Specifications

   Product Overview:
  • The Cisco WS-C2912-LRE-XL is a 12-port Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) switch from the Cisco Catalyst 2900 XL Series, designed to deliver broadband Ethernet connectivity over existing telephone wiring. This innovative switch enables 10 Mbps Ethernet transmission up to 5,000 feet (1.5 km) using standard RJ-11 phone lines, making it the ideal solution for multi-tenant units (MxU) such as hotels, dormitories, apartment complexes, and campus environments.
  • With 12 RJ-11 LRE ports and 2 standard 10/100BASE-TX uplink ports, the WS-C2912-LRE-XL provides an affordable, scalable, and secure method of extending high-speed Ethernet without the need for costly re-cabling. It also features Cisco’s advanced VLAN management, port security, and QoS capabilities to ensure optimal network segmentation, performance prioritization, and operational integrity.
  • Whether upgrading legacy networks or deploying in new builds with existing phone lines, this model offers an unbeatable blend of affordability, Cisco reliability, and enterprise-class features.
