Description
The ComNet CNFE1CL1MC 10/100Mbps Ethernet over Coax Media Converter, Ethernet to Copper or COAX. Model CNFE1CL1MC may be utilized as a stand-alone package, or may be mounted within the ComNet C1 Card Cage, and is fully hot-swappable. The ComNet CNFE1CL1MC is an environmentally hardened modem that supports Ethernet over twisted pair or coaxial cable using VDSL2 technology at data rates of up to 90 Mbps. Ethernet data may be transmitted over a telephone-grade twisted copper pair, legacy serial cabling, or standard 75 coaxial cable circuits, making these rugged units ideal for those applications where it is desired to utilize an existing installed base of copper wiring for Ethernet transmission. These modems are the perfect solution for upgrading a legacy twisted copper or coaxial cable plant for use with Ethernet, when compared to the significant costs of installing new network cabling. The CNFE1CL1MC may be deployed in most out-of-plant installations, such as those found in intelligent transportation systems and factory automation/control applications.
