PLANET IVC-234GPT network extender Network transmitter & receiver Aluminium, Blue

200/200Mbps Downstream/Upstream, High-performance Gigabit Ethernet over Coaxial/Phone Wire Solution

To fulfill the needs of long distance and higher speed required Ethernet over Coaxial or phone wire applications, PLANET Technology offers the IVC-234GPT, a new-generation and high-performance Gigabit Ethernet-over-VDSL2 Extender with the brand-new VDSL2 Super Vector 35b profile. It features 4 10/100/1000BASE-T RJ45 ports with 802.3at PoE+ injector function, 1 RJ11 female phone jack and 1 BNC female connector. Its IP30 aluminum housing makes the placement of the unit convenient. The IVC-234GPT is based on the coaxial and two-core networking technology, Gigabit Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). The VDSL2 technology offers distance extension and signal conversion by transmitting the Ethernet data from the coaxial cable to another 100-meter UTP cable for various IP network devices such as HD IP cameras, wireless access points, NVRs and digital signage. It also offers the fastest data transmission speed over the existing copper telephone lines without the need of rewiring. The IVC-234GPT works well with a pervasive coaxial or telephone line network with downstream/upstream data rate of up to 200/200Mbps symmetric and 300/100Mbps asymmetric over a distance of 300m, making a maximum VDSL2 distance reach of up to 1.4km.


High-performance Ethernet over VDSL2 Transmission

Via the latest VDSL2 technology, PLANET IVC-234GPT offers high-speed access to Internet, up to 200Mbps for both upstream and downstream data transmissions. With integrated support for the ITU-T’s new G.993.5 vectoring technology, the IVC-234GPT offers a stable yet high-speed point-to-point network access up to a duplex data transmission rate of 300Mbps. It provides 2 selective transmission modes -- asymmetric mode or symmetric mode -- for the transmission of upstream and downstream signals.

- Asymmetric mode – downstream up to 300Mbps and upstream up to 100Mbps
- Symmetric mode – downstream up to 200Mbps and upstream up to 200Mbps

The symmetric mode provides similar transmission rate on both downstream and upstream while the asymmetric mode performs higher transmission quality in short range. In all, when the IVC-234GPT is in the symmetric mode, it provides a better upstream performance, and when it is in the asymmetric mode, it gives a better downstream performance. It also works in conjunction with vectoring-enabled DSLAMs to remove crosstalk interference and improve maximum line bandwidth across the existing copper infrastructure.


Delivering High-demanding Service Over Long Distance Connectivity for ISP/Triple Play Devices

The IVC-234GPT is also a Long Reach Ethernet (LRE) solution which provides a quick replacement and smooth migration solution from the existing analog system to full digital system. It features two types of VDSL2 transmission, the VDSL2 coaxial cable and VDSL2 RJ11 telephone wire. A normal UTP cable can only be extended up to 100 meters, but with the IVC-234GPT, the distance for Ethernet networking can be extended up to 1,400 meters (4,593ft.).

The IVC-234GPT provides an excellent bandwidth demand for the triple play devices for entertainment and communication. With the asymmetric data transmission of 306/60Mbps (G.INP, Asym, 8dB), the IVC-234GPT enables many multi-media services to work on the local Internet, such as VoD (video on demand), voice over IP, video phone, IPTV, Internet caching server, distance education, and so on, which is ideal for the following network applications:

- Long-distance IP network devices
- IP digital signage
- Cable TV to IPTV
- Distance video education
- Electronic billboards
- Other applications

If you have coaxial cable or RJ11 telephone wire in your existing environment, you can install a pair of the IVC-234GPT very simply without the need to build additional network wires, thus saving costs for network construction.


IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet Plus

The IVC-234GPT forwards the Ethernet data and provides a maximum of 30-watt power output over an additional 100m Cat.5E/6 Ethernet cable to a remote IP device complied with 802.3af/at PoE PD (powered device) for network deployment, such as PoE IP camera, PoE wireless AP, or PoE IP VoIP phone/door phone. The IVC-234GPT provides more flexibility in power requirements for all kinds of PDs at affordable installation costs.


Easy and Flexible Installation

The IVC-234GPT comes with a plug-and-play design and is 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 IVC-234GPT offers two modes, CPE and CO, for application -- CPE mode is used at client side and 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, one IVC-234GPT in the CPE mode and the other in the CO mode must be set up as one pair of VDSL2 Extenders to perform the connection. This enables the administrator to efficiently manage the network over coaxial cable or RJ11 telephone wire, making long-distance transmission better.


Convenient and Reliable Power System

To facilitate the 802.3at PoE+ usage with the commonly-used 12~54V DC power input for transportation and industrial-level applications, the IVC-234GPT adopts the 12~54V DC to 54V DC power boost technology to solve power source issue but does not require special power supplies. Its wide-ranging voltages design is suitable for worldwide operability with high- availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.


Stable Operating Performance under Difficult Environments

The IVC-234GPT is the perfect solution for extended data and power transmission for warehouses, parking lots, campuses, casinos, and many more. It can operate stably under temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, which enables the users to conveniently apply the device in any harsh environment. Without the problem of power source, it makes the installation of remote PoE powered devices easier and more efficient.


ADSL2+ Fallback

For those ISPs providing ADSL broadband service, the IVC-234GPT can support transmission rates up to 24Mbps downstream and 1Mbps upstream with the ADSL2+ technology. The IVC-234GPT establishes a connection with an ISP and can be also directly switched over to VDSL2 after the ISP network upgrade.
