The electrical interface can be either RS-232 or RS-485.  The RS-485 electrical port can be multi-dropped.  Asynchronous data rates can be up to 38.4 Kbps. A special version (TC2200T) is available for extreme temperature applications (-40°C to 70°C). Each 850nm unit comes standard with two pair of fiber interfaces and either one RS-232 or RS-485 interface.  Units with second RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces are optional.  Standard 1300nm models have one fiber optic interface (second pair is optional) and one or two RS-232 or RS-485 interfaces. For applications requiring maximum reliability, the TC2200 is also available in a dual Master "Fault Tolerant" version, providing a Back-up Master unit.  In the event of cable breakage or a defective Remote unit, the backup Master will start polling the Remote units from the opposite direction.  The primary and secondary Master units can be located anywhere on the fiber bus network.  Remote units can be daisy-chained. The "Anti-Streaming" capability is standard.  Anti-streaming prevents a single node failure (e.g. "babbling") from bringing down the entire network.  Diagnostic LEDs are provided for "Tx," "Rx," "Fault" and "Power". The TC2200 is compatible with all popular types and sizes of fiber optic cable and is available multimode (850/1300nm) or single mode (1300/1550nm).  Fiber optic connectors are ST or FC.  Electrical connectors are DB25 female.  Power is 12VDC; optional 24VDC, -48VDC, or 115/230VAC with an external power cube. Fiber optic connectors are ST, FC is optional. Electrical connectors are DB25 female. Power is 9 to 12 VDC or 115/230 VAC with an external power cube. For ordering purposes, the TC2200 is the Master Unit; TC2201 is the Slave unit.  TC2200 Specifications Data Rates TC2200 DC to 38.4 Kbps (async) Optical Transmitter LED/ELED/Laser(option) Receiver PIN Wavelength 850nm/1300nm multimode   1300nm Single Mode Fiber Optic connectors ST (FC or SMA optional) Loss Budget 15dB multimode 850nm/1310nm @62.5um   15dB Single Mode 1310nm @9um Electrical Connector DB25 Female Type DCE System Bit error rate 1 in l09 or better Visual Indicators Tx, RX, Fault, Sync, Power Power Power source I2VDC @300ma 24/48 VDC Option optional: 115 or 230VAC with external power cube Temperature Operating: TC2200                   TC2200T -100C to 550C -200C to 700C Storage -400C to 900C Humidity 95% non-condensing Physical Micro Size Unit Height (2.80cm) 1.125"   Width (12.75cm) 5.0"   Depth (7.50cm) 2.50"   Weight (275gm) 10.0 oz Standard Size Unit Height (3.20cm) 1.25"   Width (15.00cm) 5.93"   Depth (13.00cm) 6.00"   Weight (450gm) 16.0 oz Typical Application (Application Questions) Renowned for its high reliability, the TC2200 Multi-Drop Modem is ideal for Bus or String communication links in SCADA, Traffic Control, Industrial Process Control and security networks.  It is frequently used to interconnect Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) or Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs) in Utility substation SCADA Networks.
