High Performance Ethernet over VDSL Solution
The PLANET VC-201A is an Ethernet-over-VDSL2 media converter with high performance. It is designed based on two core networking technology, Ethernet and VDSL2 (Very-high-data-rate Digital Subscriber Line 2). The VDSL2 technology offers the absolutely fastest data transmission speeds over existing copper telephone lines without the need of rewiring. The VC-201A supports ultra-high performance to the pervasive telephone line network with up to 100/55Mbps asymmetric data rate within 200m and 25/4Mbps for 1.6km long range connections.

Provides Superior Upstream and Downstream Transmission
The VC-201A also defines asymmetric (Plan 998) and symmetric (Plan 997) band plans for the transmission of upstream and downstream signals. The featured band plan 997 provides the symmetric transmission on both downstream and upstream. On the other hand, the band plan 998 performs higher transmission quality in short range for central side (CO) in asymmetric mode. In all, when the VC-201A is in symmetric mode, it provides better upstream performance, and when the VC-201A is in asymmetric mode, it gives better downstream performance.
