Description

StarTech C2-ETHERNET-EXTENDER Long-Range LAN Extender Kit

Overview

The StarTech C2-ETHERNET-EXTENDER is a kit designed to extend standard 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections over distances up to 800 meters (2624 feet) using a single pair of unshielded twisted pair (UTP) wires. This is critical for deploying network devices like IP cameras or access control panels in locations where running new Ethernet cable is impractical or cost-prohibitive. It effectively bridges the gap between standard Ethernet and longer-reach serial transmission, maintaining 100 Mbps speeds.

Compatibility

This extender kit is compatible with any standard Ethernet device or network infrastructure that supports 10/100 Mbps connectivity. It functions at Layer 1 (physical layer), meaning it's protocol-agnostic and works with any system that adheres to IEEE 802.3u and IEEE 802.3i standards. This includes most IP cameras, network switches, NVRs, and access control systems that utilize RJ-45 connectors.

Installation Notes

Each kit includes two units: a local and a remote extender. Power is supplied via a 12V DC, 1A adapter (included) to the local unit, which then powers the remote unit through the same wire pair used for data transmission. The maximum data rate is 100 Mbps, and it supports Jumbo Frames up to 16K. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 50°C (32°F to 122°F). Ensure the single pair of wires used is in good condition to maintain signal integrity over the extended distance.
