## Summary description

The PLANET VC-231GP is a high-performance network media converter with a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s. It supports multiple input interfaces including 10Base-T, 100Base-T, and 1000Base-T, and complies with various networking standards such as IEEE 802.1p, 802.3, 802.3ab, 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3u, and 802.3x. With a maximum transfer distance of 1400 m, this durable metal housing converter is ideal for extending network connections. It has a typical power consumption of 32.4 W and compact dimensions of 97 mm width, 70 mm depth, and 26 mm height.

## Long description

The PLANET VC-231GP is a single-port Gigabit Ethernet-over-VDSL2 converter with an integrated IEEE 802.3at PoE+ injector, designed to extend Gigabit Ethernet and deliver power to remote PoE devices over existing telephone copper wiring. It supports VDSL2/ADSL2+ technologies and can work with VDSL2 converters or multi-channel VDSL2 switches to transmit Ethernet data up to 1.4 km over phone wire, then forward data and deliver up to 30 W of PoE power over an additional 100 m of UTP cable to IEEE 802.3af/at powered devices.
Advantages
The VC-231GP combines Gigabit Ethernet, VDSL2/ADSL2+ DSL technology and IEEE 802.3at PoE+ in a compact metal enclosure to provide high-speed data transmission and remote device powering without rewiring. It supports asymmetric and symmetric VDSL2 profiles, offers stable DSL links with optional vectoring support to reduce crosstalk, and provides ADSL2+ fallback for compatibility with legacy ISP networks. The unit features two operation modes (CPE and CO) selectable via a DIP switch and includes a telephone splitter to share existing POTS lines.
Suitable for
Extending network connectivity to remote PoE IP cameras
Powering and connecting PoE wireless access points
Connecting PoE VoIP phones or door phones over existing phone lines
Creating point-to-point Ethernet links over copper telephone wiring
Key specifications

Dimensions: 97 × 70 × 26 mm; Weight: 0.206 kg
Color: Black; Housing: metal
How to use
Set the VC-231GP to CPE mode when installing at a remote client site or to CO mode when used at the central site by adjusting the built-in DIP switch. For a point-to-point link, pair the VC-231GP (CPE) with a compatible PLANET CO unit (for example VC-231G or VC-234G) at the central side. Connect the converter to the existing RJ11 telephone jack using the supplied splitter to separate POTS and VDSL2 signals, then run a Cat5e/6 UTP cable from the Gigabit Ethernet port to the remote PoE device. The unit will establish DSL connection automatically and provide data and PoE power to IEEE 802.3af/at powered devices.
Usage recommendations
Install the VC-231GP close to the remote PoE device to minimize UTP cable length (max 100 m for full PoE delivery), use Cat5e or Cat6 cable for the Ethernet run, and pair the device with a PLANET VDSL2 CO unit supporting vectoring when available to improve line stability and throughput.
