The AT-MC606 VDSL Network Extender is designed to be used in pairs to 
extend Ethernet traffic over existing coaxial cables in a building. One 
AT-MC606 is configured as the subscriber unit and the second unit is 
configured as the provider unit. You must manually configure these units 
as a subscriber or provider unit when installed.

If you plan to install multiple AT-MC606s in a rack or on a desktop, the 
AT-MCR12 chassis can accommodate up to 12 units. The DC power for 
all of the AT-MC606s is provided by an internal power supply within 
the AT-MCR12 chassis.

The AT-MC606’s can be used is in multi-dwelling units (MDU), multi-
tenant buildings (MTU) or in the hospitality industry, such as airports, 
hotels, and convention centers. For example, Figure 5 illustrates a point-
to-point topology for an MDU building where internet services are 
delivered to each room using VDSL via the building’s coaxial cable wiring.

An AT-MC606 Subscriber unit is installed in each guest room while the 
corresponding AT-MC606 Provider units are located in the building’s 
central equipment room and are individually assigned to each office. 
The Provider units are rack mounted together in AT-MCR12 chassis and 
their Ethernet ports are connected via an Ethernet LAN to the building’s 
internet service. Both Subscriber and Provider units are configured
