Planet - LRE-101C - 1-Port 10/100TX Ethernet over Coaxial Long Reach Ethernet Extender(Up to 2000 meters coaxial cable, Master/Slave mode DIP switch)

Product Overview

The Planet LRE-101C is a 1-port Long Reach Ethernet extender converting 10/100BASE-TX to Ethernet over coaxial cable, supporting distances up to 2000m (6561ft) over 75 ohm coax. Features 1 × 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 port, 1 × BNC female connector, Master/Slave DIP switch for point-to-point or point-to-multi-point topology, and compact metal housing with low power consumption of 1.5W.

Key Configuration

• Interfaces: 1 × 10/100BASE-TX RJ45, 1 × BNC female coaxial port (75Ω)
• Distance: Up to 2 km (6,561 ft) over RG-6/U or RG-59/U coaxial cable
• LAN Cabling: Cat5e or better, up to 100 m
• Frame Size: Supports up to 1522-byte packets
• Power: 5V DC external adapter, 1.5W max consumption
• Installation: Compact metal housing with optional DIN-rail or wall mounting; compatible with PLANET MC-series media converter chassis.

Key Features

Extends Ethernet up to 2 km over existing coaxial cabling, making it suitable for CCTV-to-IP migration projects. Supports Master/Slave operation, point-to-multipoint deployments with BNC T-connectors, and standalone or chassis-based installation. Plug-and-play design with low 1.5W power consumption.

Technical Context

Uses coaxial infrastructure to provide long-distance Ethernet connectivity without replacing legacy cabling. A Master-Slave pair creates a point-to-point link, while daisy-chain support allows multiple devices to share a single coax run. Data throughput depends on cable quality, distance, and network topology.

Installation Notes

Compact metal unit with BNC and RJ45 interfaces. Requires 5V DC external power and 75-ohm RG-6/U or RG-59/U coaxial cable for long-reach operation. Supports optional DIN-rail or wall mounting and is compatible with PLANET MC-series media converter chassis.
