Applications
Fiber optic transceivers are typically
used to extend distances to workstations, Hubs and Bridges. They are
also used to eliminate ground loop problems and EMI/RFI interference
in hostile environments.

Description
Economical and dependable, the TC3100 Fiber
Optic Ethernet Transceiver allows users to attach a wide variety of LAN
devices to any Ethernet or IEEE 802.3 network.
The TC3100 comes standard in 10Base-FL
Multimode or Single Mode versions and attaches directly to
workstations, bridges, repeaters and terminal servers via a DB15 male AUI
connector on the DTE side of the Network
Six LED indicators are provided; one each
for PWR (power), LMON (link monitor), RCV (receive data), XMT (transmit
data), JAB (anti-streaming), and CLSN (collision). An SQE TEST (Signal
Quality Error) enable/disable switch is provided on the front pannel.
The TC3100 is compatible with all popular
types and sizes of multimode (850/1300nm) or single mode (1300/1550nm)
fiber optic cable. Fiber Optic connectors are ST or FC.
Power is supplied via the 802.3 DTE device
or a built-in power jack from an external 12VDC power adapter. A
wall-mountable version is also available. An extreme temperature version
(0°C to 70°C), Model TC3100T, is also available.
