New High Speed Modem Supports Self-Healing Ring

IRVINE, CA ----The new TC2400 is a two-channel Multi-Drop Fiber Optic Modem specifically designed for self-healing ring fiber optic communications networks requiring high data rates.  Starting list price is $1,795.

The TC2400 is ideal for higher speed applications such as digitized video.  It also supports lower speed applications include linking Remote Terminal Units (RTUs) to a Host controller or CPU in SCADA, Traffic Control, Industrial Process Control and Security Networks.

The TC2400’s Self-Healing Ring capability is sophisticated and automatically re-routes any type of equipment or cable failure, upstream or downstream, to insure uninterrupted operation. "Anti-Streaming" capability is standard. 

The TC2400’s first channel supports data rates to 1 Mbps, the second channel to 256 Kbps.  RS-232 data rates are limited to 120K.  Electrical interfaces can be either RS-232 or RS-485.  The RS-485 electrical port can be multi-dropped.

Diagnostics are extensive and include 15 LEDs for monitoring Power, Data Transmission and Self-Healing Ring functions.  Standard temperature range is -10^oC to 50^oC.  A special version (TC2400T) is available for extreme temperature applications 
(-20^oC to 70^oC).
