1. 1. 1. 1. 1. Description Description
Description Description Description
The TC3005 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. The
TC3005 is available in multiple configurations depending on your communication requirements. When both
sides have the same wavelength, the TC3005 works like an optical signal repeater.

A. The TC3005 consumes very low power. The connector is a terminal block with polarity indicated on the
rear panel of the unit (see Figure 2). The input voltage is typically 12 VDC and current is @600mA. The
unit can be ordered with optional power options: 24 VDC@300mA, 48 VDC@150mA, or 115/230 VAC
with an external power adapter.
B . Should an external power adapter need to be replaced, use one that matches the above specifications.
You may order it from TC Communications.
C. There are two pairs of terminal block connectors on the rear panel (labeled "PWR A" and "PWR B").
Only one pair is required to power the unit. If both pairs are connected, the built-in power redundancy
feature will be utilized. When this feature is utilized, both "A" and "B" share the load. If one power source
fails, the other will assume the full load.
