Description
Featuring
distances up to 80km*, the TC3212 10/100Base-T Ethernet Fiber Optic
Converter provides a 100Base-FX port that combines Ethernet Switching with
the benefits of fiber optic technology to boost network bandwidth, security
and immunity from electro-magnetic Interference (EMI) and ground loops.
The TC3212 comes standard with one fiber port and one Ethernet copper
auto-sensing switching port. The Ethernet port supports 10/100Base-T.
Specifically designed for long distances, the TC3212 can extend LAN segments
up to 80km*. A one-fiber, bi-directional communication option is also
available to maximize fiber optic cable usage. Seven diagnostic status LEDs
are provided:
Power:
“PWR”.......... DC Power Supply Indicator
“VCC”........... VCC Voltage Indicator
Fiber:
“Link/Act”...... Link and Activities Indicator
“SDET”......... Signal Detect
Copper:
“Lnk/Act”...... Link and Activities Indicator
“Speed”........ Indicate Speed 10M or 100M
“Duplex”....... Indicate full duplex or half duplex
The TC3212 works with all popular sizes of single mode and multimode fiber
optic cable. Fiber optic connectors are ST, FC or SC. Electrical connector
is RJ-45 Female. Power is 12VDC, 24VDC, -48VDC or 115/230VAC with an
external power cube. The standard operating temperature is
0°C to 70°C.
