LBT01A-KIT, 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Extender over VDSL2 specifications

The Black Box 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Extender over VDSL2, model LBT01A-KIT, is a robust solution designed to facilitate high-speed Ethernet connectivity over existing telephone lines. This device is particularly significant in scenarios where conventional Ethernet cabling is impractical or cost-prohibitive. By leveraging VDSL2 technology, the LBT01A-KIT enables data transmission over copper wires for distances up to 3,000 feet, delivering impressive performance.

One of the standout features of the LBT01A-KIT is its ability to support both 10 and 100 Mbps Ethernet connections. This flexibility makes it suitable for various applications, from basic data transfer tasks to more demanding requirements such as video streaming and VoIP services. The device can automatically negotiate the best speed based on the connected equipment, ensuring optimal performance without manual configuration.

The LBT01A-KIT consists of a transmitter and a receiver, which work together to extend Ethernet networks. The transmitter connects to an Ethernet device, and the receiver can be positioned away from the transmitter, bridging long distances effectively. The built-in LED indicators on both units allow for easy monitoring of power and connectivity status, enabling users to troubleshoot issues quickly if they arise.

Additionally, the VDSL2 technology implemented in the LBT01A-KIT incorporates advanced modulation techniques that enhance data integrity and transmission rates. This results in improved noise resistance, making it a reliable choice for industrial and commercial environments that may experience electrical interference.

The device is designed with ease of installation in mind, requiring minimal setup and no specialized training. Simply connect the Ethernet cables and power the units to begin transmitting data. The sturdy construction of the Black Box LBT01A-KIT also ensures longevity and reliable performance, even in less-than-ideal conditions.

In summary, the Black Box 10/100BASE-T Ethernet Extender over VDSL2, LBT01A-KIT, stands out for its ability to extend Ethernet connections over long distances using existing infrastructure. With speeds of 10/100 Mbps, robust performance in challenging environments, and user-friendly setup, this Ethernet extender is essential for organizations looking to optimize their network capabilities without incurring the costs of extensive cabling projects.
