VC-412 User’s Manual

1. INTRODUCTION

Thank you for choosing the VC-412 VDSL Managerial Switch for your MDU Solution. PLANET has been on the forefront of VDSL (Very High Bit-Rate Digital Subscriber Line) technologies since their inception, and will always strive to create quality, cost-effective solutions for VDSL users and installers.

Fiber all the way to the home (FTTH) is very expensive therefore another alternative is a combination of fiber cables to Optical Network Units (ONUs) or otherwise called the Fiber to the Neighborhood (FTTN) as the connection point between fiber and existing or new copper wire. One of the enabling technologies for FTTN is Very high rate Digital Subscriber Line, or VDSL. In simple terms, VDSL transmits high speed data over short reaches of twisted-pair copper telephone lines, with a range of speeds depending upon actual line length.

By choosing the VC-412 VDSL Managerial Switch, you have enabled your network to have the superb speed and manageability. VC-412 offers 12 VDSL ports, 12 POTS/ISDN ports and 4 Ethernet ports for your VDSL solutions.
