Description                                        

The TC3105R/S 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. It is available in rackmount or standalone versions.  The TC3105R rackmount version fits into TCRM192 or TCRM196 19" rackmount card cages. The TC3105S is the standalone/wallmount unit.

Specifically designed for long distances, the TC3105R/S 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 ten LED indicators to aid installation and troubleshooting procedures:

"PWR A" - DC Power Supply Indicator, Power A
"PWR B" - DC Power Supply Indicator, Power B
"VCC" - VCC Voltage Indicator
"PODIS" - Polarity Status Indicator
"LTF"  - Link Test Fine (UTP Signal) Indicator
"OP" - Optic Reception Indicator
"TP"  - UTP (Ethernet) Activity Indicator
"LMON" - Optical Link Monitor

The TC3105R/S works with all popular sizes of single mode and multimode fiber optic cable. Fiber optic connectors are ST, FC, or SC. Power is 12VDC or 115/230VAC with an external power cube. An extreme temperature version (-20° to 70°C), Model TC3105T, is also available.
