Planet VC-234G

High Performance Gigabit Ethernet over Telephone Cable Solution
The PLANET VC-234G, a new-generation and high-performance Gigabit Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter, works well with an existing telephone cable network with a symmetrical (downstream/upstream) data rate of up to 190 / 190Mbps (G.INP, Sym, 8dB) over a distance of 300m and 20/12Mbps over a long distance of 1.4km. The system is based on two-core networking technology, Gigabit Ethernet en VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). VDSL2 technology offers the absolute fastest data transmission speeds over existing telephone lines, without the need for new cabling.
With integrated support for ITU-T's new G.993.5 vectoring technology, the VC-234G works in conjunction with vectoring-enabled DSLAMs to remove crosstalk interference and improve maximum line bandwidth over existing copper telephone infrastructure.

Implementation with Existing Telephone Copper Cabling
The VC-234G is also a Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) This bridge offers four RJ45 Ethernet ports and two RJ11 phone jacks, one for the VDSL connection and the other for the POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) connection. The VC-234G has a built-in POTS splitter to share the existing phone line with the POTS, eliminating the need to replace existing copper cabling. Simply plug the VC-234G into the existing RJ11 phone jack and a high-performance VDSL2 network is ready to connect. The VC-234G is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender to an existing Ethernet network.

High-demand Service Connectivity for ISP/Triple Play Systems
The VC-234G offers excellent bandwidth to provide sufficient speed for triple play systems for home entertainment and communication. With a capacity of 240 / 120Mbps (G.INP, Asym, 8dB) With asymmetric data transmission, the VC-234G enables many multimedia services to operate on the local Internet, such as VoD (video on demand), voice over IP, video phone, IPTV, Internet caching servers, distance education, etc.

Simple and Flexible Installation
The Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter features a plug-and-play design and is fully compatible with all network protocols. Furthermore, the status of each individual port and the entire system can be monitored with comprehensive diagnostic LEDs on the front panel. The VC-234G offers two modes: CPE en COFor application—CPE mode is used on the client side and CO mode on the central side. The CPE or CO mode can be selected using the built-in DIP switch. For point-to-point connection, both CPE and CO modes must be selected as a single pair of converters to establish the connection.

ADSL2+ Fallback
For those ISPs still offering ADSL broadband service, the VC-234G supports a downstream rate of up to 24Mbps and an upstream rate of 1Mbps with ADSL2+ technology. The VC-234G can also be switched over to VDSL2 immediately after a network upgrade.
