TC8116: Multi-Interface Fiber Optic Data Multiplexer (8/16 ch.)

The remarkably small (2" X 4") TC1880 "Micro" RS 232 Fiber Optic Multiplexer is extremely useful for connectivity applications including linking or extending 4 or 8 asynchronous or synchronous terminals, printers and status collecting devices. It can also be used to extend up to eight telephone lines to remote locations with the Model TC1900 RS-232 Phone Extender.

  • Multiplexes Async/Sync Simultaneously
  • Data Rates up to 56 Kbps
  • Multimode or Single Mode (850/1300/1550nm)
  • Small Size (5/6" x 4" x 13/4")
  • Up to 8 Async Channels
  • Up to 4 Sync Channels (Ext. Clock)
  • Extend Up to 8 Telephones with TC1900 Quick-Talk Telephone Extender
  • Hardened Temperature

Applications
