    Rev. 1.8 Description The TC3006 gives users the ability to convert Multimode fiber optic signals to Single Mode format for data transmission (and vice-versa). These conversions can benefit users by extending transmission distances and/ or enabling dissimilar fiber optic devices to be used with different fiber types. The optic receiver detects the incoming optical signal and regenerates it for transmission through the second optic transmitter.

    Inc. Equipment Location The TC3006 should be located in an area that provides adequate light, work space, and ventilation. Avoid locating it next to any equipment that may produce electrical interference or strong magnetic fields, such as elevator shafts or heavy duty power supplies. As with any electronic equipment, keep the unit from excessive moisture, heat, vibration, and freezing temperatures.

    -3dBm. If the user's equipment's launch power is higher than -3dBm (i.e. -2dBm or greater) and the fiber run is very short and has low signal loss, it is likely to overdrive the TC3006's Multimode receiver. The consequences of overdrive can be high error rates or the device's failure to recognize the incoming optic signal at all.
