3. Description
Featuring an “Industrial-Hardened” version for extreme environments, the TC3301 Gigabit Ethernet Fiber
Optic Converter supports distances up to 100km and is available with a 2-way single fiber option.
The TC3301 is IEEE802.3z/AB complaint. It converts or connects 1000Base-TX unshielded twisted-pair
devices (e.g. network bridges, switches, or workstation cards) to single mode (1300/1550nm) or multimode
(850nm) fiber optics.
Completely transparent to the network, the TC3301R/S is ideal for integrating UTP and fiber optics in any
Gigabit Ethernet network. It is designed with modern Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) technology
and operates efficiently even during high-demand traffic loads.
It is available in two temperature versions: 0°C to 50°C; -20°C to 70°C; The Industrial-Hardened version
exceeds all pertinent Utility and Traffic Control environmental and temperature specifications.
Diagnostics include 8 LEDs for Ethernet settings and Ethernet/Power status. Dry contact alarms are
provided for connection to remote network management systems. It is available standalone or rack mount.
The TC3301S is the standalone/wallmount unit. The TC3301R rackmount version fits into the Model
TCRM192 or 19" rackmount card cages.
Fiber optic connectors are ST, SC and FC. The UTP connector is RJ-45 female. Power is 12VDC @ 600mA
(standard); optional power sources include 24VDC, -48VDC, 125VDC, or 115/230VAC with an external
power cube.
2. Standards
IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T, IEEE 802.3z 1000Base-SX/LX and TIA/EIA-785
