OVERVIEW
MEG201AE works as a transparent point to point Bridge for Ethernet and/or Telephony
connections using a Transmitter and a Receiver. When used with the VDSL2 switch
MEG821AE it is a Multipoint to Point solution. The MEG201AE uses new VDSL2
technology operating at different frequency bands with the feature to adapt its
performance to the characteristics of the copper medium used. The following cable
lengths and bandwidths are possible according to the band profile setup:
30a (Default band profile)
0-350m at 100Mbps down- and upstream
350-450m
at
70-85/40Mbps
downstream/upstream
450-600m
at
40-60/10Mbps
downstream/upstream
600-900m
at
20-40/1-5Mbps
downstream/upstream
Using Band profile 30a for distances
beyond 900m is not recommended
8d (Alternative band profile)
0-800m at 60-80/15 Mbps downstream/upstream
800-1200m
at
30-50/5-10
Mbps
downstream/upstream
1200-1500m
at
30/2-5
Mbps
downstream/upstream
Using Band profile 8a for distances
beyond 1500m is not recommended
Downstream: Traffic from Transmitter to Receiver
Upstream: Traffic from Receiver to Transmitter
For distances higher than those mentioned above, the MEG201AE is not the
recommended product. Other Black Box xDSL products should then be your
choice. Check MDS93x, MDS95x, MDE5xxx or MEG101 series products to get
distances of many many kilometers
These distances may and will vary depending on the quality of your wires. Keep in mind
that every intermediate connection of the cable will possibly increase losses and result in
less reach and/or bandwidth. Avoid cables that are not truly isolated, that may get wet or
are old and corroded. Running high power current nearby is also not recommended due
to the possibility of induced interference.
Avoid using telephony RJ11 ribbon cables. These cables are built with using very
low diameter stranded cables. Using them will mean that bandwidth is lower and
reach is shorter!
