Break 100-meter Ethernet limit for IP Surveillance Deployment
Ethernet Distance extension via Coaxial

PLANET VC-202A is the high-performance Ethernet-over-Coaxial extender that converts between twisted pair (UTP) and coaxial cable for every kind of IP Ethernet application. It offers the absolutely fastest data transmission speed over existing coaxial cable without the need of rewiring. On the UTP side, the VC-202A uses a modular EIA / TIA 568 RJ-45 connector that supports CAT-5/5e or above wiring with the distance up to 100 meters (328 feet). On the coaxial cable side, the VC-202A utilizes a BNC connector that supports 50ohm or 75ohm coaxial cable with the distance up to 3km. It is ideal for extending the distance and signal conversion by transmitting the Ethernet data from the coaxial cable for any type of IP network device such as IP camera, wireless access point, NVR and digital signage.

Cost-effective / Quick Upgrade Legacy Devices to All-IP network

PLANET VC-202A Ethernet extender provides a quick replacement and smooth migration solution from existing analog system to full digital system. For example:
- Upgrade analog camera to digital IP Camera
- IP Digital Signage deployment
- Cable TV to IPTV

The VC-202A equips one RJ-45 and one BNC Port to transmit the Ethernet data over the most widespread coaxial cable. Therefore, it is very suitable and costless for upgrading legacy devices to new digital devices of IP-based network because almost every house or block on the street could use the existing coaxial cable to transmit data to the Internet and the whole building could share the Internet line in the wide network area with minimum cost. Reuse the existing cable instead of new wire can save extra wiring cost as the coaxial cable and Ethernet line are already available.

- Cost-effective and effortless Ethernet extend solution
- Ethernet over legacy coaxial cable
- Long transmission distance up to 3km
- High data rate, suited to H.264/Mega-Pixel IP camera applications
- One box design, CO / CPE selectable via DIP Switch
- Compact size, wall-mountable or DIN-Rail installation (optional)
- Rack-Mount installation with PLANET MC family Media Chassis

Community / Campus Surveillance and Security over IP

To take advantage of digital surveillance system and keep the benefits of coaxial cable, the VC-202A helps the community, campus and enterprises to upgrade analog camera system to IP camera surveillance without using additional new wires. The Converter is a switching architecture with one RJ-45 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet port and one BNC Ethernet over Coaxial port. Just plug-in the UTP cable of IP camera to Ethernet port and the existing coaxial cable to the BNC connector. It is easy to deploy and extend the distance with signal conversion by transmitting the Ethernet data
from the standard coaxial cable. Furthermore, with high transmit data rate, the VC-202A solution supports multiple IP cameras input for sharing in one coaxial cable to reduce the cost of cabling.
