RS232 Fiber Optic Modem ("Pocket Rocket"; Async/Sync)

The TC1100 “Pocket Rocket” synchronous and asynchronous RS232 fiber optic modem is intended for campus network applications up to distances of approximately 5 km multimode and 30 km single mode.

Because of its versatility and small size, the TC1100 is ideal for connecting a variety of async or synch devices to a host computer. Typical applications include linking remote terminals or printers to host computers, tail circuits to existing multiplexers and extending data communications links.

Featuring switch-selectable internal clock rates, it supports asynchronous data rates up to 64 Kbps and external synchronous data transmission up to 128 Kbps, including all popular internal clock rates. An extreme temperature version (-20°C to 70°C) is available for harsh environments where EMI or RFI interference, ground loops and lightning are prevalent.

Features
  • Data Rates up to 115 Kbps
  • Selectable Internal Clock or Slave Clock
  • DCE Only
  • Hardened Temperature Version (-20°C to 70°C) (optional)
  • Multimode or Single Mode (850/1300/1550nm)
  • Five Troubleshooting LEDs
  • Sturdy Compact Metal Case
