Magnum14E Media Converters

Installation and User Guide (10/02)

2.4Applications

The primary function of a Magnum 14E Media Converter is to permit two different media types to coexist within the same network by allowing data to be transmitted / received between different media types. Magnum 14E media converters provides an effective solution for a network environment where auto-negotiation is a primary concern for the attached devices. They also support 100Mb half duplex or full duplex mode, transparent. Because of its auto- negotiation feature, the Magnum 14E supports an attached “N-way” auto-negotiating RJ-45 switch or hub port, allowing it to operate at its highest performance level, i.e., full-duplex 100Mb/s.

Magnum 14Es are typically used where new 10/100Mb switches or switching hubs with auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports are being installed, and where full-duplex fiber segments (of up to 2Km for multi-mode or 25Km to 40Km for single mode) are needed
