Featuring extremely low latency, the TC3846-6 Analog + Dry Contact IP Gateway links or extends 4 channels of 600Ω 2/4 wire analog and 4 channels of dry contacts across Layer 2/3 Ethernet networks. It is simple to configure and supports point-to-point and point-to-multipoint topologies.
The TC3846-6 supports frequencies from 300Hz to 3.4KH and achieves minimal end-to-end processing delay (latency) by using high performance buffering and forwarding technology. Two operation modes allow bandwidth savings for point-to-point applications. The TC3846-6 is capable of running continuous pilot tones without interruption or quality degradation. This is possible because the usage of proprietary technology that, unlike VoIP, uses a common clock for both ends.
VLAN and QoS for packet prioritization ensure reliable communications. Other key features include Traffic Monitoring and Statistics, Network Time Server (NTP Server), Remote Firmware Upgrade and Temperature and Power Consumption Monitoring. Diagnostics include LED indicators and local and remote loop back.
Setup, diagnostics, and management are accessed via Web, SNMP, Serial Console, and Telnet. An industrial hardened version
(-40°C to +80°C) complies with all pertinent industry and environmental standards including IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 & NEMA TS-2.
The TC3846-6 fits any JumboSwitch® chassis option including 2S Standalone chassis and 1U/2U/4U card cages. Power supply options are 12VDC, 24VDC, -48VDC, 125VDC (available on 1U/2U/4U card cages only) or 115/230VAC.
Typical applications include linking or extending various 600Ω analog, audio and intercom devices, (e.g. Frequency Shift Keying [FSK] modems), E&M, teleprotection relay controllers, and dry contacts over Layer 2/3 IP networks.
It is also used to improve voice quality and increase system reliability in harsh environments, to replace unreliable leased phone circuits and to stabilize voice level settings for 600Ω audio channels.
