New Self-Healing Ring Ethernet Switch Features Fast Recovery, Industrial-Hardened

TC3720 19" Rackmount Unit

IRVINE, CA-----Featuring recovery times of less than 250 milliseconds, the new Self-Healing Ring Ethernet Fiber Optic Switch from TC Communications provides fully redundant communications for Ring Topology networks. If a fiber or device failure occurs, the data path automatically “Self Heals” to the secondary path to maintain link integrity.

The TC3720 Ethernet Switch offers an Industrial-Hardened option (-40^oC to 80^oC) and supports distances up to 100km. It provides six independent Ethernet 10/100M Auto-Sensing UTP ports and two fiber optic 100Base-FX ports. It is IEEE 802.3, 802.3u, 802.3x compliant, available multimode or single mode (1300/1550nm) and supports full or half-duplex operation.

A Web-based configuration user interface is provided to view and change network settings such as IP Address, Subnet, Gateway, Speed, Half/Full Duplex, Name, Password and other parameters. It also monitors the fiber ring status, alarm conditions, and fault locations for local and remote units. It can also be configured through an out-of-band serial console.

The TC3720 is available in three temperature versions. The “Industrial-Hardened” version supports ranges from -40^oC to 80^oC and exceeds all pertinent Utility and Traffic Control environmental and temperature specifications. The standard version supports temperature ranges from -10^oC to 50^oC; the “Hi-Temp” version supports ranges from -20^oC to 70^oC.
