Features

The TC8530 Ethernet & Data Fiber Optic Multiplexer combines Ethernet & Serial Data over a single mode and multimode fiber optic network TC8530. It multiplexes one 10/100M Ethernet and four channels of RS-232, RS-422, TTL or Dry Contact interfaces over single mode and multimode fiber. A "bi-directional 1-fiber" option doubles existing fiber optic cable usage.

Notice: Product End of Life
(12/28/2023) for new applications use TC8116, or TC3847-3 depending on application requirements.

The TC8530 is typically used for extending SDH/SONET backbones and adding Ethernet and Serial service to existing fiber optic links. Service Providers use the TC8530 as an efficient and cost-effective method to provide their customers with Ethernet and Serial connections. The one fiber bi-directional optic option can double usage of existing fiber optic cable plants.

  • Multiplexes 10/100 Ethernet, RS-232, RS-422, TTL, Dry Contact
  • Network Management (Web, Telnet)
  • One Fiber Bi-Directional Optic Communication Option
  • Multimode or Single Mode (1300/1550nm)
  • Power Redundancy, Optical Redundancy Optional
  • 12VDC, Optional 24VDC, -48VDC, 125VDC or 115/230VAC
  • Hi-Temp2 Version Exceeds NEMA & Caltrans Traffic Control Specs
