Network Media Converter ALLNET ALL-GHN101-2wire

The ALLNET ALL-GHN101-2wire is a wired network media converter that extends gigabit Ethernet connectivity over existing in-home telephone wiring, eliminating the need for additional network cabling. It supports IEEE 802.3 standards and delivers a maximum data transfer rate of 1000 Mbit/s over distances up to 300 m, while maintaining coexistence with ADSL and VDSL in the frequency range 36–96 MHz. The compact white unit includes LED indicators for link and activity and has a typical power consumption of 3.5 W.

Advantages

The ALL-GHN101-2wire enables fast network expansion without rewiring by using existing telephone lines. It provides gigabit-speed transmission (1000 Mbit/s), supports standard Ethernet data rates (1000/100 Mbit/s), and offers LED status indicators for easy diagnostics. The device’s low power consumption and compact form factor simplify installation in home or small-office environments.

Suitable for

• Extending wired Ethernet to rooms without network cabling
• Home offices and small-office networks
• Situations where rewiring is impractical or costly
• Environments that require coexistence with ADSL/VDSL services

How to use

Connect the ALL-GHN101-2wire to the existing in-wall telephone line and to your Ethernet device using the RJ-45 ports. Power the unit and observe the LED indicators to confirm link and activity status. Configure network devices (PC, router, switch) as required; no special drivers are needed for standard Ethernet operation. For optimal performance, ensure the telephone wiring is in serviceable condition and follow any local wiring regulations.

Recommendations

Install the media converter away from strong electrical interference sources, and verify ADSL/VDSL compatibility in the 36–96 MHz range when used alongside broadband telephone services. For longest reliable distances, use good-quality in-home wiring and avoid excessive splices.
