Wiring for VDSL ports
The VDSL port of VC-1602 uses one RJ-21 (Telco 50) connector to connect up to 16
VDSL converters (VC-102S, VC-101S or Cisco LRE modem) through structured or
unstructured wiring, such as existing telephone lines. The link between the VDSL switch
port and each converter can reach speeds of up to 15/17 Mbps over distances of up to
5000 feet (1500 meters). You can hot swap the VDSL converters without powering down
the switch or disrupting the other switch ports.
If telephone services, such as voice or an Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN), use
the same cabling as VDSL traffic, the VDSL port must be connected to the patch panel
through a plain old telephone service (POTS) splitter. The splitter routes VDSL data
(high-frequency) and voice (low-frequency) traffic from the telephone line to the switch
and private branch exchange (PBX) switch or public switched telephone network (PSTN).

If the port is connected but the relevant LED is dark, check the following items:
1. The switch and the connected device’s power are on or not.
2. The connecting cable is good and with correct type.
3. The cable is firmly seated in its connectors in the switch and in the associated
device.
4. The connecting device, including any network adapter is well installed and
functioning.
5. Confirm the CPE device is implemented within the scope of operative without
interference.
For more information about the splitter, please consult your local dealer about the splitter and
refer the user’s guide of the splitter.
ëNote
PLANET VC-1602
products are designed to share lines with analog,
Integrated Services Digital Network (ISD
N), and digital private branch
exchange (PBX) switch telephones that use the 0 to
range. Digital telephones connected to digital PBX switches that use
frequencies above 700 kHz do not work when sharing a line with LRE
signals. Due to the
proprietary nature of digital PBX switches, some digital
PBX switch services use frequencies above 700 kHz. Besides, digital
telephones connected to digital PBX switches that use frequencies above
700 kHz will not work when sharing a line with LRE signals.
