Patton Opens Pre-Orders for Managed, Copper-Bonding Ethernet Extenders with Security Features10.16.2013 Creator of the award-winning CopperLink� Ethernet Extender responds to market demand by introducing the CL2300 line-bonding Ethernet-over-copper extender series featuring remote management capability and such security features as SSH and Stateful Firewall.�
Made in the USA at Patton�s Gaithersburg, MD headquarters, the CL2300 can bond up to four copper twisted pairs for Ethernet Extension over existing voice-grade copper cabling with symmetrical speeds up to 60 Mbps. The CL2300 can achieve distances up to 27,000 feet over standard copper twisted pairs. �Customers have asked us,� said Johnnie Grant, CopperLink product manager, �to create a smarter copper-based Ethernet Extension solution that can be managed remotely and securely. Here it is� the CopperLink 2300 is our answer. Our newest CopperLink has more features than any of its predecessors, with the same simple plug-and-play operation our customers love.�� Patton's CL2300 4-port managed Ethernet extenders feature remote management (via RS-232 console) with such security features as SSH and Stateful Firewall�plus optional Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) on one of the four Ethernet ports. The CL2300 can reach up to 27,000 feet over standard voice-grade copper cable. Perhaps the greatest customer benefit of Patton�s CopperLink line is extending the useful life of existing�and ubiquitous�copper network infrastructures.� �You can use what you�ve already got,� Grant comments. �The time and cost of installing new fiber, or even Cat5, can easily turn any networking project into a non-starter.� Patton has built Ethernet extenders in the USA ever since bringing the first Ethernet extender to market in the 1990s. Branded the LAN-Xtend�, Patton's� Model 2111 achieved 2.3 Mbps over single twisted-pair. Today CopperLink� Ethernet Extenders are installed and operating in a vast diversity of environments, including Maryland State Highway Administration, nuclear power plants  ,
boy scout camps, submarines, sports arenas, election systems, and a
rock 'n' roll celebrity museum.>>Watch Patton�s on-demand webinar: Multi-Drop Ethernet for Industrial Applications This past July, Patton announced another product that leverages installed copper lines: the US-manufactured ForeFront� 3310RC Ethernet-in-the-First-Mile (EFM) DLSAM delivers broadband Ethernet service to users up to 1.6 miles away�with speeds up to 22.8 Mbps.
