2172
50-Mbps Ethernet Extender
Patton’s CopperLink
2172 breaks distance and speed barriers with up to 50-Mbps full-duplex and
distances of up to 6,000 feet (1,830 meters). Now a single twisted-pair can go
the distance without sacrificing speed or cost

Overview |
The CopperLink
Model 2172 Ultra-High-Speed Ethernet Extender leverages existing copper
infrastructure to deliver high-speed Ethernet extension. Providing data rates up
to 50 Mbps in each direction for an aggregated full-duplex speed of 100 Mbps,
the Model 2172 is the perfect solution for delivering triple-play communications
services and other bandwidth-intensive applications. CopperLink Ethernet
Extenders easily inter-connect remote devices or remote networks to a central
LAN for such applications as medical imaging, video-conferencing, Ethernet
bridging, Triple Play, and VoIP
Six user-selectable settings for symmetrical and asymmetrical rates provide the
flexibility required to achieve the optimal speed-distance combination for each
and every connection. Multi-rate symmetrical line rates allow each connection to
be tuned for the length and gauge of the copper wire, in order to achieve the
maximum possible data rate for the environment. Multi-rate asymmetrical line
rates make the Model 2172 the ideal solution for service providers who want to
differentiate their services or extend the reach of their customer base.

Workgroup Ethernet extension application |
The Model 2172
multi-rate Ethernet Extenders are ideal for delivering Ethernet links to remote
buildings that are beyond the 328-foot (100-meter) distance limit of Ethernet.
The 100 Mbps throughput eliminates bandwidth concerns previously experienced
with other copper wired transmission technologies. By utilizing existing voice
grade copper pairs the expense and hassle of installing low capacitance or fiber
cable is no longer required.
