Cable Extenders

The EKI-1751-AE is a Long Reach Ethernet Extender to utilize existing copper cabling infrastructure (twisted pair), extending Ethernet to up to 1200 meters over VDSL2. Applications such as IP-based Internet connections, video surveillance and voice services can benefit from the EKI-1751-AE series. The devices support VDSL2 Profiles 17a and 30a.

EKI-1751-AE is designed to work in pairs, over twisted pair; as an unmanaged product, it is easy to install and each Extender can be set to a Master (CO) or Remote (CPE) via a DIP Switch. Offering one model that can be set to a Master or Remote and operate as a pair reduces the cost of investment and minimizes inventory as well.

The Extenders support SNR Margin, VDSL2 Profile 30a(High Bandwidth Mode) or VDSL2 Profile 17a(Long Reach Mode), and Symmetric/Asymmetric data throughput, all DIP Switch- selectable. The selection of symmetrical or asymmetrical for throughput of upstream/downstream data rates directly influences the distance covered. LEDs include link activity, VDSL status, and Central Office or Customer Premises Equipment designation.

The Extenders meet 802.3 Ethernet standards, as well as transparently supporting VLANS, 802.1q.

The EKI-1751I is an Industrial Long Reach Ethernet Extenders to utilize existing copper cabling infrastructure (twisted pair or coaxial cable) extending Ethernet to up to 2000 meters over VDSL2. The EKI-1751I adds M12 Ethernet connector in addition to 2 RJ45 Ethernet connectors to offer the most flexibility possible to your project needs. M12 connector adds the option to deploy these easy to use plug-n-play devices into a more secure environments where reliability is the utmost priority.

The EKI-1751I is recommended to be used in pairs over a single pair of telephone-grade unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wire or a coaxial cable. EKI-1751I uses IP30 aluminum enclosures, ideal for industrial applications capable of handling wide range of temperatures -40 to +75 °C. A convenient DIP switch, provides easier configurations option to meet many deployment needs. Installer can select, VDSL2 'Band-Plans' (Asymmetric or Symmetric), SNR margin (6dB or 9dB). Abundant LEDs, offer quick snapshot of status and diagnostics.

Advantech's IMC-150LPC-M and IMC-150LPC-R are designed to be used as a pair. IMC-150LPC-M is designed for use at a central site while IMC 150LPC-R is used at a remote site. Both devices are capable of extending data and power transmission by >15.4W at 300 m (985 ft) using extant coaxial cables. Indeed, this solution converts analogue cables into Ethernet connection cables while saving on installation/digitalization costs. IMC-150LPC-M and IMC-150LPC-R further support PD power-off via a management switch to enable users to control the unit remotely. This series is compliant with EN50121-4 standards for trackside installation and is capable of withstanding electromagnetic interference for rail networks.
