Description
Intended for Video Conferencing
applications, the TC1230 Fiber Optic Modem transmits RS-366 dial-up
information between Codecs and CSU/DSUs, Hubs and other Network Devices at
the demarcation point.
The TC1230 supports asynchronous
data rates up to 56Kbps and plugs directly into the RS-366 interface on the
Codec and Network Device. It supports all 11 standard RS-366 control
signals (typically 5 in, 6 out), including handshaking.
Typical campus network distances
are approximately 5 km multimode and 80 km single mode. Distances can vary
depending on the size and type of fiber optic cable, number of connections
and type of connectivity devices.
The TC1230 works over all
popular sizes and types of multimode (850/1300nm) or single mode
(1300/1550nm) fiber optic cable. Fiber optic connectors are ST or FC.
Electrical connectors are DB25 female.
Diagnostics include six status
LEDs to indicate that the modem is operating correctly. Power is 12VDC;
optional 24VDC or 115/230VAC with an external power cube. An extreme
temperature version (-20° to 70°C), Model TC1230T, is also available.

Questions)
The TC1230 is
typically used to transmit dial-up information from a remote Codec to a CSU/DSU
at the demarcation point over single mode or multimode fiber optic cable.
In addition to distance flexibility, it provides immunity from EMI/RFI
interference, ground loops and lightning strikes.
