The PLANET VC-231GP is a high-performance Gigabit Ethernet-over-VDSL2 converter with built-in IEEE 802.3at PoE+ injector, making it the ideal solution for powering remote IP cameras, wireless access points, or VoIP door phones over a single cable. Combining VDSL2, Gigabit Ethernet, and PoE+, the VC-231GP delivers up to 150/150Mbps symmetric throughput (G.INP, 8dB) over 300 meters of telephone wire.
With plug-and-play setup, CO/CPE mode switching, and an included splitter for voice/data sharing, it simplifies deployment in new or existing installations. The VC-231GP can operate in point-to-point scenarios or point-to-multipoint topologies with PLANET IP DSLAMs like the VC-820M.
