VC-231GP

200/200Mbps Downstream/Upstream, High-performance Gigabit Ethernet over Phone Wire Solution 

PLANET VC-231GP, a new-generation and high-performance Single-port Gigabit Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter with PoE injector function and the brand-new VDSL2 Super Vector 35b profile, works well with a pervasive telephone line network with a symmetric data rate of up to 200/200Mbps (G.INP, Sym, 8dB) over a distance of 200m and 11/9Mbps over a long distance of 1.4km. It is based on the two-core networking technology, Gigabit Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). The VDSL2 technology offers absolutely the fastest data transmission speed over the existing copper telephone lines without the need of rewiring. 

The VC-231GP forwards the Ethernet data and provides a maximum of 30-watt power output over an additional 100m UTP cable to a remote IP device complied with 802.3af/at PoE PD (powered device) for network deployment, such as PoE IP camera, PoE wireless AP, or PoE IP VoIP phone/door phone. Users have the ability to grow the structure of the current networks simply with even more flexibility with following three advanced technologies:

• VDSL2/ADSL2+ Digital Subscriber Line technologies
• Gigabit Ethernet
• IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus

High-performance Ethernet over VDSL2

Via the latest VDSL2 technology, PLANET VC-231GP offers high-speed access to Internet, up to 200Mbps for both upstream and downstream data transmissions. With integrated support for the ITU-T’s new G.993.5 vectoring technology, the VC-231GP works in conjunction with vectoring-enabled DSLAMs to remove crosstalk interference and improve maximum line bandwidth across the existing copper infrastructure.

Implementing with Existing Telephone Copper Wires

The VC-231GP is also a Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) converter providing one RJ45 Ethernet port and one RJ11 phone jack, which is for VDSL2 connection. An additional splitter from the package of the VC-231GP can be used to share the existing phone line with POTS, eliminating the need to replace the existing copper wiring. The VC-231GP can be connected to the additional splitter through the existing RJ11 telephone jack, enabling a high-performance VDSL2 network connection. It is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender within an existing Ethernet network. 

Delivering High-demanding Service Connectivity for ISP/Triple Play Devices

The VC-231GP provides an excellent bandwidth demand for the triple play devices for home entertainment and communication. With the asymmetric data transmission of 281/59Mbps (G.INP, Asym, 8dB), the VC-231GP enables many multi-media services to work on the local Internet, such as VoD (video on demand), voice over IP, video phone, IPTV, Internet caching server, distance education, and so on.

IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus 

The PoE in-line power following the IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus standard makes the VC-231GP able to deliver Gigabit speed Ethernet data and up to 30 watts of power to remote PoE PDs over one Cat.5E/6 Ethernet cable. The VC-231GP provides more flexibility in power requirements for all kinds of PDs at affordable installation costs.

Easy and Flexible Installation 

The Ethernet-over-VDSL2 converter comes with a plug-and-play design and is fully compatible with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the operating status of each individual port and the whole system can be watched via the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front panel. The VC-231GP offers two modes, CPE and CO, for application -- CPE mode is used at client side and CO mode is at central side. The CPE or CO mode can be adjusted by using a built-in DIP switch. For point-to-point connection, the VC-231G in the CPE mode and the VC-231G in the CO mode must be set up as one pair of converters to perform the connection.

ADSL2+ Fallback

For those ISPs providing ADSL broadband service, the VC-231GP can support transmission rates up to 24Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream with the ADSL2+ technology. The VC-231GP establishes a stable connection with an ISP and can be switched to VDSL2 after the ISP upgrades its network.
