Features

The TC8116 Serial Data Fiber Optic Multiplexer is an inexpensive method to connect asynchronous & synchronous terminals, printers, & status collecting devices.

The TC8116 fiber optic multiplexer multiplexes RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 (2 or 4 wire), TTL & Dry Contact Closure interfaces. It is available in 8 or 16 channel versions, each with or without Control/Handshaking.

  • Mix or Match Field-Interchangeable Interfaces: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, TTL, & Dry Contact Relays
  • Data Rates up to 38.4 Kbps*
  • Built-In Power Redundancy
  • Optional Optical Redundancy
  • Local Dry Contact Relay Alarm
  • Built-In Test Signal Generator
  • Local & Remote Loopback
  • Multimode or Single Mode (850/1300/1550nm)
  • Hardened Temperature Version (optional)

Applications

The TC8116 Fiber Optic Multiplexer provides a flexible, inexpensive method for connecting async/sync terminals, printers, and status collecting devices. It is also used in harsh environments where EMI/RFI interference, ground loops and lightning conditions may exist.
