VC-231
High Performance Ethernet over VDSL Solution
The PLANET VC-231 is an Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter with high
performance. It is designed based on two core networking technology,
Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). The
VDSL2 technology offers absolutely fastest data transmission speed over
existing copper telephone lines without the need of rewiring. The VC-231
supports ultra-high performance to the pervasive telephone line network
with up to 100/100Mbps symmetric data rate within 300m and 50/2Mbps
for 1.4km long range connections.
Implements with Existing Telephone Copper Wires
The VC-231 is also a Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) converter providing
one RJ-45 Ethernet port and one RJ-11 phone jack that is for VDSL2
connection. By using the additional Splitter from package of VC-231, the
splitter can provide POTS splitter to share the existing phone line with
POTS; therefore it is no need of replacing the existing copper wiring. Just
plug the VC-231 with additional splitter into the existing RJ-11 telephone
jack and a high-performance VDSL2 network can be connected. The VC-
231 is ideal to be used as an Ethernet extender to an existing Ethernet
network.
Delivers High-Demand Service Connectivity for ISP / Triple Play Devices
The VC-231 provides excellent bandwidth to satisfy the triple play devices
for home entertainment and communication. With the capability of
100/100Mbps symmetric data transmission, the VC-231 enables many
Multi-Media services to work on local Internet, such as VOD (Video on
Demand), Voice over IP, Video phone, IPTV, Internet caching server,
distance education, and so on.
Easy Installation
The Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter is plug-and-play design and fully
compatible with all kinds of network protocols. Moreover, the operating
status of each individual port and the whole system can be watched
via the rich diagnostic LEDs on the front panel. The VC-231 offers two
modes, CPE and CO, for application: CPE mode is used at client side and

Ethernet over VDSL2 Converter
CO mode is at central side. The CPE or CO mode can be adjusted by
using a built-in DIP switch. For point-to-point connection, a CPE mode
VC-231 and a CO mode VC-231 must be setup as one pair of converters
to perform the connection.
Provides Superior Upstream and Downstream Transmission Performance
The VC-231 also defines symmetric band plan for the transmission
of upstream and downstream signals, the band plan performs higher
transmission quality in short range for central side (CO) in symmetric
mode. In all, when the VC-231 is in profile 17a operation mode, it
provides long distance transmit with Ultra-high performance to the
pervasive telephone line network, and when the VC-231 is in 30a
operation mode, it gives short distance transmits with upstream and
downstream transmission giving wire speed performance.
