CopperLink Model CL1300MDE overview

The CL1300MDE Multi-Drop Ethernet Extender used in conjunction with the CL1314R Ruggedized Long Range

Ethernet Extender makes Ethernet extension a breeze.The MDE series of Long Range Ethernet Extenders allows users to

replace their legacy serial coms with cost-effective Ethernet (IP) that is easy and inexpensive to set up. Featuring plug-and-

play installation, the CL1300 MDE leverages existing copper twisted-pair infrastructure to interconnect Ethernet devices

and networks at moderate speeds over long distances. The MDE Extender not only allows multi-drop functionality but

also serves a repeater function doubling your maximum distance at every hop.

Operating over standard 0.5 mm (24 AWG) voice-grade wiring, the CL1314MDE delivers speeds up to 15.3 Mbps and

extends Ethernet connections across distances up to 10 km (6.2 miles) per hop. Whether you need connect to a remote

offices, kiosks, guard stations, train stations, digital sensors or IP cameras—Patton Ethernet Extenders offer the industry's

optimum combination of speed and distance. Patton's CopperLink Ethernet Extenders ensure hassle-free set-up and oper-

ation, while achieving the highest possible line rate for the required distance and electromagnetic environment. Users can

"hard-set" the desired line rate via DIP switch, GUI or console Telnet.

Operating at layer 2 of the OSI model (data link layer), the CL1314MDE transparently passes all higher-layer protocols—

including VLAN tagging, multicast addressing, VPN pass-through for IPsec, and all IP-video compression schemes. All

common industrial protocols are also transparently supported, including MODBUS/TCP and PROFINET IO.
