Rollover or Touch for Expanded View. Scroll to Zoom.

Features

The TC8116 Serial Data Fiber Optic Multiplexer is an inexpensive method to connect asynchronous & synchronous terminals, printers, & status collecting devices. It effectively multiplexes RS-232, RS-422, RS-485 (2 or 4 wire), and Dry Contact Closure interfaces and is available in 8 or 16 channel versions, each with or without Control/Handshaking.

The TC8116 provides a flexible, inexpensive solution for connecting async/sync terminals, printers, and status collecting devices. It is also used in harsh environments where EMI/RFI interference, ground loops and lightning conditions may exist.

  • Mix or match field-interchangeable interfaces: RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, & Dry Contact Relays
  • Data rates up to 38.4 Kbps*
  • Built-in power redundancy
  • Optional optical redundancy
  • Local dry contact relay alarm
  • Built-in test signal generator
  • Local & remote loopback
  • Multimode (850/1300nm) or single mode (850/1310/1550nm)
  • High and Extreme temperature versions (Optional)

Applications
