Applications
Typical
applications include extending SDH/SONET backbones and adding Ethernet
service to existing T1 or E1 fiber optic links. Service Providers use
the TC8516 as an efficient, cost effective method to provide their
customers with Ethernet (full 100 Mbps bandwidth) connections for data
and T1 for voice. The two-way “one fiber,” option can double usage of
existing fiber optic cable plants.

Description
The TC8516 Ethernet & T1/E1 Fiber
Multiplexer multiplexes 8 or 16 T1 or E1 channels
and
one 10/100 Ethernet channel over multimode and
single mode fibers.
The TC8516 supports distances to more than 100 km and offers a
two-way, "one fiber" communication option to maximize fiber cable
usage. Standard redundant power and optics include automatic
switchover for maximum reliability.
Setup, diagnostics and control is accessed via Serial Console,
Telnet or SNMP management ports. Diagnostics include LED indicators,
dry contact alarms and local and remote loopback.
The Ethernet port supports non-blocking full 100Mbps bandwidth. It
is IEEE 802.3/802.3u/802.3x compliant. Each T1 or E1 channel is
independent, transparent to the framing format and supports all
applicable standards and line codes.
The TC8516 is available in 1U high “Rack Mount.” Fiber optic
connectors are SC. Standard power is 110/230VAC, 24VDC or -48VDC
with hot swappable redundant power supply slot.
