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.

  • Page 4: Optic Cable Types

    TC3301 User's Manual Rev. 1.4 5. Optic Cable Types Conventionally, fiber optic cable with yellow-colored insulation is used for Single Mode applications; gray or orange-colored insulated cable is for Multimode use. If Multimode cable is used in a Single Mode application, the test results could be erroneous and confusing.

  • Page 5: Power Requirements

    8. Power Requirements A. Standard input power to the TC3301's is 12VDC @600mA. B. The TC3301's power connectors are two terminal blocks located on the rear panel of the unit. Polarity is indicated under each connector block (see Figure 2).

  • Page 6: Installation

    B. The "PWRA," and/or "PWRB," "1000M," "Vcc," LEDs should be lit. C. Use CAT 5E or 6 UTP cable to connect the TC3301 RJ-45 port to the 1000Base-T Port of your network device. The "FDX," and "LNK," LEDs will be lit. If the LEDs are "Off," please verify the cable connection and the power of the network device.
