AN extension doesn’t have to be expen- Lsive or difficult. Patton’s Model 2156 and Model 2157 Series of auto-rate Ethernet Extenders open the door to low-cost and easy set-up LAN extension. The LAN Extenders are easy to use and take advantage of existing copper twisted-pair infrastructure to connect LANs at high speed and over long distances.

The Model 2156 can connect at speeds up to2.3Mbps with distances ranging from 5.3 to

9.4km (3.3 to 5.8 miles) on standard 0.5 mm (24 AWG) voice-grade twisted pair. The Model 2157 can connect at speeds up to 4.6 Mbps over distances ranging from 3.3 to 9.4 km (2.1 to 5.8 miles) on standard 0.5 mm (24 AWG) voice-grade twisted pair.

Whether connecting corporate LANs or remote offices, Patton Ethernet Extenders

offer the best combination of speed and dis- tance in the industry. Other LAN extenders operate at a single rate or are difficult to con- figure for LANs located at different distances, but the CopperLink Ethernet Extenders’ auto- rate adaptation feature ensures that users get the highest speed possible for the distances they are trying to reach. Patton Ethernet Extenders come with a built-in MDI-X switch, which simplifies connection to LANs or PCs since it works correctly with a straight- through cable or a cross-over cable. Set-up is easy, just connect the Ethernet port cable and the copper twisted-pair to the Extenders, then apply power! Patton CopperLink Auto-rate Ethernet Extenders are the perfect fit for cost- effective simple and efficient LAN extension!
