TC8530
Data & Ethernet Multiplexer (4-12 Ch.)

The Model TC8530 Ethernet and Serial Data multiplexer multiplexes one 10/100M Ethernet and four channels of RS-232, RS-422, TTL or Dry Contact interfaces over single mode or multimode fiber. A "bi-directional 1-fiber" option doubles existing fiber optic cable usage.

The TC8530 is an efficient way to combine Ethernet and Serial Data devices, such as Remote Terminal Units and Programmable Logic Controllers, over a single fiber optic network. Service providers also use the TC8530 as a cost effective way to provide their customers with Ethernet and Serial connections. Ethernet rate control in 32Kbps increments is optional.

It supports distances to more than 100 km and offers redundant power and optics, including automatic switchover features for maximum reliability. It is available "Industrial Hardened" (-40° to 80°) for extreme environments.

Packaging Options


Applications

Typical applications include extending SDH/SONET backbones and adding Ethernet and Serial service to existing fiber optic links. Service Providers use the TC8530 as an efficient, cost effective method to provide their customers with Ethernet and Serial connections. The one fiber bi-directional optic option can double usage of existing fiber optic cable plants.
