If any of these pieces are missing or damaged, please

contact your dealer immediately, if possible, retain the

carton including the original packing material, and use them

against to repack the product in case there is a need to

return it to us for repair.

1.2 Introduction to Ethernet over VDSL2

Converter

PLANET’s state-of-the-art Ethernet-over-VDSL2 products

are based on two core networking technologies: Ethernet

and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line).

This technology offers the absolute fastest possible data

transmission speeds over existing copper telephone lines or

coaxial cables without the need for rewiring.

The VC-201/VC-202 Ethernet over VDSL2 converters has a

switching architecture with one RJ-45 10/100Mbps Ethernet

port and one symmetric Ethernet over VDSL port (symmetry

means upstream and downstream rate are the same or

similar) – the VDSL port can be RJ-11 connectors or BNC

connector. The VC-201/VC-202 can be set to CO mode or

CPE mode via a DIP switch. When the VC-20X-CO is used

to connect to the other VC-20X-CPE as a standalone pair, up

to 100/55Mbps asymmetric data rate within 200m and up

to 30/6Mbps asymmetric data rate at 1km. This capability

is ideal for use as an Ethernet extender for your existing

Ethernet network.

PLANET’s VDSL2 Converter solution provides a much

cheaper replacement and smooth migration for existing

Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) networks.

The cable specications of the connection are listed as

following:

● 10BASE-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP

● 100BASE-TX, Category 5 UTP

● Ethernet over VDSL, Twisted-pair telephone wires

● Ethernet over VDSL, Coaxial cable

The two drawings listed below are typical application for the

Ethernet over VDSL converter.

Note

Slave device (CPE) must connect to Master

device (CO) through the telephone wire. Slave

cannot connect to Slave and Master cannot

connect to Master. To define the VC-201 to CO

or CPE, please refer to section 2.2.1 for more

detail.

1.3 Key Features

The converter provides the following key features:

● Cost-effect VDSL2 CO/CPE bridge solution

● One box design, CO/CPE selectable via DIP Switch

● Complies with IEEE 802.3, IEEE 802.3u and IEEE 802.3x

standards

● DMT (Discrete Multi-Tone) line coding

● Half duplex Back pressure and IEEE 802.3x Full Duplex

Pause frame ow control

● Built-in POTS/ISDN splitter

● Voice and data communication can be shared on the ex-

isting telephone wire simultaneously

● Support up to 1536 bytes packet size, 802.1Q VLAN tag

transparent

● VDSL2 stand-alone transceiver for simple bridge modem

application

● Advantage of minimum installation time (Simply as Plug-

and-Play)

● Selectable target data rate and target SNR margin

● Support extensive LED indicators for network diagnostics

● Co-work with PLANET MC family Media Chassis (MC-

700/1000R/1500)

● Compact in size, easy installation
