Amplicon have introduced the ED3538T and the ED3538R, an innovative new Ethernet extender system that can extend an Ethernet network and PoE+ power across pre-existing copper cabling, providing data rates of up to 100Mbps and power levels as high as 30 Watts. Ethernet extenders leverage legacy copper-pair cables for communication, when they are used to replace fibre-optic cables, wireless bridges or leased lines the cost-saving potential is huge.

Ethernet extenders can be used for a wide range of applications such as IP camera installation, wireless access point deployment, data backhaul and almost any remote device connectivity solution.

One of the common issues encountered when installing Ethernet extenders is power availability at the remote location, the innovative ED3538T/R extender system completely removes this problem with the use of Power over Link technology. When these extenders are installed in a point-to-point topology, only the local end of the network requires a power supply, power is sent along the copper cabling, which powers the remote extender unit and any connected PoE+ end device that is compliant with the IEEE 802.3af/at standard.

This Ethernet extender system consists of two units: the ED3538T Transmitter and the ED3538R Receiver. The ED3538T features one 10/100BaseT RJ-45 port for Ethernet connectivity, one RJ-11/terminal block connector for connection to a copper-pair cable, as well as dual power inputs for redundancy. The ED3538R has a receiving RJ-11/terminal block connector as well as a 10/100BaseT RJ-45 port that supports PoE+ device connectivity.

The ED3538T/R extender system is built to a rugged design so that it can be installed in demanding locations. The enclosure is made of aluminium and is rated to IP30, it can be DIN-rail, wall or panel mounted and has an operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°. By virtue of its design credentials, this extender system can be located in environments where other equipment would become unreliable.

Michael Whitehead, Amplicon’s Data Communications Product Specialist commented: “Ethernet extenders are an innovative communications tool that can save integrators and installers large sums of money. With the ED3538T/R solution, you not only greatly reduce the costs involved with cable installation, but you also benefit from the flexibility and ease of deployment of PoL, completely removing the requirement for remote power”.
