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:

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.
