This kind of cable usually has most pairs unused and available to extend your Ethernet network. Dual Ethernet connections enable you to combine two separate Ethernet data streams over the same G.SHDSL link.

The extender is easy to install - there's a console port for management - and the extender is transparent to data, so it's literally plug-and-play. It extends 2 ports 10/100Mbps Ethernet RJ45 over copper or CATx line interface, RJ48. The kit includes 2 extenders for near-end (local) far-end (remote) deployment. Typical applications include Enterprise LAN extension and campus LAN expansion.

This kit includes a pair of auto-rate Ethernet extenders, using 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. This 2 port 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet Extender uses G-SHDSL technology to provide an easy, inexpensive way to extend the reach of your Ethernet network over ordinary voice-grade copper wire. Devices include internal 90-240VAC power supplies. The management interface is a console port.
