Westermo DDW-002-B1 Industrial Ethernet Extender/Bridge

The Wolverine series consists of Ethernet extenders and bridges for propagating Ethernet traffic over existing cabling. The DDW002-B1 is based on power line communication (IEEE 1901) and is capable of bridging high bandwidth Ethernet traffic over 2-wire cables, even when there are oxidized connectors.

This can lead to considerable financial savings when refurbishing a train with Ethernet communication, as existing train couplers can be reused without the need for a costly rebuild or even replacement. By simply installing a DDW-002-B1 on each side of the coupler, a bridge connecting the Ethernet networks on each side is created. The fact that no configuration is needed further contributes to the ease of use.
