3. Description
Featuring distances up to 80km, the TC3705 10/100Base-T Ethernet Fiber Optic Switch provides a 100Base-
FX port that combines Ethernet Switching and Fiber Optic technology to boost total network bandwidth.
The TC3705 offers one multimode (1300nm) or single mode (1300/1550nm) optical port and four Ethernet
10/100Base-T Auto-Sensing/Auto-Negotiation switched ports. Each of these ports supports either 10Base-
T or 100Base-TX. There are two optional versions (Model TC3705T) for extreme temperature applications
(-20C to 70C, -40C to 80C).
Because it functions like an Ethernet bridge (connects multiple Ethernet segments to prevent unnecessary
network traffic), it creates an efficient sub-divided switched LAN that provides full and transparent
bandwidth for each segment.
The TC3705's modern switching technology eliminates the congestion problem inherent to the contention-
oriented Ethernet CSMA/CD protocol. This improves predictable response times under heavy network
loads. Previously, expensive routing technology was used to alleviate congestion from heavy traffic
loads.Power is 12VDC, optional 24VDC, -48VDC, 125VDC, or 115/230VAC with an external power cube.
Units are standalone or 19" rack mountable. Optical connectors can be SC, ST or FC.

    Rev. 1.2 8. Typical Application Diagram The TC3705 10/100Mbps Ethernet Switch is a low cost and flexible solution to extend a local area network to a remote site through fiber optic cables. Providing bandwidth solution to efficiently handle the traffic between the local and the remote workgroups of the network and reducing the need of expensive routers that usually cater to the network backbone.
  • Page 6 Rev. 1.2 9. Hub Topology Diagram You can use the TC3705's for a variety of network configurations. For example, connect up to four hubs or switches to develop workgroups with dedicated 10/100Mbps links. Connect your routers, printers, servers, and other network devices.
  • Page 7 A. The TC3705's input voltage is 12V DC and current is 600mA. B . The TC3705's power connectors are two terminal blocks located on the rear panel of the unit. Polarity is indicated on each connector block (see Figure 2).
  • Page 8: Physical Characteristics

    Dry Contact Alarm Condition: When the front panel LINK/ACT LED is lit and/or blinking, the TC3705 is working well and thus it is not in Alarm Condition. Otherwise, if the LINK/ACT LED is "Off" the TC3705 will be in Alarm Condition and the Dry Contact Relay will be activated.
