Applications
Typical applications
include linking remote terminals or printers to host computers, tail
circuits to existing multiplexers and extending data communications
links. Fiber Optic Modems are also ideal for connecting data
communications devices in harsh manufacturing or outdoor environments
where EMI or RFI interference, ground loops and lightning are
prevalent.

Description
Pocket Rocket modems are
designed for local and campus networks up to distances of approximately 5km multimode and
80km single mode. Distances can vary depending on the
size and type of fiber optic cable, number of connections and type of
fiber optic connectivity device(s) used in a given network.
The TC1200 is a 3-channel
asynchronous RS-232 fiber optic modem that provides up to five
bi-directional control (or handshake) signals (RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR and CD).
It offers the versatility of linking three data communications devices
over a single duplex fiber or one device with a bi-directional control.
Compatible with both single
and multimode fiber, it supports data rates up to 120 Kbps. Six Diagnostic
indicators indicate power, electrical signal status and optic sync. It is
a DCE device only and performs Local & Remote loopbacks (for
diagnostics) with the flip of a switch. Because the TC1200 can also
function as a 3-channel multiplexer by using the control signal channels
as data channels, this benefit makes the TC1200 particularly cost
effective.
An
extreme temperature version (-20°C
to 70°C), Model TC1200T, is also available.
