ABOUT THE
TIGERACCESS EE SWITCH
Overview
This Ethernet-over-VDSL system consists of end-user CPEs (Customer Premise Equipment) connected to a VDSL switch by standard telephone cable. The VDSL connection delivers an Ethernet data link while simultaneously supporting standard telephone services. The system can be deployed in any multi-dwelling/multi-tenant environment (apartment blocks, hotels, or office complex) to provide both high-speed Internet access and telephone services without any need for re-wiring.
The VDSL switch has a built-in POTS splitter that combines both the data and phone signals coming from your Internet and telephone service providers, and passes these signals directly over standard telephone wiring to multiple users in the same building. A CPE is then used to separate these signals and pass them on to a customer’s computer and telephone equipment. Using the pre-defined profiles, in-building connections can operate up to 100 Mbps upstream and downstream for runs up to 200 meters (656 ft).
Note: Type-1 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.4 mm, or Type-2 24 AWG (100 ohm)/0.5 mm cable may be installed to achieve the maximum distance. However, typically 24 AWG (100 ohm)/0.5 mm wire provides better performance than 26 AWG (100 ohm)/0.4 mm wire. Note the distance may be limited by factors such as how the cable is bundled, and the interference and noise on the link.
