TC1230
RS366 Dial-Up Fiber Optic Modem (''Pocket Rocket'')

Unique and highly specialized, the TC1230 RS366 Fiber Optic Modem is designed specifically for Video Conferencing applications. It transmits RS-366 dial-up information between Codecs, CSU/DSUs, Hubs and other Network Devices at the demarcation point.

The TC1230 supports asynchronous data rates up to 56Kbps and plugs directly into the RS-366 interface on the Codec and Network Device. It supports all 11 standard RS-366 control signals (typically 5 in, 6 out), including handshaking.

Diagnostics include six status LEDs for monitoring and troubleshooting. It supports distances to approximately 5 km multimode and 80 km single mode. Distances can vary depending on the size and type of fiber optic cable, number of connections and type of connectivity devices. An extended temperature version (-20° to 70°C) is available for harsh environments.

Applications

The TC1230 is typically used to transmit dial-up information from a remote Codec to a CSU/DSU at the Telco demarcation point over single mode or multimode fiber optic cable. In addition to adding distance flexibility, it provides immunity from EMI/RFI interference, ground loops and lightning strikes.
