The Cisco Long-Reach Ethernet 575 LRE bridge is engineered to offer high-performance connectivity over existing telephone-grade wiring, allowing users to take advantage of longer-distance networking without the need for complex infrastructure upgrades. With the capability to span up to 5,000 feet, the bridge provides reliable networking solutions even in environments where traditional Ethernet reaches its limits.
This device conforms to standard desktop bridge designs and is targeted at small businesses or branch offices needing robust connectivity over longer distances. The Cisco 575 LRE bridge maximises the use of legacy cabling infrastructure by supporting a standard telephone-grade connection, eliminating the need for more costly fibre optic or Ethernet rewiring. The design of the unit makes it a versatile solution for connecting areas within buildings or between different structures such as office and storage facilities.
Key features include the ability to bridge between standard Ethernet and Long-Reach Ethernet (LRE) protocols, pairing flexibility with operational reliability. Additionally, the device can be configured as a desktop unit, making it suitable for office environments where space is at a premium. This desktop design allows easy deployment without requiring substantial physical setup or specialised rack mounts. The Cisco Long-Reach Ethernet 575 LRE enhances productivity by ensuring steady communication across longer distances, solving limitations faced by many existing setups.
Technology-wise, this unit forms part of Cisco's broader series of network solutions, providing users access to Cisco's market-leading support and compatibility with other Cisco networking products. It is an ideal choice for businesses looking to upgrade their internal networking capabilities without overhauling existing cable infrastructure.
