Internet access and telephone services without any need for re-wiring. The VDSL switch has a built-in POTS splitter that combines both the data and phone signals coming from your Internet and telephone service providers, and passes these signals directly over standard telephone wiring to multiple users in the same building.
BOUT THE IGER CCESS The VDSL switch is typically located in a wiring closet or other central location of a multi-dwelling/multi-tenant unit, campus or enterprise. An Internet connection is provided from the ISP to the customer’s building over fiber optic cable, running Ethernet directly over a 1 Gbps connection.
VDSL can operate symmetrically, providing the same data rate in both directions, or asymmetrically, providing a higher data rate in the downstream (receive) direction than in the upstream (transmit) direction.

Internet services operate over existing phone cabling and a minimal amount of network equipment. The only changes require installing a VDSL CPE for each client, and a VDSL switch in the basement or wiring closet. Internet service can then be provided over a direct Ethernet connection from your ISP.
ETWORK LANNING This VDSL switch provides Internet connections of up to 100 Mbps symmetric, or an asymmetric 100 Mbps downstream and 50 Mbps upstream over 200 meters. Cable distances also can run up to 1.5 km at lower transmission rates. Installation is extremely economical for multiple-tenant dwellings such as apartment buildings, hotels or school dormitories, as well as commercial buildings.
70 km. This allows end-users at two sites to use the same Internet connection, share server resources, and communicate with each other. In the figure below, a 1000BASE-SX port on the switch in Building 1 is providing 1000 Mbps connectivity to the switch in Building 2.
ETWORK LANNING can be used for small networks attached to a single switch. However, tagged VLANs should be used for larger networks, and all the VLANs assigned to the inter-switch links. This switch also has a Private VLAN feature. This allows modification of the default VLAN to provide port-based security and isolation between ports within the VLAN.
1. Full-duplex operation only applies to point-to-point access (such as when a switch is attached to a workstation, server or another switch). When the switch is connected to a hub, both devices must operate in half-duplex mode. 2. To interconnect distinct VLANs or IP subnets, you can attach the switch to a standard Layer 3 router.
