Overture Hatteras HN408-CP-1E High Speed Ethernet Modem EFM 8-Pair Copper 10/100

Overture Hatteras HN408-CP-1E — 8-Pair EFM Ethernet-over-Copper Modem

The Overture Hatteras HN408-CP-1E is an EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) copper access device that bonds up to eight copper pairs to deliver carrier-grade Ethernet with a 10/100 handoff and higher aggregate bandwidth than the 4-pair model. Backed by a 12-month Reboot IT warranty and professionally tested at our Melbourne facility.

Key Benefits

• Ethernet over copper (EFM): Delivers carrier-grade Ethernet across existing copper pairs using EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) bonding — extending Ethernet where fibre is not available.
• 8-pair bonding: Bonds up to 8 copper pairs for higher aggregate bandwidth and resilience over a single logical link.
• 10/100 Ethernet handoff: Presents a standard 10/100 Ethernet interface to customer equipment for straightforward integration.
• Customer-premises NTU: Designed as customer-premises equipment (CPE / NTU) for carrier and enterprise Ethernet-first-mile services.
• Managed carrier platform: Part of the Hatteras Networks HN400 series (Overture Networks) used by service providers for managed business Ethernet.
• 12-month Reboot IT warranty: Professionally inspected, tested, and graded in Melbourne — Australian warranty and support since 2001.

Performance in Use

EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) devices like the Hatteras HN400 series let carriers deliver reliable Ethernet services over the existing copper plant, without laying fibre to every premises. By bonding multiple copper pairs, the unit aggregates the capacity of each pair into a single Ethernet link, improving both throughput and resilience — if one pair degrades, the bonded group continues to carry traffic.

At the customer premises, the Overture Hatteras HN408-CP-1E terminates the copper service and presents a familiar 10/100 Ethernet handoff, so the customer router or switch connects exactly as it would to any Ethernet service. These units are typically deployed and provisioned by the service provider as part of a managed Ethernet-over-copper offering.

This is carrier / telco-grade access equipment rather than a home or small-office router — it is best suited to service providers, integrators, and enterprises maintaining an existing Hatteras/Overture EFM deployment or holding spares for one.

B — Good	Light wear, minor surface marks.	Powered on and ports verified.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an EFM copper modem?

EFM (Ethernet in the First Mile) equipment delivers Ethernet services over copper telephone pairs by bonding multiple pairs into one logical link. It is used by carriers to provide business Ethernet where fibre is not available.

Is this an NBN or home router?

No — this is carrier / telco customer-premises equipment (an NTU). It is not a home broadband router and does not provide Wi-Fi.

Can I use it without a service provider?

These units are normally provisioned and managed by the service provider as part of an Ethernet-over-copper service. They are typically bought as spares or for an existing managed deployment.

What interface does it present to my equipment?

A standard 10/100 Ethernet (RJ-45) handoff, so your router or switch connects as it would to any Ethernet service.

How does shipping work?
