The FRT-40x series is a perfect FTTH Digital Home Router which can provide very high performance access to Internet, both downstream and upstream up to 100Mbps through the fiber interface. For WAN connection, the FRT-40x series supports several common optical connectors including 100Base-BX, 100Base-LX, 100Base-FX and Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP). The Fiber Router can be implemented easily for optical fiber deployment.

The FRT-40x series provides QoS functions to enable smooth network services. Traffic priority can be assigned by the router to guarantee some important and specific transmissions, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as the on-line gaming, VoIP, and IPTV to keep the bandwidth usage smoothly. Furthermore, the Fiber Router FRT-40x series not only provides basic router functions like DHCP server, Virtual Server, DMZ, and UPnP, but also features full firewall functions including Network Address Translation (NAT), IP / Port / MAC Filtering and Content Filtering. It serves as an Internet firewall to protect your network from being accessed by unauthorized users.

Features:

- Complies with 100Base-FX

- Supports TS-1000 and 802.3ah OAM

- SPI Firewall for Anti-DoS Prevention

- Quality of Service Control for FTTH Applications

- Various choices of fiber-connector from SC, WDM and SFP, multi-mode / single-mode fiber / 100Base SFP

Application:

Internet Connection with Fiber Optic

The FRT-40x series is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed Internet connection allowing multiple users to access the Internet simultaneously. With built-in 100Base-FX fiber interface, the FRT-40x series supports WAN distance up to 15~60 Km by working with different types of optic fiber connectors. The FRT-40x is the ideal solution for FTTH (Fiber-to-the-home) applications. It can handle multiple high-throughput services such as IPTV, on-line gaming, VoIP, Internet access and keep the bandwidth usage smoothly. The FRT-40x series also incorporates a 4-Port 10/100Base-TX switching hub, which makes it easily create or extend your LAN and prevents the attacks from Internet.

Telecom-Level, Non-Stop 100/100Mbps VDSL2 CO Solution

High Performance VDSL2 Data Rate over Existing Phone LinesFor Ultra-High VDSL2 performance and cost effective solution, PLANET releases new Managed VDSL2 CO (Central Office) Switch series - VC-2400MR / VC-2400MR48 which provide 24-Port VDSL2, 2-Port Gigabit TP / SFP combo interfaces and Hot-Swappable AC/DC Redundant Power System. The VC-2400MR series is perfectly designed for FTTx last mile applications by ISPs, Telecoms, campuses and hotel. PLANET provide a VDSL2 total solution by co-working with PLANET developed VDSL2 CPE (Customer Premises Equipment) - the VC-23x series CPE, up to 100/100Mbps bandwidth and multiple selective profiles provides ultra-high performance to the pervasive telephone line network, and has the advantage of minimum installation time and minimum expense by allowing voice and data to share the same telephone pair without interference. Moreover, the maximum 1.4km distance provides wide coverage for service providers. The two Gigabit TP / SFP combo interfaces can be either 1000Base-T for 10/100/1000Mbps or 1000Base-SX/LX through SFP, which provides flexible media and distance selection and fat pipes for connecting to the backbone or connecting to servers.

Extremely Reliable Design to Ensure Continuous Operation

The VC-2400MR Series supports the optional hot-swappable Redundant Power System (RPS) to ensure continuous operation. To enhance the reliability, both the VC-2400MR and VC-2400MR48 provide one spare power supply unit slot for optional 100~240V AC or DC -48V redundant power supply installation. The continuous power systems are specifically designed to handle high tech facilities requiring the highest power integrity available. Also, the -48V DC power supply implemented makes the VC-2400MR Series VDSL2 Switch as a telecom level device that can be located at the electronic room.



Features:

- 24-Port VDSL2 subscriber interface
- Built-in POTS Splitter
- 2-Port Gigabit TP / SFP combo interface
- ITU-T G.993.2, 8a / 8b / 12a / 12b / 17a / 30a Profiles
- AC / DC Power slots for Redundant Power support
- 802.1Q / Q-in-Q / GVRP VLAN
- IP DSCP QoS and Bandwidth Control
- IGMP Snooping v1 / v2 and Query mode
- Layer 3 / 4 ACL, SSL and Port Security
- SNMP v1 / v2c / v3 and 4 RMON Groups



Application: Last Mile of FTTx Deployment


The VC-2400MR Series provides up to 100/100Mbps symmetric data rate within 300m and in long range connections; it provides ultra-high performance to the pervasive telephone line network. With the two built-in mini-GBIC 1000Base-SX/LX SFP (Small Form-Factor Pluggable) interfaces, the VC-2400MR Series can be deployed from within 550 meters (Multi-mode fiber) up to above 10/50/70/120 kilometers (Single-mode fiber). The various distances of SFP (small-form factor) and Bidi (WDM) transceivers are optional for customers. The long distance support feature makes the VC-2400MR Series a great and ideal solution for FTTx (Fiber to the Building, Fiber to the Campus or Fiber to the Home) applications. It supports high bandwidth VDSL2 over existing telephone wires in the "last mile" from the ISP / Telecom / Service provider's fiber node to the buildings and customers' home.
