Global and U.S. Gigabit Ethernet Extenders Market Report, Published by QY Research.

A financial services company in New York faced persistent network dropouts and reduced data throughput in several branch offices located in older buildings. These sites relied on legacy copper runs far exceeding the 100-meter limit of standard Ethernet, and replacing the cabling was not feasible due to building restrictions and high renovation costs. As bandwidth-intensive applications like VoIP, security video streams, and cloud trading platforms grew, the outdated network backbone caused latency spikes, packet loss, and poor QoS during peak trading hours.

To resolve the issue, the IT team deployed Gigabit Ethernet Extenders, advanced long-reach networking devices that transmit full-rate Ethernet at distances up to 1-2+ km using existing copper pairs or coax lines. These extenders use technologies such as VDSL2, G.fast, LR-PHY modulation, and built-in signal conditioning to preserve gigabit speeds over non-Ethernet wiring. Many models support PoE/PoE+, auto-negotiation, surge protection, and managed VLAN/QoS for enterprise traffic control. After installation, the company restored full-bandwidth performance without opening any walls, improved internal data transfer speeds by 78%, stabilized VoIP quality, and reduced network-related downtime by 60%. Gigabit Ethernet extenders are now standard in enterprise retrofits, industrial automation lines, hotels, schools, and healthcare facilities where long copper runs must support modern gigabit applications.

Application: Used to extend gigabit backbone to remote CCTV, emergency phones, and control systems over pre-existing copper cables inside tunnels.

Installation Location

Mounted inside tunnel communication cabinets.
Connected to long-distance copper feeder lines.
Integrated with PoE+ injectors to power IP cameras and sensors.

Purpose

Reuses legacy copper to deliver full gigabit bandwidth.
Reduces the need for costly fiber installation in tunnels.
Ensures stable, high-speed connectivity for critical safety systems.

Effect

Reduced upgrade costs by 46% compared to fiber rewiring.
Increased CCTV data throughput and video clarity by 31%.
Cut deployment time by 40% due to plug-and-play installation.

Alternative Devices

Fiber transceivers and media converters offer higher bandwidth but require new fiber runs that are often expensive or operationally disruptive.
Therefore, Gigabit Ethernet Extenders remain essential for long-distance gigabit connectivity where legacy copper infrastructure must be reused.
