A transparent Ethernet Line extender connects two Industrial Ethernet networks over long distances via twisted pair cable removing the need, for example, to install fibre optic cables.
Westermo Data Communications announce the release of a Line Extender for connecting two Industrial Ethernet networks over long distances via twisted pair cable. The unit is ideal for utilising existing wiring to link remote sites to a central industrial Ethernet network removing the need to install fibre optic cables for instance. The DDW-100 is designed as a transparent Ethernet Line Extender for 10/100BaseTX networks.
Using the SHDSL (Symmetric High-Bitrate Digital Subscriber Loop) standard the unit can send data at rates from 192kbit/s to 2.3Mbit/s in both directions over distances of up to 6.5km.
SHDSL represents the best of several DSL technologies that have been combined into a single industry standard.
The din rail mounted DDW-100 is designed for industrial environments.
The ruggedised unit can operate in a wide temperature range (-25 to +70 deg C) and total galvanic isolation and transient protection of the electronics makes it suitable for a broad range of applications including the railway industry.
Because the DDW-100 is a bridge not a router, it is very simple to install, with all configuration done by DIP-switches.
Comprehensive diagnostics include line-testing software to access the quality of the DSL.
The data transfer speed/settings can be adjusted accordingly to improve reliability.
Settings include reliable mode, normal mode or high speed mode.
The DDW-100 has an RJ-11 connector for the DSL line.
The Ethernet port has a RJ-45 connection which features Auto MDI/MDI-X, Auto negotiation and Auto polarity.
The unit has redundant power options and also a wide DC input range of 10-60V DC.
