Features

The TC8520 Ethernet, Phone & Data multiplexer optimizes fiber optic cable usage by multiplexing one 10/100M Ethernet, 4 Telephone and, optionally, 4 channels of serial data over single mode or multimode fiber. A “bi-directional 1-fiber” option doubles existing fiber optic cable usage.

Notice: Product End of Life
(02/28/2022) for new applications use TC1901, TC8000, or TC3846-6 depending on application requirements.

It converts 2-wire FXS to fiber optics on the telephone side with ring down capability and FXO on the PBX side. Serial data interface options are RS-232, RS-422, TTL and Dry Contact. It also supports 2/4-wire analog (600ohm).

  • Multiplexes 10/100 Ethernet, 2-Wire Analog POTS or 2/4-Wire 600 Ohm Analog and Optional RS-232, RS-422, TTL, Dry Contact
  • Network Management (Web, Telnet)
  • One Fiber Bi-Directional Communication Optic Option
  • Multimode or Single Mode(1300/1550nm)
  • Power Redundancy, Optical Redundancy Optional
  • 12VDC, Optional 24VDC, -48VDC, or 115/230VAC
  • Industrial Hardened (optional)
  • Hi-Temp2 Version Exceeds NEMA & Caltrans Traffic Control Specs

Applications

Notice: Product End of Life
(02/28/2022) for new applications use TC1901, TC8000, or TC3846-6 depending on application requirements.

Typical applications include extending SDH/SONET backbones and adding Telephone Voice or 2/4-Wire 600 Ohm Analog, Ethernet and Serial service to existing fiber optic links. Service Providers use the TC8520 as an efficient, cost effective method to provide their customers with Telephone Voice, Ethernet and Serial connections. The one fiber bi-directional communication, option can double usage of existing fiber optic cable plants.
