FLEX - Base Extender
Overview
The NVT Phybridge FLEX-Base Extender Solution is designed to supercharge the downlink ports of a standard Ethernet switch delivering 10/100Mbps symmetrical (full duplex) and PoE over Multi-Pair UTP infrastructure with distances up to 2,000ft (610m). That’s 6X the reach of standard Ethernet switches, thus removing the costs and disruptions associated with multiple IDF closet requirements.
With the FLEX-Base Extender Solution, IP IoT devices can be connected to the existing Multi-Pair UTP cabling infrastructure, delivering optimal performance while saving cost, time, and environmental e-waste. Furthermore, the cost savings realized by using the FLEX Extender Solution can enable system designers to transfer budget and resources towards higher-quality applications and IEEE-compliant IoT devices, including IP-enabled phones, cameras, access control, speakers and even facility lighting.
