Introduction

General Description

The VX-VEB160R4 [V2] converts Ethernet to VDSL2 over twisted pair. The device integrates Ethernet functionality in buildings over existing phones lines. The device also functions as an Ethernet Extender, allowing users to extend Ethernet beyond its limitation of 100 meters.

The VX-VEB160R4 [V2] port supports a maximum symmetrical data transmission rate of up to 100/100 Mbps. The device can transmit data at a maximum distance of up to 2000 ft.

It is ideal for point to point connections without the added expense of having to rewire cables.

The extender features a ‘plug-n-play’ installation that does not require additional software configuration.

The cable specifications of the connection are listed as following:

• 10BASE-T, Category 3, 4 or 5 UTP/STP

• 100BASE-TX, Category 5 UTP/STP

• Twisted-pair telephone wires

Use and Care

The device further extends Ethernet using a single twisted pair of copper. It allows data services to be extended beyond

Ethernet capabilities and supports many multi-media applications.

When deciding where to install the extender, please ensure that the extender is accessible, that cables can easily be connected, and that cabling is away from sources of electrical noise such as radios, transmitters, power lines and fluorescent lighting fixtures. In addition, please ensure that:

• Water or moisture cannot enter the unit.

• Airflow around the unit and through the vents in the side of the case is not restricted (company recommend that you provide a minimum of 1 inch clearance).

To prolong the operational life of your units:

• Do not place objects on top of any unit or stack.

• Do not obstruct any vents at the sides of the case.

Product Specifications

Installing and Using

VX-VEB160R4 [V2]

Instructions

Users can connect a Cat5 cable to the VDSL2 port of an extender and require no further configuration for a powered device (PD) to function. Users utilizing twisted pair cabling will need to ensure to use pins 4 and 5.

Connect the Cat5 cable or twisted pair cable to the VDSL2 port of the extender and the Powered Device (PD). The VDSL2 LED indicator will intermittently blink at a faster rate until it remains solidly lit indicating a successful connection.

If the LED remains blinking, the extender is attempting to establish a handshake or link. If this is the case, the issue could stem from a line quality issue, noise issue, or a bad connection.
