Search Tips...

Keyword Search
Our search engine uses any or all keywords typed in the text box to give you product search results.
For instance, typing in kvm will give you a broader set of results than kvm switch cables.

Note, however, that keywords in quotes are treated as a single phrase and will not be evaluated individually.

Booleans (AND, +, OR, NOT, -) are not supported.

Also, some keywords will not return results, and may automatically correct to a similar keyword.

Part Number Search Selection
Select this Search in the drop down box to search by part number instead of keywords.

Wild Card Search
The * character is only supported in a limited capacity. Using whole words is the best approach whenever possible.

"New Search" Radio Button
Search the entire section that you are currently in.

"Search Within Results" Radio Button
Enter keywords or a part number to limit your results within the previously searched results.


Other features

A list of all matching product categories or resources will appear in the upper left corner of the results page, when applicable, to help you further narrow your results, if you desire.

Use the "sort by" drop-down menu on the results page to sort by "most popular" and price (low to high or high to low)
in the store section.

    • Description

    High-Speed Ethernet Extender Kit


    Quick Facts

  • Use a single voice-grade twisted-pair cable to extend your network at greater distances without forgoing speed or having to use CAT5e or fiber cabling.
  • Distances up to 6000 feet (1828.8 m).
  • Ideal for extending 10-/100-Mbps links to remote buildings, those beyond the 328-foot (100-m) limit of Ethernet.

    • Further Details

  • Offers data rates up to 50 Mbps in each direction for an aggregated full-duplex speed of 100 Mbps.
  • Switch-selectable line rates—choose the optimal speed for a particular application.
  • Asymmetric or symmetric operation.
  • Great for bandwidth-intensive applications, with performance approximating that of fiber.
  • Interconnect remote devices or networks to a central LAN for videoconferencing, VoIP calling, Ethernet bridging, or provisioning broadband triple-play (Internet, TV, and telephone) services.
  • Simple to install, and there’s no configuration or complex cabling to deal with.
  • Autodetects 10-/100-Mbps connections, autonegotiating full- or half-duplex.
  • Auto MDI-X detects the link’s pinning, so you can use straight or cross-pinned cables.
  • Bridges LANs transparently, passing higher layer protocols. Also supports 802.1Q VLAN tagged and untagged traffic.
  • Configure each extender in the kit as a local or remote unit with a slide of a switch.
  • Not backwards compatible with the earlier version of this product (LB401A).

    • The High-Speed Ethernet Extender Kit is ideal for service providers who want to differentiate their services and provide various speeds to customers.

    The High-Speed Ethernet Extender Kit includes (2) extender units, switch-selectable for use as either a remote or local unit.

    NOTE: Line rates are for 24 AWG, 0.5-mm cable.
