Applications
The TC1710 High Speed Fiber
Optic Modem is intended for applications requiring high data rates and
handshaking.

Description
The TC1710 is the
ultimate "configure-it-as-you-need-it" fiber optic modem. Ideal for
applications requiring high data rates, it supports asynchronous data
rates up to 10Mbps and synchronous rates up to 5Mbps.
It supports most
popular electrical interfaces including RS-422, RS-485 (2-wire or
4-wire), RS-530, V.35 and TTL. Electrical interfaces are modular and
can be easily changed before or after installation.
Distances up to
80km* are possible depending on various factors including electrical
interface, optical transmitter, number of fiber optic connectors and
fiber type and quality. Power redundancy is standard. Optical
redundancy is optional.
Diagnostics are
extensive and include a built-in Test Signal Generator, local & remote
loopback tests and LEDs for Power, Alarm, Tx, Rx and all applicable
control signals. The Test Signal Generator verifies both device and
fiber optic link operation.
Available for
multimode (1300nm) or single mode (1300/1550nm), the TC1710 is
compatible with all popular sizes and types of fiber optic cable.
Fiber optic connectors are ST or FC. Electrical connectors are DB25
female. Power is 12VDC (standard), 24VDC, -48VDC, 125VDC or
115/230VAC with an external power cube.
The TC1710 is
available in two versions: TC1710R Rackmount Card for installation in
a 19" rack assembly (TCRM192 or TCRM196) or TC1710S Standalone
version. Standalone or rackmount versions can be mixed or matched on
either end. There are two optional versions (Model TC1710T) for
extreme temperature applications (-20° to 70°C
& -40° to 80°C).
