TC3240
3-Port Switching/Bridging 10/100 Ethernet Media Converter w/ Rate Control

Featuring management, remote firmware upgrades, security, long distance capability and rate control, the TC3240 10/100M 4-port Switching/Bridging Fiber Optic Ethernet Media Converter converts or connects 10/100Base-TX (UTP) networks to 100Base-FX (Fiber Optic) networks.

The TC3240 includes a built-in switch that enables distances up to 100km without additional hardware (e.g. Switch or Router). Security features include allowing up to four different IP address aliases, manageable privilege levels for users and password protection. VLAN is also implemented for secure access.

Rate Control gives users the ability to control or limit bandwidth in 32kbps increments. Other options include "one fiber, bi-directional” to maximize fiber usage and an extreme temperature (-40°C to 80°C) version. Auto-Negotiation and automatic full/half duplex are standard.

Applications

The TC3240 is frequently used by Data Service Providers to control the bandwidth they offer to customers. It is also used for its ability to transmit over long distances (100km or farther) without connecting to additional hardware, e.g. a Switch or Repeater. The Hardened Temperature option enables it to be used in extreme environments.
