Overview

The Patton CL2302E/M12F/CC/4ETH/DC is a rugged CopperLink 2 Pair (4-Wire) Light Industrial Ethernet Extender Kit designed to extend 10/100Base-TX Ethernet connections over existing copper infrastructure without repeaters. This kit supports symmetrical data rates exceeding 22 Mbps and extends Ethernet connectivity up to 2 miles (3.2 km) over 24 AWG (0.5mm) wire, eliminating the need for costly fiber or new cabling. The CL2302E features M12 female line connectors (8-position) for secure, corrosion-resistant connections in harsh industrial environments, operating reliably from -40°C to 85°C. Powered by 12-48VDC, the extender kit supports four 10/100BaseTX Ethernet ports with auto-sensing full/half-duplex operation and transparent bridging, including 802.1Q VLAN tagging support. With surge suppression rated at 20kA (8/20μs) via gas tube, the device meets FCC Part 15 Class A, EMC Directive 89/336/EEC, and CE Mark compliance. Compact standalone dimensions (1.5H x 4.13W x 3.75D in.) and lightweight design (0.4 lbs) enable flexible deployment in industrial control panels, factory floors, or remote monitoring stations. Ideal for extending Ethernet to PLCs, IP cameras, VoIP systems, or SCADA networks over legacy copper wiring, the CL2302E ensures high-speed, reliable data transmission without complex configuration. The bonding technology leverages existing 2-pair (4-wire) infrastructure, supporting wire gauges from 19-26 AWG, making it a cost-effective solution for upgrading legacy systems.
