Extenders

CopperLink™ Ruggedized

50-Mbps Ethernet Extender

Model 2172R

Patton’s 2172R extends Ethernet connections at distances up to 5,500 feet over already existing serial infrastruc- ture cabling

Operates Over Twisted Pair

Reduces the cost and hassles of new installa- tions. Utilizes installed voice-grade twisted pairs to eliminate the expense of fiber or Cat5e cabling.

Plug and Play

No configuration or cable hassles during instal- lation with auto-sensing 10/100, full or half duplex, and auto MDI-X.

Full-duplex data-line rate of 100 Mbps

Provides near fiber performance for bandwidth intensive applications

Ruggedized

Operating temperature of -10 to 70°C or -10 to 80°C for 2172/CC

The Patton Model 2172R utilizes pre- existing twisted pair infrastructure enabling twisted pair previously used for legacy systems such as TTL, RS232

and 422/485 to be used for extending or connect Ethernet devices together. With a pair of 2172R’s or combined with a 2172, twisted pair can carry an extraordinary bandwidth of 100 Mbps full-duplex (50 Mbps up and downstream). Reusing the already existing infrastructure for Ethernet Networking eliminates the cost of purchas- ing expensive fiber and Cat5E or greater cabling. Most importantly, it completely

eliminates the hassle and sometimes over- whelming expense and downtime of the cable installations.

The 2172R was designed to operate in a rugged environment, with temperature ranges from -10 to 70°C, and the option for conformal coating protecting the device from condensing humidity, and operates at - 10 to 80°C. The 2172R’s aluminum case design allows for users to conveniently mount them either on a wall or DIN.
