LevelOne VDS-1201 verkkomediakonvertteri 100 Mbit/s musta

The LevelOne VDS-1201 is a wired network media converter that converts Ethernet to VDSL2, enabling the transmission of high-bandwidth data over existing twisted-pair telephone wiring. It supports IEEE 802.3 and IEEE 802.3u standards, operates at up to 100 Mbit/s in both directions, and can extend network links up to 300 meters without additional Ethernet switches or Cat.5 cabling. The unit includes LED indicators for DSL, LAN and Power and runs on a 12V, 1A power input.

Advantages

Using VDSL2 technology, the VDS-1201 provides symmetric 100 Mbps downstream and upstream performance over traditional phone lines, reducing the need for new Ethernet cabling and lowering deployment costs. The device is plug-and-play for quick installation and includes a built-in DIP switch for customized configuration. Compact and lightweight, it is suitable for retrofitting networks in existing buildings.

Suitable for

• Apartments and condominiums
• Hotels and hospitality properties
• University campuses and educational buildings
• Small office environments and branch locations
• Sites where existing copper telephone wiring is available

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 Ethernet port to your LAN switch or router and the VDSL pair to the existing copper telephone line toward the remote VDSL device. Power the unit with a 12V, 1A adapter and verify the LED indicators for DSL, LAN and Power to confirm link status. Use the built-in DIP switch to adjust settings for advanced network configurations as needed. The device is plug-and-play for basic setups and does not require special drivers.

Recommendations

Install the VDS-1201 where existing twisted-pair wiring is intact and cable runs are within 300 meters for optimal VDSL2 performance; for longer distances, consider additional media conversion or repeaters. Ensure the network uses Annex A if the PSTN telephone system is present.
