High Performance Gigabit Ethernet over Coaxial Solution
To fulfill the needs of long distance and higher speed required Ethernet over Coaxial applications, PLANET Technology offers a new-generation Ethernet over Coaxial Converter, VC-232G. It features 1 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 port and 1 BNC female connector with a compact-sized metal housing, making the placement of the unit convenient. Working well with a pervasive coaxial network, the VC-232G provides an excellent bandwidth of up to a total duplex data rate of 300Mbps which can extend a maximum distance up to 1.4km. It is ideal for extending the distance and signal conversion by transmitting the Ethernet data from the coaxial cable to another 100-meter UTP cable for any type of IP network device such as HD IP camera, wireless access point, NVR and digital signage.

Superior Upstream and Downstream Transmission
The VC-232G is based on the two-core networking technology, Gigabit Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). The VC-232G offers a stable yet high-speed point-to-point network access up to a duplex data transmission of 300Mbps. It provides 2 selective transmission modes -- asymmetric mode or symmetric mode -- for the transmission of upstream and downstream signals.
¦ Asymmetric mode – downstream up to 200Mbps and upstream up to 100Mbps
¦ Symmetric mode – downstream up to 150Mbps and upstream up to 150Mbps
The symmetric mode provides similar transmission rate on both downstream and upstream. On the other hand, the asymmetric mode performs higher transmission quality in short range. In all, when the VC-232G is in symmetric mode, it provides better upstream performance, and when it is in asymmetric mode, it gives better downstream performance.

IP Ethernet over Long Distance Existing Coaxial Cables
The VC-232G is also a Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) solution which provides a quick replacement and smooth migration solution from existing analog system to full digital system. A normal UTP cable can only be extended up to 100 meters, but with the VC-232G, the distance for Ethernet networking can be extended up to 1,400 meters (4,593ft.), which is ideal for the following network applications:
¦ Long-distance IP network devices
¦ IP digital signage
¦ Cable TV to IPTV
¦ Distance video education
¦ Electronic billboards
¦ Other applications

Manufacturer Contact Info

The PLANET VC-232G is a single-port Ethernet-over-coax converter for homes or businesses that want to carry a network connection over existing RG6 or RG7 coaxial cable, with speeds up to 200 Mbps downstream and 100 Mbps upstream.

Recommended For

Network installers extending Ethernet to IP cameras or other devices over existing RG-59/RG-6 coax, when running new cable would be disruptive; use a matched pair for the point-to-point link.
Building owners retrofitting a wired network in a home, office, or other site where coax is already installed but Ethernet cabling is not available at the needed endpoints.
Installers creating a dedicated link between two network locations over a suitable coax run, such as connecting a remote access point, recorder, or digital-signage endpoint.
Network technicians who can check coax type, condition, distance, and endpoint setup before installation; the link rate varies with cable quality and environmental factors.

Real-World Use Scenarios

A building has coax already routed to a remote IP camera location, but no Ethernet run; using a VC-232G at each end can carry the network connection over that coax and avoid installing a new long Ethernet cable.
A network installer is connecting a remote wireless access point where only coax is available; a pair of converters can provide a wired network link to the access point without replacing the coax run.
A site needs to connect a remote NVR or other IP video equipment over existing coax; the converters can bridge the network across that cable, with actual throughput depending on the coax run and setup.
A school, office, or retail site wants to put digital signage in a location served by coax but not Ethernet; a converter pair can reuse the coax to provide the signage player with a network connection.
A property is replacing an analog video setup with IP-based equipment while keeping usable coax in place; the VC-232G can help carry Ethernet over the existing cable as part of that migration.
