EXSYS EX-1446 Gigabit Ethernet Extender Kit over 2-Wire Copper, 1200 m Range, VDSL2, Metal Housing, Black

The EXSYS EX-1446 is a Gigabit Ethernet extender kit that transmits 10/100/1000 Mbps data over existing 2-wire copper cables up to 1200 meters. Using VDSL2 technology, it converts Ethernet to a long-range signal for point-to-point connections over telephone wires, alarm cables, or any twisted pair. The kit includes two compact metal units, each with one RJ45 Gigabit port and a 2-pin terminal block for the copper line.

Advantages

This extender eliminates the need for new cable runs by leveraging existing copper infrastructure. It delivers full Gigabit speeds at short distances and maintains reliable connectivity over long spans. The robust metal housing withstands harsh environments, with an operating temperature range from -20°C to 70°C. Wall-mounting and optional DIN-rail installation provide flexible deployment. LED indicators on each unit show power, Ethernet link/activity, and extender link/activity for easy troubleshooting.

Suitable for

• Extending networks in industrial facilities, warehouses, and outdoor areas
• Connecting remote buildings using existing telephone or alarm wiring
• Upgrading legacy copper infrastructure to Gigabit Ethernet without rewiring
• Point-to-point links for IP cameras, access points, or remote workstations

Recommendations

For best performance, use twisted-pair copper cable (Cat.5e or higher) and avoid running parallel to high-voltage lines. Ensure both units are powered and the terminal block connections are secure. This kit is ideal for system integrators and IT professionals seeking a cost-effective, long-range Gigabit extension over existing copper.
