10Base-T Ethernet Fiber Optic Converter DC power option

The TCComm TC3105 UTP-to-Fiber Optic Converter is frequently used to link Ethernet switches or workstations. Typical applications include extending Full Duplex LAN segments up to 80km or connecting two Ethernet segments via fiber optic cable.

Description

The TC3105 UTP-to-Fiber Optic Converter replaces or extends 10Base-T segments with multimode (850/1300nm) or single mode (1300/1550nm) fiber optic cable. It is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3 10Base-T and 10Base-FL standards. Specifically designed for long distances, the TC3105 can extend LAN segments up to 80km, depending on fiber size, quality, wavelength and connectors. The standard optical loss budget is 15dB*. Features include automatic UTP Polarity Correction, a slide switch for UTP uplinks or downlinks and six LED indicators to aid installation and troubleshooting procedures:

"PWR"	-	DC Power Supply Indicator
"PODIS"	-	Polarity Status
"LTF"	-	Link Test Fine
"OP"	-	Optic Reception Indicator
"TP"	-	UTP Reception Indicator
"LMON"	-	Optic Link Monitor

The TC3105 works with all popular sizes of single mode and multimode fiber optic cable. Fiber optic connectors are ST or FC. Power is 12VDC or 115/230VAC with an external power cube. It is available in wallmount or standalone versions and is packaged in a compact (3 /4" x 41 /8" x 21 /2") sheet metal case. The rackmount version is Model TC3105R. An extreme temperature version (-20° to 70°C), Model TC3105T, is also available.
