ote: Be certain that the main power is disconnected before opening the unit or changing any ternal jumper settings

herefore, the default setting of half-duplex ( fiber ports) is generally desirable because it is

idely used and allows for the connection of various devices without re-configuration.(where the nnected device is half duplex and does not support full-duplex i.e., Hub and media-converters.) ote: For 10Mbps fiber ports, the user can set the jumpers either at full-duplex or half duplex on l the four ports. There is no individual port duplex options for 10 Mb port.

8 Powering the LE14XXA-Series Switch

The Black-Box LE14XXA-Series Switches incorporate an internal universal power pply, and has a recessed male IEC connector for the AC power cord at the left -rear. A manual ower ON-OFF switch is adjacent . A six-foot 115 VAC 60 Hz standard power cord is supplied ith each unit shipped within the United States and Canada.

AC power connector

The auto-ranging power supply supports installation environments where the AC ltage is from 90 to 260 volts with a power input frequency of between 47 and 63 Hz. The 8- rt units will consume just under 20 watts of power typically, and the 16-port units will nsume about 35 watts typically.

When connecting the Ethernet cabling, there is no need to power down the unit. dividual segments can be connected or disconnected without concern for AC power-related oblems or damage to the unit.

Power supply options are available to suit the LE14XXA-Series Switches to special gh-availability communications and/or heavy industrial-grade applications, including:

*-48VDC with single DC input,

*-48VDC with dual-source DC input,

*-48VDC with dual redundant internal power supply units and dual-source DC input,

*AC with dual redundant internal power supply units and dual-source AC input

LE14XXA, Modular Switches specifications

The Black Box LE14XXA series of modular switches are designed for high-performance networking in both small and medium enterprises, as well as in larger data center environments. These switches stand out due to their scalability, flexibility, and robust functionality, making them suitable for a variety of applications.

One of the main features of the LE14XXA modular switches is their modular design, allowing for the integration of various interface cards to tailor the switch to specific networking needs. This flexibility ensures that organizations can adapt their network architecture as requirements evolve, making it a future-proof investment. The switches support a range of modules, including Ethernet, fiber optics, and PoE (Power over Ethernet), which can be easily swapped out or added to support changing technology demands.

In terms of performance, the LE14XXA series offers impressive throughput capabilities, often supporting up to 10 Gbps per port. This speed is critical for businesses that rely on fast data transfer rates for tasks such as video conferencing, large file transfers, and real-time applications. The switches also feature advanced Layer 2 and Layer 3 functionalities, facilitating efficient data routing and switching, which is essential for maintaining effective network performance.

Security is another critical characteristic of the Black Box LE14XXA switches. They incorporate a variety of security protocols, including 802.1X port-based access control, VLAN support, and secure management interfaces, which help protect sensitive data and ensure compliance with industry standards.
