 Description

The TC3004 "MAXI" Multimode-to-Single Mode Fiber Optic Converter converts multimode formats to single mode formats, or vice versa, for data transmission up to 622 Mbps.  Transmission distances to more than 100km are possible with the Laser 1550nm option (34dB loss budget).

The MAXI will convert or repeat all popular wavelengths including 850nm, 1300nm or 1550nm over single mode or multimode fiber optic cable.  It is compatible with most communication technologies including Ethernet, Token Ring, TAXI, OC1/OC3, ATM, FDDI and SONET.

The MAXI provides users with several key features including , Dry Contact Relay Alarm, Audible Alarm Buzzer, Power Redundancy, and standalone or rack mount modularity.

The Dry Contact Alarm Relay, which includes an audible alarm buzzer, identifies Optical Signal Loss on either the multimode or single mode ends.

Power redundancy is load sharing and switches over automatically in the event of a failure.  Power can be either 12VDC (standard), 24VDC, -48VDC, or 115/230VAC with an external power cube.  Standalone versions are modular, i.e. used either in a standalone chassis or in a Rack Mount chassis.  Standard connectors are ST or FC type.

Four DIP switches and eight LED indicators are provided to help installation and troubleshooting.  An extreme temperature version (-20° to 70°C), Model TC3005T, is also available.
