1-Port 10/100/1000T 802.3at PoE+ Ethernet to
VDSL2 Converter
PoE Plus High Performance Gigabit Ethernet over Phone Wire Solution
The VC-231GP, a PLANET Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) solution, is a Single-
port Gigabit Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Converter with PoE injector function that is
installed at a remote location connecting and injecting power to a PoE IP camera,
PoE wireless AP, or PoE IP VoIP phone/door phone. It is integrated with three
advanced technologies:
■ VDSL2/ADSL2+ Digital Subscriber Line technologies
■ Gigabit Ethernet
■ IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus
The VC-231GP works with PLANET VDSL2 converters or multiple-channel VDSL2
switches to be able to simultaneously transmit Ethernet data over a distance of up
to 1.4km (4,593ft) over phone wire. The VC-231GP forwards the Ethernet data
and provides a maximum of 30-watt power output over an additional 100m UTP
cable to a remote IP device complied with 802.3af/at PoE PD (powered device)
for network deployment. Users have the ability to grow the structure of the current
networks simply with even more exibility.
Physical Ports
