## Summary description

The PLANET VC-231G is a compact network media converter designed for converting and bridging Ethernet links. It supports 10/100/1000Base-T(X) with a maximum data rate of 1000 Mbps, one RJ-45 port with Auto MDI/MDI-X and full duplex, metal housing, LED indicators and DC-in jack. Small and lightweight (97×70×26 mm, 184 g), suitable for office and industrial wired networking.

## Long description

The PLANET VC-231G is a network media converter that extends Gigabit Ethernet over existing copper telephone lines using VDSL2 technology. It supports high-speed symmetric and asymmetric data rates over short and long distances, enabling Ethernet connectivity where rewiring is not practical. The compact device provides one RJ45 Ethernet port and one RJ11 VDSL2 phone jack, and can operate as either a Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) or a Central Office (CO) unit.
Advantages
The VC-231G delivers high-performance Ethernet-over-VDSL2 with up to about 190 Mbps symmetric throughput and higher asymmetric profiles for multimedia services. It supports ITU-T G.993.5 vectoring to reduce crosstalk and improve line bandwidth on existing copper infrastructure. The converter is plug-and-play, compact, and equipped with front-panel LEDs for easy diagnostics. A splitter is included to share the telephone line with POTS, so replacing the existing copper wiring is unnecessary.
Suitable for
 Extending Ethernet over existing telephone copper lines without rewiring
 Delivering broadband to apartments, offices, or remote rooms up to 1.4 km away
 Providing bandwidth for triple-play services (IPTV, VoD, VoIP) and home entertainment
 Point-to-point links where one unit is set as CPE and the other as CO
Key specifications
 Data rates: up to 200/160 Mbps (symmetric, G.INP, Sym, 8 dB) over 300 m; up to 20/12 Mbps over 1.4 km; typical VDSL2 up to ~190 Mbps symmetric
 Interface: 1 × 10/100/1000Base-T (RJ45), 1 × RJ11 VDSL2
 Vectoring: ITU-T G.993.5 support
 Modes: CPE and CO (selectable via DIP switch)
 Power: DC 5 V, 2 A
 Dimensions: 97 × 70 × 26 mm; Weight: 0.184 kg
 Standards: IEEE 802.1p, 802.3, 802.3ab, 802.3u, 802.3x
How to use
Install the VC-231G by connecting the RJ11 VDSL2 jack to the existing telephone line and the RJ45 port to the local Ethernet device (PC, switch, or router). Use the supplied splitter if you need to share the copper line with POTS. Set one unit to CO mode and the remote unit to CPE mode for point-to-point connections; change the mode with the built-in DIP switch. Power the device with a DC 5V/2A adapter and monitor the front-panel LEDs to verify link status and diagnostics.
Usage recommendations
For optimal performance, deploy the VC-231G in pairs (one CO and one CPE) and enable vectoring on the corresponding DSLAM when available. Place the units where copper line quality is good and avoid excessive line splices. Use the asymmetric profile for services requiring higher downstream bandwidth (IPTV, VoD) and the symmetric profile for applications needing balanced upstream and downstream throughput.
