Description

The TC3212 is a single channel 10/100Base-T (copper media) to 100Base-FX Fiber Optical (fiber media)
Ethernet media converter that converts or connects 10/100Base-TX twisted-pair devices to single or
multimode fiber optics (100Base-FX).
Designated for flexibility and interoperability, the TC3212 includes a built-in switch that enables it to extend
LAN segments up to distances of 80km* without additional hardware (e.g. Switch or Router).
A one-fiber, bi directional communication option is also available to maximize fiber optic cable usage. Eight
diagnostic status LEDs are provided for system monitoring.
The TC3212 combines Ethernet switching with the benefits of fiber optic technology to boost network
bandwidth, increase security and maximize immunity from electro-magnetic Interference (EMI) and ground
loops.
The TC3212 works with all popular sizes of single mode and multimode fiber optic cable. Standard fiber optic
connectors are SC (ST and FC, optional). The TC3212 is the standard pocket rocket unit. The electrical
connector is an RJ-45 Female connector. Standard input power is 12VDC@400mA, (24VDC, -48VDC, and
115/240VAC with an external power cube are optional). The standard operating temperature is -10°C to
50°C.
