Share Article

Versa Technology is pleased to announce the addition of the VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender Kit to its product line. The VX-VEB160R4 Extends Ethernet up to 1 Mile at speeds of up to 100Mbps full duplex. The VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender Extends 10/100Base-TX Ethernet up to 4,250 feet over a single pair of Cat3/5/6 twisted pair.

It does not make financial sense to spend $3000 to connect 2 buildings together when existing phone lines exist. If the buildings are within a mile, you can extend the LAN with our Ethernet Extender and get the same speed for 20% of the cost.

Versa Technology is pleased to announce the addition of the VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender Kit to its product line. The VX-VEB160R4 Extends Ethernet up to one mile at speeds of up to 100Mbps full duplex. The VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender Extends 10/100Base-TX Ethernet up to 4,250 feet over a single pair of Cat3/5/6 twisted pair.

The VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender kits are plug and play. They need no configuration to operate, Ethernet ports are auto-sensing 10/100, full or half duplex. The VX-VEB160R4 provides Transparent LAN Bridging, No network configuration is needed. They will pass higher layer protocols, including 802.1Q VLAN tagged and untagged packets. They are also fully transparent to various UP video compression codecs for VOD or security cameras.

As bandwidth needs increase, especially with cost still very high for installing new fiber, the VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender Kit can fill in the gaps and cut cost by over 1000% versus digging a trench and pulling a new fiber optic line. Using standard twisted pair while supplying up to 100Mbps, the VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender Kit extends the network with the ability to provide up to four 100 Mbps connections on a single Cat 5e cable using four CO devices and four CPE devices.

The VX-VEB160R4 also provides the following:

  •     One box design, CO / CPE selectable via DIP Switch
  •     Supports up to 1536 bytes packet size, IEEE 802.1Q VLAN tag transparent
  •     Selectable target data rate and target SNR margin
  •     Four Port 10/100 Switch
  •     Enclosure magnets allow the device to mount to a switch or a rail in a central office
  •     Pot Splitter (Optional)

"Network capacity is growing exponentially, but so is the cost of developing new network infrastructures. The VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender Kit allows operators to leverage existing copper lines, to provide triple play bandwidth to the end user," said Joseph Taylor, Director of Business Development. "With companies expanding real estate, it does not make financial sense to spend $3000 to connect 2 buildings together when existing phone lines exist. If the buildings are within a mile, you can extend the LAN with our Ethernet Extender and get the same speed for 20% of the cost."

MTU / MDU / Hospitality Solution

The Versa Technology VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender Kit is the best solution to quickly provide cost-effective, high speed network services to multi-unit buildings, such as residential (multi-dwelling units) and commercial (multi-tenant units) buildings, hotels, and hospitals. By utilizing the existing telephony infrastructure, network installation is straightforward and requires no new wiring. With 100Mbps full Duplex, Video on Demand, IP telephony and various broadband services are easily provisioned.

LAN Extension

The VX-VEB160R4 Ethernet Extender can increase the reach of an IP network on Cat5 or Cat6 without losing any speed. These devices can be used for any Cat3/5/6 run that is over 100 meters up to one mile (1600 Meters). The VX-VEB160R4 Cat5 Extender uses VDSL2 Technology over existing pair to reach greater distances.

Security Cameras

The VX-VEB160R4 can be used for security purposes to reach remote locations for IP cameras. This is especially useful providing HD camera monitoring on large campus environments. The VX-VEB160R4 empowers its installers to place IP cameras in previously unreachable locations. The VX-VEB160R4 LAN Extender can be combined with a POE Injector to provide power to the camera as well.

Availability and Testing:

The VX-VEB160R4 Cat5e Extender Kit is available now and has already been deployed in networks across the world. This product has 30 day money back trial and ships with a 3 year warranty. A hardened extended temperature Ethernet Extender should be available in Quarter 2 of 2011.

Pricing:

The VX-VEB164 Ethernet Extender starts at 399.00 for a pair and discount pricing for resellers and bulk quantity is available. The Versa Technology VX-VEB164 Cat5 Extender is far and away the most cost effective solution in North America for expanding networks, today.
