Ethernet Extender Kit TEX-100 extends the ethernet cable (CAT5, CAT6, CAT7, RJ45) range well beyond 328 feet (100m) limit to up to 7000 ft (2 km) over 2-wire twisted pair. The ethernet booster uses VDSL2 technology to extend network service through a single-pair phone line copper wire or an existing RJ-45 cable. This network extender kit can use an existing network or phone line setup to deliver long reach ethernet cable signal where the wireless signal transmission is not possible or in situations where a wired signal is limited by the RJ45 cable length.

These simple and effective point to point network boosters are perfect for commercial buildings, residential units, hospitality environments, remote office spaces or private-network backbone to a corporate LAN. Network Extender can be used to connect separate buildings on remote locations where cable connection (RJ-45 or telephone line) is available or already exist, or connect remote devices (i.e. PC, computer, digital sensors in the field, AP, VoIP phone, WiFi APs, IP Camera, Intercom, Modem, Router) to the main ethernet/internet source. It reduces the cost and hassles of new installations by utilizing installed voice-grade twisted pairs to eliminate the expenses of fiber or new cable infrastructure.

Ethernet Extender TEX-100 kit comes in a pair, a sender and receiver, and is Plug-And-Play ready and easy to set up with no configuration, driver, or software needed. To establish a point-to-point connection, devices are factory preset in CO and CPE (RT) modes as the sender and receiver for the source and remote location side, respectively, through DIP switch settings. A single model can be used in both locations with appropriate DIP switch settings. The instructional manual and a quick installation guide can be downloaded from the listing page.

Four DIP switch user-selectable settings provide the flexibility required to achieve the optimal speed-distance combination and can optimize performance based on the quality of the line, speed, the distance to reach, different applications scenarios, and network topology. Use DIP switches to setup and control CO or CPE mode, 30a or 17a profile, Symmetric or Asymmetric band plan and 6dB or 9dB SNR margin. With DIP switch settings tweaking, broadband speed or distance improvements that best suits your project.

The LAN RJ-45 port is designed to connect to the Local Network with the UTP or STP network cable, while VDSL RJ45 port (Phoenix connector) is designed to connect to another VDSL device. The VDSL port uses only two R1 & T1 RJ11 wires (red and green) and can be plugged in directly. Ethernet Transceivers need to have a copper path to VDSL ports with nothing in between them. If the telephone cable is not free and is occupied with a voice line, a VDSL Splitter should be added on the line ends to use data and voice at same time over a single pair. It is also possible to run multiple pairs of TEX-100 devices using single CAT 5 / CAT 6 cable by using different twisted pairs in the cable, but some cross interference is possible depending of the cable quality.
