Patton CopperLink CL1212 Ethernet Extender to 1.8 Miles (3 km), 2 Fast Ethernet Ports

Patton CopperLink CL1212 High-Speed Fast Ethernet Extender up to 1.8 Miles, 168 Mbps Speed

Patton Electronics’ CopperLink CL1212 Ethernet extender family combines data flows from up to four network-enabled devices onto a single twisted pair or coax cable. It delivers IP traffic up to 1.8 miles (3 km) away, well beyond the standard 328-foot (100-meter) Ethernet distance limitation. With achievable line rates up to 168 Mbps, the CopperLink CL1212 eliminates the bandwidth constraints commonly experienced with other copper-based transmission technologies.

The Model 1212 is engineered to re-use existing legacy infrastructure employed in applications such as alarm circuits, E1/T1 circuits, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CCTV, and CATV. Newer cabling standards such as Cat 5e, Cat 6, and Cat 7 are also supported. A built-in 2-port Ethernet switch makes the CopperLink Model CL1212 ideal for delivering multiple IP streams over a single cable. For example, at a guardhouse or security kiosk, you could aggregate IP data from computers, sensors, and high-resolution IP video cameras over a single Ethernet connection for simultaneous long-distance transmission.

Key Features

• Extend Ethernet distance to 1.8 miles (3 km) at high-speed
• Single unshielded twisted pair (UTP) or Cat 5e/6/7 cable
• Requires two CL1212 devices
• Realize fiber-optic speeds (168 Mbps downstream) without the expense of fiber
• 2 Fast Ethernet (10/100TX) ports with auto-sensing for full or half-duplex operation
• Transparent LAN bridging, bypass network configuration requirements by transparently passing all high layer protocols (including tagged and untagged 802.1Q VLAN frames)
• Switch-selectable line rates to optimize speed for the noise environment, wire gauge/type, and length
• Select RJ45 or terminal block connections
• AC (100 to 240 VAC) power adapter included
• Operating temperature from -40 to 85°C
• Plug-and-play, no configuration is required
