Low-Cost Long Reach Ethernet Over Coax/UTP Extender Kit (200 Mbps) - NL-230FKIT

• Point-to-Point Kit: Includes two (2) NL-230F units to establish a high-speed Ethernet link over existing cabling.
• Coax or Twisted Pair Support: Features a combo LRE interface for seamless integration over 75-ohm coaxial cable (RG-59/RG-6) or twisted-pair network cable (Cat5, Cat6, or Cat7).
• Deployment: Plug-and-play operation with no configuration required.
• Coax Performance: Supports distances up to 1,640 feet (500m) over standard 75-ohm coax, with 100Mbps symmetrical speeds up to 984 feet (300m).
• UTP Performance: Supports 100Mbps symmetrical speeds up to 1,640 feet (500m) over network cable, with long-reach capability up to 2,642 feet (800m) at 10Mbps.
• 1000Base-T Ethernet Support: Each unit features two (2) 10/100/1000Mbps auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports.
• SFP Slot: Includes an integrated SFP slot for optional fiber media conversion (requires SFP transceiver, not included).

The Netsys NL-230FKIT Long Reach Ethernet Kit is a point-to-point solution designed to extend network connectivity beyond the 328-foot (100m) limit of standard Ethernet by utilizing existing 75-ohm coaxial or twisted-pair copper infrastructure. This bridge delivers reliable connectivity for remote IP cameras, VoIP phones, or wireless access points without the need for new cabling.

The NL-230FKIT includes two adapters ready for immediate deployment with no configuration required. Using the integrated combo LRE interface, a stable link can be established over standard RG-59/RG-6 coax or network-grade cable (Cat5 or above). Each compact unit features two auto-sensing Gigabit Ethernet ports to support multiple devices at either end of the link.

The system is designed for fixed-rate reliability over extended reaches. Over coax, the system provides 100Mbps symmetric operation up to 984 feet (300m). Over twisted pair, it supports 100Mbps symmetric up to 1,640 feet (500m) and 10Mbps up to 2,642 feet (800m). Each NL-230F also includes an SFP slot for optional fiber media conversion. Housed in a durable metal enclosure, the NL-230FKIT is a straightforward, cost-effective solution for both structured wiring and field deployments.
