2.3Features and Benefits

!Reduces Network Costs

Magnum 14E Media Converters offer an ideal solution to quickly and inexpensively connect Twisted-Pair TX with Fiber FX cabling.

!Full-duplex or Half-duplex transparent, auto-negotiation support Magnum 14E’s support both full-duplex and half-duplex mode transparently, and are suited for use with 100Mb Ethernet switches supporting (or not supporting) auto-negotiation.

!Low PDV for Maximum Cable Lengths in Shared Segments

Magnum 14E Media Converters add signal timing delays of only 20 Bit Times in a shared half-duplex segment, much less than a Class II (90 to 95 BT ), and can be used to attach fiber cables to TX ports with low distance loss in an overall HDX collision domain.
