Long Ethernet technology can extend your network services beyond the standard 328 feet limitation. Although Ethernet offers an efficient way to link your network across great distances, the range of your cables may not live up to your needs as your network expands. 

With Patton's long Ethernet extenders it is possible to expand the range of your network by up to five miles over existing twisted-pair communications infrastructure. Long Ethernet extenders, such as Patton's CopperLink™ extenders, are simple plug-and-play devices, with no required configuration. Ideal for networks that require high-speed date transmission across great distances, long Ethernet extenders are a cost-effective alternative to laying CAT5 cable. Because they operate over standard voice-grade wire, CopperLink™ solutions eliminate the expense and hassle of installing of long lengths of new wire.

Patton offers a wide range of over 500 network access and connectivity products to increase the productivity and efficiency of your network. Patton's line of Ethernet extenders and LAN bridges are both compatible with other Patton products as well as many third-party manufacturers. Patton offers a variety of models that can be adapted to your particular needs.

Whether you require ultra-high rates or an extended network configuration, Patton has a product that can help you achieve your goal. For example, not all applications require high rate transmissions. Sometimes, distance is the most important charcteristic to look for in a long Ethernet extender. Patton's CopperLink 144-kbps Ethernet Extender can connect two LANs up to eight miles (12.9 km) apart over a single copper twisted-pair without changing the data rate.
