Achieve up to 50Mbps speeds over 300m copper wires
Offering long distance communication over copper wires, the ED3101 rugged Ethernet extender has been introduced by Amplicon. Supporting speeds of up to 50Mbps at a distance of 300m and 1Mbps at 1900m, the Ethernet extender features plug-and-play installation using existing copper twisted-pair infrastructure to connect Ethernet devices and networks at high speeds over long distances.
Used in pairs or in conjunction with an ED3141, a hardened version for harsh environments, the ED3101 is suited for systems that require an office grade device at the central location and a hardened extender for field installation. The Ethernet extender uses the data link layer to pass higher-layer protocols including VLAN tagging, multicast addressing and industrial fieldbus protocols such as MODBUS/TCP and PROFINET IO.
Featuring ten speed indicator LEDs providing real-time data rate display, the Ethernet extender supports chassis system installation for easy management and power redundancy. The device is supplied with a power supply, single Ethernet port and a configuration DIP switch which is used to configure where the extender is located (local or remote). According to Amplicon, the ED3101 is easy to use and cost effective.
Operating over a temperature range from -20 to +60°C, the ED3101 is supplied in an 80.3x109.2x23.8mm aluminium case weighing 150g.
