200/160Mbps Downstream/Upstream, High Performance Gigabit Ethernet over Phone Wire Solution
PLANET VC-231G, a new-generation and high-performance Gigabit Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter, works well with a pervasive telephone line network with a symmetric data rate of up to 200/160Mbps (G. INP, Sym, 8dB) over a distance of 300m and 20/12Mbps over a long distance of 1.4 km. 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.

Manufacturer Contact Info

The PLANET VC-231G is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet-to-VDSL2 converter/bridge for users who need to connect Ethernet devices over a VDSL2 link, with support for up to 200/160 Mbps bandwidth, G.vectoring, and G.INP.

Recommended For

Network installers connecting a remote room, apartment, or outbuilding to an Ethernet network over existing telephone wiring, when they can install a matching CO/CPE converter pair.
Building or hospitality network operators extending wired service to multiple rooms over installed phone cabling, where running new Ethernet is impractical.
IT teams extending a wired link between network equipment and a remote switch, PC, or router over an existing copper phone pair instead of installing new cable.
Experienced users building a simple VDSL bridge connection who already have compatible VDSL infrastructure and plan to use a separate router or network equipment on the Ethernet side.

Real-World Use Scenarios

When a room or outbuilding has existing telephone-pair wiring but no Ethernet run, use a compatible VDSL2 unit at each end to carry the network connection over that wire; the link can avoid installing new cable, with actual performance depending on the wire and distance.
For a small property with several remote buildings, use a compatible VDSL2 distribution device at the network end and a VC-231G at a remote building to provide a wired Ethernet connection over existing phone cable; this can extend the site network without running new Ethernet between buildings.
In a building where telephone wiring is already in place, pair the VC-231G with a compatible VDSL2 endpoint to extend Ethernet to a location that is difficult to reach with new cable; the device bridges the wired network rather than providing Wi-Fi.
Where a compatible VDSL2 access system is already installed, use the VC-231G as the customer-side bridge to connect a router or other Ethernet device to the VDSL2 line; check endpoint compatibility and line configuration before deployment.
If the existing phone pair still carries analog telephone service, use the supplied splitter to share that line with the VDSL2 data connection, provided the wiring and service support the arrangement.
