Overview

Ethernet extension doesn’t have to be expensive or difficult. The CL1300R Ruggedized Ethernet Extenders open the door to cost-effective Ethernet extension that is easy to set up. Featuring plug-and-play installation, the CL1300R CopperLink Ethernet Extenders leverage existing copper twisted-pair infrastructure to interconnect Ethernet devices and networks at high speeds over long distances.

Patton’s CopperLink Ethernet Extenders ensure hassle-free set-up and operation, while achieving the highest possible line rate for the required distance and electromagnetic environment. Users can either let the modems select the best achievable rate or they can “hard-set” the desired line rate via DIP switches, console Telnet, or HTTP.

The CL1314R and CL1324R comes with a built-in four-port, auto-sensing, 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch that provides automatic medium-dependent interface crossover capability (auto-MDIX). That means you can use cross-over or straight-through cables (whichever is handy) to connect up to four Ethernet devices. The auto-MDIX feature detects the polarity of the cabling on each port, and automatically configures the signaling to match. Absolutely no user-configuration is required.

The CL1300R transparently passes all higher-layer protocols—including VLAN tagging, multicast addressing, VPN pass-through for IPsec, and all IP-video compression schemes. All common industrial protocols are also transparently supported, including MODBUS/TCP and PROFINET IO.

Set-up is easy! Simply connect up to four LAN devices to the Ethernet switch, plug the copper twisted-pair into each extender, and apply power! For simple, cost-effective and efficient Ethernet extension, Patton's CopperLink Ethernet Extenders are the ideal solution!

Applications

When interconnecting sites on a corporate campus, buildings and network devices often lie beyond reach of a standard Ethernet segment. Now, you can use existing copper network infrastructure to connect remote LANs across longer distances and at higher speeds than previously thought possible.

Patton’s CopperLink long range Ethernet Extender is the ideal solution for simple, cost-effective, high-speed campus LAN extension.Ethernet plug-‘n’-play operation gets your network up-and-running in seconds. Providing auto-sensing full/half duplex 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports—plus an integrated crossover switch for hassle-free system setup—the value of this Ethernet extender is unsurpassed.

• Plug-and-Play—Just unpack a pair of extenders and plug in the cables. Apply power and your connection is up and running. It just doesn’t get any easier!
• High Speed/Long Reach—The CL1300R series Ethernet extenders provide the industry’s ultimate combination of speed and distance!
