Description

Featuring Bandwidth Control, the Model TC3220 10/100M 2-port Switching/Bridging Fiber Optic Ethernet Media Converter converts or connects 10/100Base-TX (UTP) networks to 100Base-FX (Fiber Optic) networks.

Bandwidth Control gives users, especially data service providers, the ability to control or limit bandwidth. Data rates for Bandwidth Control can be set at none, 128K, 256K, 512K, 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M, 16M, 32M and 64M. It can be managed through any Web Browser, Telnet or Serial Console. Password protection is provided.

The TC3220 includes a built-in switch that enables distances up to 100km without additional hardware (e.g. Switch or Router). It provides 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation and automatically adapts to full or half-duplex mode. Transparent to the network, it operates effectively even during high-demand traffic loads.

Standard temperature range is -10°C to 50°C. The optional high temperature version provides a range of -20°C to 70°C. A hardened temperature version is also available and provides a range of -40°C to 80°C which exceeds NEMA and CALTRANs specifications.

The TC3220 supports single mode distances up to 100 km (1550nm laser) and works with all types and sizes of fiber optic cable. A two-way "one fiber" single mode version is available. Fiber optic connectors are ST, FC or SC. The UTP connector is RJ-45 Female.

Dry contact alarms are provided for connection to remote network management systems. A local loop-back feature, eight LED indicators and an Uplink/Downlink slide switch are provided on the front panel to assist with installation and troubleshooting.

Standard power is 12VDC and includes built-in redundancy. Optional power sources include 24VDC, -48VDC, 125VDC or 115/230VAC with an with an external power cube. The TC3220S is the standalone/wall-mount unit. The TC3220R rack-mount version fits into the TCRM192 or TCRM196 19" rack-mount card cages.
