High Speed Ethernet Extenders
CopperLink CL-SFP Copperlink SFP Module, Long Range, High Speed, Single Pair, GigE Ethernet Extender SFP

This Industrial Ethernet Extender is packaged in an SFP module and delivers Ethernet-over-Copper (Twisted Pair) at extraordinary distance (Up to 3.5 Miles) and speed (Up to 18 Mbps)!

• SFP Ethernet Extender - Hot-pluggable SFP module Extends 100BASE-FX/1000BASE-X Ethernet over 3.5 miles (18,000 feet, 6.2 Km) using 2-wire twisted-pair.
• Superior Bandwidth - Supports composite wire speeds of 1.5 Mbps to 18 Mbps Bi-directional Data Transmission.
• Proprietary Modulation - Uses a proprietary implementation of Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) to achieve unprecedented speeds over only 2-wires.
• Automatic Detection & Selection - Automatically detects 100BASE-FX or 1000BASE-X interfaces with Automatic Speed Selection (Auto Rate Mode).
• Fast Connect - Fast Link Synchronization and Link Recovery, (typically link in less than 3 seconds in Fixed Rate Mode).
• Configuration & Management - Configurable using HTTP Web GUI and Telnet CLI (Command Line Interface). Digital Diagnostic Monitoring (DDM) allows users to monitor parameters of the transceivers in real time. Voltage Measurement Included.
• EMI/RFI Containment - Metallic Enclosure for maximum EMI/RFI containment and durability.
• Isolation & Overvoltage Protection - The copper line interface has 1500V RMS or 2250V DC isolation and its protection meets ITU-T Rec. K.20/K.21.
• Low Power Consumption - Low Power (< 800mW). 3.3 vDC from SFP host.
• SFP Compliant - Fully Complies with SFP MSA Specification.
• Locking Wire Connections - Push-in & Crimp Connectors with Snap-in Locking (included). Available with Single Pair Ethernet compliant (IEC 63171-6) Metal Latching connector or Combicon XC with Snap-in Locking connector.

The Patton CopperLink SFP is a single pair, low power SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) Ethernet-over-Copper Extender.  The module can be plugged into any Router, Ethernet Switch or Media Converter that has SFPs slots that support 100BASE-FX and/or 1000BASE-X.

The CopperLink SFP supports distances of up to 3.5 miles (18,000 feet, 6.2 Km) over 1 pair of wires.  The embedded firmware is optimized for full duplex rates between 1.5 and 18Mbps. 

The device uses a proprietary implementation of Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) technology with lower frequency bandwidths compared to VDSL/ADSL technology.  As a result, the transmission presents less interference with other signals in wire bundles making the transmission safer and more reliable.

Configuration is done with a user-friendly Web GUI, or with an intuitive CLI accessed via Telnet.   The units can set to fixed transmission rates or automatically adapt the transmission rate.

The link synchronization in Fixed Rate Mode is very fast at between 2 and 10 seconds. In Auto Rate Mode, SFP modems automatically adjust the transmission rate to the optimum performance that line conditions can support. The copper line interface has 1500V RMS isolation and meets the ITU-T K.20/K.21 protection standard.

Link Quality Monitoring provides users with link performance information useful during installation and maintenance.   Fast Link Recovery Automatic Active Device Detection allows the CL-SFP to detect an active device on the remote side of the line and recognize a line failure.
