Patton’s CopperLink Auto-Rate Ethernet Extenders
are the perfect fit for simple, cost-effective high
speed Ethernet Extension. They allow customers to
take advantage of the existing copper infrastructure
to connect remote LAN’s across distances and at
speeds previously unthought-of. The auto-rate fea-
ture ensures the highest speed is achieved on each
connection, and the plug-n-play operation ensures
they are up and running in seconds. Add in the
auto-sensing full/half duplex 10/100Base-T
Ethernet port and the integrated crossover switch
to make setup even easier, and the value of these
Ethernet Extenders can’t be beat!
• Auto-Rate Feature
The advanced auto-rate algorithm automatically
determines the best possible rate for each connec
tion and sets up each extender without any need for
user interface.
• Plug-and-Play
Just unpack the extenders, plug them into each end
of the extension, power them up, and they are up
and running. It doesn’t get any easier!
• High Speed/Long Reach
These Ethernet Extenders provide the best combi-
nation of speed and distance seen anywhere in the
industry !
The Auto-rate feature ensures
that the best combination of
speed and distance is achieved
for each LAN extension
