Ethernet Extender
The Ethernet Extender allows users to expand their Ethernet connections beyond the 328-foot (100-meter) Ethernet distance limitations. The Ethernet Extender can establish long-range, high-speed data communication links between geographically separated LANs or LAN devices. The Ethernet Extender is often employed to connect workgroups on different floors within a building. One benefit of the Ethernet Extender is they can eliminate the need for installing expensive Switches and CAT5 cable. The Ethernet Extender can use fiber-optic or copper twisted-pair cables to transparently send packets at full-line rate to a peered LAN up to five miles away. While networks typically deploy the Ethernet Extender within a limited geographical area, this area need not be limited to one building. the Ethernet Extender can create effective bridged-Ethernet connections across streets or over a college or enterprise campus and between Ethernet LANs up to five miles apart. The Ethernet Extender is a cost-effective alternative to more complicated and pricey wiring installations such as CAT5 cable. the Ethernet Extender is a plug-and-play device that you can install quickly to take advantage of existing copper twisted-pair network infrastructure. Depending on the required data rate, some Ethernet extender models can increase the distance of an Ethernet link extension beyond five miles. We offer a wide range of award-winning the Ethernet Extender to serve your networking needs, including both copper and fiber models. Our auto-rate adaptation feature ensures the highest speed possible across great distances. Unlike many LAN extenders, Patton extenders with auto-rate adaptation can be set for multiple data rates and require no difficult configuration when connecting to LANs at different distances.
An Ethernet Extender (also network extender) is any device used to extend an Ethernet segment beyond its normal distance limitation (100 m for most common forms of Ethernet). These devices employ a variety of transmission technologies and physical media (copper wire, fiber-optic cable, coaxial cable). Extenders that use copper wire include 2- and 4-wire variants using unconditioned copper wiring to extend a LANs. Network extenders use various methods (line encodings), such as TC-PAM, 2B1Q or DMT, to transmit information. While transmitting over copper wire does not allow for the speeds that fiber-optic transmission does, it allows the use of existing voice-grade copper wiring. Copper-based Ethernet extenders must be used on unconditioned wire, such as unused twisted pairs and alarm circuits.
