SHDSL Feature

[hclisschennai]

Hi Everybody,

I want to connect my office to my another office which is 5 Kms away. I donot want to use Leased Line / Internet or Optical Fiber cable due to cost concerns.

I can lay a dead pair copper cable between offices. What is the best Cisco Device i can use to connect my office using dead copper cable?

I heard using SHDSL Technology it is possible. Can anybody suggest me the solution

Can you please help me telling

Yes, there are the HWIC-SHDSL card that you can use.

You will notice however, that if you have to physically lay the cable, fiber can actually be cheaper than copper.

Hi,

Thanks for your response.

But i donot have any router to install the module you are suggesting.

Is there any device like LAN Extender which will give this feature

5 Km is too much for LAN extender. As mentioned before, look at the HWIC-SHDSL module, these can work with 1 or 2 dry pairs.

Hi

I just found one product Cisco 878 having G.SHDSL Interface. Whether it will suite?

Moreover what is the difference between SHDSL and G.SHDSL

Yes, the 878 can be used back-to-back. There is no difference, just terminology.
