The Model 2158 offers one of the most efficient, reliable, and cost effective solutions for connecting peered 10/100Base-T Ethernet LANs; reaching remote PCs and equipment; or delivering last-mile ISP services—all at 12.5 Mbps!
The Model 2158’s compact size and connection options make installation easy. The 10/100Base-T Ethernet port is equipped with a shielded RJ-45 jack for connection to an Ethernet hub/switch, PC, or network-enabled device. The CopperLink port is equipped with an RJ-45 jack (optional terminal block is also available) for easy connection to the CopperLink Extenders. For convenient installation, the Model 2158 auto-senses and configures for 10Base-T or 100Base-T—as well as full or half-duplex—operation.
The CopperLink Ethernet Extender, providing high speed Ethernet extension at 12.5 Mbps, is the ideal product for educational facilities, office buildings, multi-dwelling units, industrial complexes, government agencies, and military installations. If you want to take your network connections farther and faster over existing copper, Patton’s CopperLink Ethernet Extenders are the perfect choice.

Applications
Ethernet Extension Application
Used in pairs, the Model 2158 establishes a high speed 12.5 Mbps communications link inter-connecting two geographically separated LANs. Operation is simple: packets destined for the remote LAN are sent transparently, at full line rate, to the peered LAN.
Patton’s CopperLink Ethernet Extenders are a clearly superior and cost-effective alternative to expensive fiber and media converters, or LAN-grade cable and repeaters.
Features
- Long-reach High Speed Ethernet Extension—Overcome the 328 ft (100 m) limitation of Ethernet with a full-duplex 12.5 Mbps link at distances up to 4,500 ft (1,372 m)
- Seamlessly Connect and Extend the LAN—802.3 10/100Base-T LAN connection via built-in shielded RJ-45 port
- Patton CopperLink 2-Wire Connection—Easy 2-wire CopperLink connection via built-in RJ-45 port or optional terminal block
- Dual Auto-sensing Full-Duplex Ethernet—Auto 10 or 100Base-T and full or half-duplex Ethernet operation
- Transparent LAN Bridging—Passes higher layer protocols and supports 802.1Q VLAN tagging
- Automatic Learning, Aging, and Filtering—Only allows packets with addresses outside the LAN to be forwarded
