Applications

The TC8116 Fiber Optic Multiplexer provides a flexible, inexpensive method for connecting async/sync terminals, printers, and status collecting devices. It is often used in harsh environments where EMI/RFI interference, ground loops and lightning conditions may exist. The TC8116 can also be used to extend telephone lines to remote locations with the Model TC1900 RS-232 or Fiber Telephone Extenders.

Description

The TC8116 is an 8 or 16-channel fiber optic multiplexer with interchangeable interfaces and built-in power redundancy. Optical redundancy is optional. It supports data rates up to 56Kbps*. The TC8116 is available in four configurations:

8 Channel Async with No Control/Handshaking- 8 Channel Sync or Async with Control/Handshaking
16 Channel Async with No Control/Handshaking-6 Channel Sync or Async with Control/Handshaking

Standard interfaces include RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 (2 or 4 wire), TTL & Dry Contact Closure. Synchronous versions must be RS-232. Electrical interfaces are modular and interchangeable in 4-channel increments at any time--before or after installation. Because different interfaces can be mixed in 4-Channel increments, a wide variety of interface combinations are available.

Applications

The TC8300 is a remarkably flexible one-to-four channel T1/E1 Fiber Optic Multiplexer that is frequently used to link PBXs, Channel Banks, Customer Premise Equipment and M13 Muxes to DSX-1 Cross Connects.

Description

The TC8300 is a 1 to 4 channel T1/E1 Fiber Optic Multiplexer that offers several advanced features including extensive diagnostics, extra data channels, management software, power and optical redundancy, jitter removal and a replaceable Line Interface module. It is available both multimode and single mode and is compatible with all popular types and sizes of optic cable. The standard loss budget is 15dB, higher budgets are optional. Distances to more than 100km are possible with the single mode 1550nm option (34dB loss budget).

Diagnostics are extensive. Each channel offers six LED indicators to ease installation and troubleshooting - one each for RxD, Alarm, T1/E1 Signal Loss, BPV violations, Remote Loopback and Remote Signal Loss. Individual channels provide 4 DIP switches, accessible from the front panel, to control settings for line code, line length, local Loopback or remote Loopback. Dry contacts are also provided.

The extra out-of-band data channels are intended for multi-purpose communications. Up to eight RS-232 channels are available in addition to the T1/E1 channels. The out-of-band RS-232 channels can be used for telephone service with the Model TC1900 "Quick-Talk" Phone Extender.

Power redundancy is standard; optical redundancy is optional. Both provide automatic switchover in the event of failure. The TC8300 is transparent to the framing format and supports all applicable standards and line codes including CCITT G.703 and AMI/B8ZS/HDB3 Line Codes. Line distances from 0 to 655 feet (for connecting to DSX-1 cross connects) are supported. Jitter is eliminated because of a built-in elastic buffer and jitter attenuator.

TC8300S is the Standalone/Wallmount Unit. The TC8300R is the PC Card version that fits into TCRM191 or TCRM195 19" Rackmount Card Cages. Fiber optic connectors are ST or FC. Input power is 12VDC (standard); optional 24VDC, -48VDC, or 115/230VAC with a built-in or external power supply. Special four-position and two-position feed-thru detachable terminals are provided for connecting the T1/E1 twisted pairs. An extreme temperature version (-20ºC to 70ºC), Model TC8300T, is also available.

Applications

The TC8800 is typically used to link or extend data and telephone lines in campus networks. In many instances the TC8800 can replace expensive channel banks.

Description

The TC8800 is a 4-to-28 channel telephone and data fiber optic multiplexer that extends multiple telephone lines and data channels to remote sites such as other buildings in campus networks. The TC8800 Series consists of TC8800 (FXS), TC8801 (FXO), and TC8802 (Data). Users can mix or match telephone channels or RS-232, RS-422, TTL and Dry Contact Interfaces in increments of four up to a maximum of 28 channels. For example, a user could multiplex 20 telephone channels and 8 RS-232 data channels.

The TC8800 Series converts 2-wire FXS to fiber optics on the telephone side with ring down capability and FXO on the PBX side. Distances up to 80km are typical over single mode fiber, 4km over multimode fiber. Because the TC8800 digitizes the analog signals (PCM), voice quality does not degrade over extended distances.

It supports Telephone channels from 300Hz to 3.4Khz and asynchronous data rates to 19.2 Kbps. Twelve LEDs are available for status monitoring and diagnostics. A dry contact alarm is optional. Diagnostic LEDs for each channel include Tx, Rx, Hook and Ring.

The TC8800R PC Card version requires the TCRM191 or TCRM195 19" Rackmount Card Cage. Each TC8800R card can be removed or installed on the TCRM191 without powering down the system ("hot-swappable"). The TC8800S Standalone version currently supports up to 8 telephone or data channels. An extreme temperature version (-20°C to 70°C), TC8800T, is also available.

The TC8800 Series works with all types and sizes of multimode or single mode fiber optic cable at 850/1300/1550nm. Fiber optic connectors are ST or FC. RJ-11F ports are provided on the rear side to connect with telephones. Power redundancy is standard; optical redundancy is optional. Power is 12Vdc; 115/230VAC and 24VDC are optional.
