Gigabit extenders – High-speed Ethernet up to 1 km
Gigabit extenders enable broadband Gigabit applications over two-wire cables and coaxial cables covering distances of up to 1 km. Use existing cables for sophisticated Ethernet applications and minimize the investment costs of your installation.
With the Power over Link (PoL) and Power over Ethernet (PoE) functions, you can supply connected devices with power via the data lines.
The digitalization of the video transmission offers many advantages, such as high-resolution images and flexible network structures. What is missing, however, is the appropriate technology. Often, there are only coaxial cables or other 2-wire cables available, meaning that Ethernet transmission is not possible. In addition, the distances are often greater than the 100 m permitted for Ethernet.
Gigabit extenders enable the broadband transmission of Ethernet video signals over existing two-wire cables – regardless of whether they are two-wire or coaxial cables. This allows you to benefit from state-of-the-art Ethernet technology. At the same time, you can avoid high installation costs through the sustainable use of existing cables.
Gigabit extenders with a high bandwidth and range
With these devices, you can use existing Gigabit twisted pair or coaxial cables for high-bandwidth Ethernet communication over long distances.
The Gigabit extenders enable broadband Ethernet applications of up to 1 Gbps over distances of up to 1 km. This goes far beyond the standard Ethernet distance of a maximum of 100 m. This means that there are no major restrictions on network extensions when using Ethernet.
Existing Gigabit-capable two-wire lines or coaxial cables are sufficient for robust transmission. You can of course use an existing CAT Ethernet cable; however, this is not necessary.
Gigabit extenders for video surveillance
Power can also be transmitted via the data cables. With the PoL and PoE function, the Gigabit extenders themselves and also the connected PoE end devices are supplied with voltage.
This means that the remote Gigabit extender and PoE end device do not require a separate power supply unit for their supply. Installation is simpler and faster. This results in a large cost reduction due to fewer devices and less installation work.
Connect Ethernet networks over distances of up to 20 km via simple two-wire cables
With Ethernet extenders, you can connect Ethernet networks over distances of up to 20 km via simple two-wire cables. You can combine managed and unmanaged Ethernet extenders in the same network. This innovative approach not only connects simple point-to-point Ethernet applications to create an extender system, but also large IP networks. Moreover, the devices enable extremely easy commissioning using Plug and Play as well as the cost-effective networking and diagnostics of all devices and paths via IP. All extender paths and devices can be easily monitored remotely using a single managed extender. If unexpected events occur, such as a weakening of the route, you will receive a detailed warning.
In this success story, the Bad Pyrmont municipal utilities company reports on the successful use of Ethernet extenders in its plant. The devices can be used to connect Ethernet networks spread over up to 20 km via two-wire cables. Easy startup via plug-and-play enables cost-effective networking and diagnostics of all devices and paths via IP.

The managed Ethernet extender makes your Ethernet network simple and cost-effective
With the managed Ethernet extender, you can diagnose all devices and paths centrally via IP and forward messages automatically to the control center via SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol).
Properties:
The device features intelligent, replaceable, and high-level surge protection. This enables the following result messages to be sent via SNMP:
Plug-and-play also in ring structures
The unmanaged ethernet extender allows easy startup via Plug and Play. Unlike the managed extender, the unmanaged version is protocol-transparent for the Ethernet network. The device does not have its own IP address. This means it can easily be used in any IP network without any prior network knowledge.
The unmanaged Ethernet extender supports point-to-point, line, and ring topologies.
Existing two-wire cables can be used for networking. The system can be extended during operation without causing any adverse impact.
Basic features for quick commissioning via plug-and-play:
• No configuration work necessary
• Time savings with automatic topology and data rate recognition
• Flexible use in point-to-point, line, and ring topologies
Acting as an extender system, the devices not only connect simple point-to-point Ethernet applications, but also extended IP networks.
All extender routes and devices can be remotely monitored easily by using just one managed device.
The VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) allows critical IP networks to be virtually isolated and made even more secure.
