accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions, may cause interference to radio communication. It has been tested and found to
comply with the limits for a Class A computing device in accordance with the specifications in Subpart J of Part 15 of FCC rules,
which are designed to provide reasonable protection against such interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause interference, in which case the user at his own
expense will be required to take whatever measures may be necessary to correct the interference.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to
operate the equipment.
This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class A limits for radio noise emission from digital apparatus set out in the Radio
Interference Regulation of Industry Canada.
Le présent appareil numérique n’émet pas de bruits radioélectriques dépassant les limites applicables aux appareils numériques de
la classe A prescrites dans le Règlement sur le brouillage radioélectrique publié par Industrie Canada.

VDSL2 Line Power Ethernet Extender Kit
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The LBLP01A-KIT, a line power pair of VDSL2 (Very high-bit-rate Digital Subscriber Line) Ethernet Extenders, provides broadband
transmission rates up to 100/60 Mbps downstream/upstream over single-pair copper line for point-to-point Ethernet connectivity.
It’s a cost-effective line power solution for high-bandwidth applications such as LAN-to-LAN connectivity, video streaming, FTTB,
and MDU/MTU.
The LBLP01A-KIT supports transmission distance up to 500 feet (152.4 m) for line power connection at 100/60 Mbps down-
stream/upstream and up to 1000 feet (304.8 m) at 98/53 Mbps downstream/upstream. The LBLP01A-KIT is always configured as
one master unit for the central side, and one slave unit for the remote side. The line power is supplied from the master to slave
unit and conforms to the Safety-Extra-Low-Voltage (SELV) standards. The Ethernet extender kit is also plug-and-play and is easy to
install.
The LBLP01A-KIT also conforms to the ITU-T G.993.1 and G.993.2 to meet VDSL/VDSL2 and SG15Q4 DMT for network require-
ments.
2.2 Features
• ITU-T G.993.1, G.993.2 VDSL/VDSL2 and SG15Q4 DMT compliance
• 100-/60-Mbps downstream/upstream for distances up to 500 feet (152.4 m); 98-/53-Mbps downstream/upstream for
distances up to 1000 feet (304.8 m)
• Supports line power with VDSL2 connection
• Conforms to Safety-Extra-Low-Voltage (SELV) standards
• RJ-11 connector for DSL interfaces plus RJ-45 connector for Ethernet LAN port
• 5 LED indicators for master unit, 4 LED indicators for slave unit
• 4 DIP switches for configuration settings
• Trellis coding support for up to 1024 discrete multi-tone (DMT) bins
• Auto MDI-X for 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet LAN ports, so you don’t need crossover cable on the Ethernet side
• Low latency for video/voice/data applications
• Line surge protection
• Selectable Fast and Interleaved modes
• Selectable fixed data rate and fixed SNR margin

Chapter 3: Installation
3. Installation
Because the VDSL2 Line Power Ethernet Extender units require no configuration, they can be installed quickly. Follow these steps:
1. Connect the line interface between the units via RJ-11 cable.
2. Connect the Ethernet interface using RJ-45 cable.
3. Connect the power plug to the master unit with the 12V/2A DC power adapter.
CAUTION: Verify that the AC-DC adapter conforms to your country’s AC power requirement and then insert the power plug.
NOTE: The interconnecting cables should be acceptable for external use and rated for the proper application considering voltage,
current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
Table 3-1 shows the data rate and transmission distance information via 26 AWG cable at 6 dB without a rate limit.

SW-1: CO/Remote
Off: VDSL2 Line Power Ethernet Extender will act as at the Central Office (Master) side.
On: VDSL2 Line Power Ethernet Extender will act as at the Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) or Remote side.
SW-2: Mode for impulse noise protection
Off: Interleaved mode provides impulse noise protection for any impulse noise with a duration less than 250 µs.
Interleaved mode has a maximum end-to-end latency of 10 ms. Interleaved mode is the default mode.
On: Fast mode guarantees a minimum end-to-end latency less than 1 ms.
SW-3: Rate limit control
Off: Line rate limited to 50-/20-Mbps.
On: Provides up to 100-/60-Mbps line rate for distances up to 500 feet (152.4 m).
SW-4: Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR)
Off: Higher SNR margin (9 dB) will result in fewer errors with a more stable VDSL link.
On: Original and normal channel noise protection with 6 dB SNR.
