RAD ASMi-52L/4ETH/4W 4-Port Ethernet 4-Wire SHDSL Modem / Multiplexer
The ASMi-52L/4ETH/4W is a compact SHDSL modem designed to extend Ethernet services over two copper pairs using 4-wire SHDSL transmission. It enables higher throughput and improved reach compared to 2-wire variants, making it suitable for defence networks, utilities, transport systems, industrial environments and campus deployments.
By utilising dual-pair SHDSL technology, the unit delivers increased symmetrical bandwidth while maintaining reliable Layer 2 Ethernet bridging. Four integrated 10/100Base-T Ethernet ports allow multiple IP devices to be connected and transported transparently across existing copper infrastructure.
This model is ideal where additional copper pairs are available and higher performance is required without deploying fibre.
