ORDERING INFORMATION
2173/EUI: CopperLink High Speed Ethernet Extender; RJ-45 Line;
100–240 VAC
2173/EUI-2PK: CopperLink High Speed Ethernet Extender Kit
(1 Local and 1 Remote); RJ-45 Line; 100–240 VAC
70 Mbps Symmetrical or 100 Mbps Asymmetrical
Ethernet Extender
CopperLink™ 2173
With achievable lines rates of 70 Mbps symmetrical, or 100 Mbps
asymmetrical over a single twisted-pair, the Model 2173 is one of the
fastest in the large line of CopperLink™ Ethernet extenders.
FEATURES & BENEFITS
4 Ethernet Extension—Extends 10/100Base-
TX Ethernet up to 4,250 feet over 2-wire 24
AWG twisted pair.
4 Operates Over Twisted Pair—Near fiber
speeds without the cost of new cable or
fiber installations or the hassles of wireless
line of site.
4 Plug and Play—Modems need no configu-
ration to operate, Ethernet ports are auto-
sensing 10/100, full or half duplex.
4 Multiple Line Rates Supported—Switch-
selectable line rates ensure best possible
rate vs. reach combination.
4 Transparent LAN Bridging—No network
configuration. Will pass higher layer proto-
cols, including 802.1Q VLAN tagged and
untagged packets. Fully transparent to vari-
ous UP video compression schemes such as
WMV, MPEG-4 and MJPEG.
The CopperLink™ Model 2173 High Speed
Ethernet Extender leverages existing copper infra-
structure to deliver high speed Ethernet extension.
Multiple user-selectable settings for symmetrical
and asymmetrical rates provide the flexibility
required to achieve the optimal speed-distance
combination for each and every connection.
Multi-rate symmetrical line rates allow each con-
nection to be tuned for the length and gauge of
the copper wire, in order to achieve the maxi-
mum possible data rate for the environment.
Typical symmetrical applications include remote
LAN extension, video teleconferencing, and data
backhaul. Asymmetrical line rates are the ideal
solution for applications that require longer
extension between their Ethernet devices and for
applications that primarily involve high down-
stream requirements. These asymmetrical appli-
cations include high resolution IP video for secu-
rity, medical imaging, livestock monitoring,
underwater video, and internet gaming.

Model 2173 dual-port CopperLink Ethernet
Extenders are ideal for delivering high speed IP
video and data links to remote devices that are
beyond the 328 foot (100 meter) distance limit of
Ethernet. The high throughput eliminates band-
width concerns previously experienced with
many other copper based transmission technolo-
gies. By utilizing existing voice grade copper
pairs, the expense and hassle of installing low
capacitance or fiber cabling is no longer required.
Depicted below is a typical application involving
multiple network enabled devices (Ethernet)
plugged in for simultaneous Ethernet data and
IP video delivery.
Note: Actual distance and link performance depends
on the environment and type/gauge of wire used.
