Applications
Typical applications include linking
remote terminals or printers to host computers, tail circuits to
existing multiplexers and extending data communications links. Fiber
Optic Modems are also ideal for connecting data communications
devices in harsh manufacturing or outdoor environments where EMI or
RFI interference, ground loops and lightning are prevalent.
Description
Pocket Rocket modems are designed for
local and campus networks up to distances of approximately 5 km
multimode and 30 km single mode. Distances can vary depending on the
size and type of fiber optic cable, number of connections and type
of fiber optic connectivity device(s) used in a given network.
Because of its versatility, the
TC1100 is ideal for connecting a variety of either synchronous
(internal or external clock) or asynchronous communications devices
to a host computer. Featuring switch-selectable internal clock
rates, it is a medium speed, low cost synchronous RS-232 fiber optic
modem.
The TC1100 supports external
synchronous data transmission up to 128 Kbps and all popular
internal clock rates, including 2.4K, 4.8K, 9.6K, 19.2K, 38.4K, 64K
and 128K. It supports asynchronous data rates up to 64 Kbps. It is
available for both single mode (1300/1550nm) and multimode
(850/1300nm) formats. Fiber optic connectors are ST or FC.
Electrical connectors are DB25 female.
An extreme temperature version
(-20°C to 70°C), Model TC1100T, is also available.
