VDSL2 is the newest and most advanced standard of DSL broadband wireline communications.

ITU-T G.993.2 (VDSL2) is an enhancement to G.993.1 (VDSL) that permits the transmission of asymmetric and symmetric (Full-Duplex) aggregate data rates up to 200 Mbit/s on twisted pairs using a bandwidth up to 30 MHz. It has been suggested that VDSL2 be merged into this article or section. ...


VDSL2 deteriorates quickly from a theoretical maximum of 250 Mbit/s at 'source' to 100 Mbit/s at 0.5 km (1640 ft) and 50 Mbit/s at 1 km (3280 ft), but degrades at a much slower rate from there, and still outperforms VDSL. Starting from 1.6 km (1 mile) its performance is equal to ADSL2+. It has been suggested that VDSL2 be merged into this article or section. ... TU G.992. ...


ADSL-like long reach performance is one of the key advantages of VDSL2. LR-VDSL2 enabled systems are capable of supporting speeds of around 1-4 Mbit/s (downstream) over distances of 4 to 5 km (2 ½ to 3 miles), gradually increasing the bit rate up to symmetric 100 Mbit/s as loop-length shortens. This means that VDSL2-based systems, unlike VDSL1 systems, are not limited to short local loops or MTU/MDUs only, but can also be used for medium range applications. In telecommunications, the local loop is the wiring between the central office (telephone exchange in British English) and the customers premises demarcation point. ...

Profiles

VDSL2 is quite a complex protocol. The standard defines a wide range of profiles that can be used in different VDSL deployment architectures; in the central office, in the cabinet or in the building for example.

Profil Bandwidth (MHz) Number of carriers Carrier bandwidth (kHz) Power (dBm) Max. Throughput (Mbit/s, symmetric)

8b 8,832 2048 4,3125 +20,5 50
