Magnum 6KQE Managed Edge Switch Installation and User Guide | 02/09 |
5.1.7 | 6KQE4-1MLC, 1 x LC / 3 x RJ45 (Slot C) | |
The 6KQE4-1MLC 4-port Fiber / Copper module provides one 100Mb Multimode LC Fiber port and three 10/100Mb switched RJ-45 ports.
The 6KQE4-1MLC fiber port is a Small Form Factor (SFF) LC Multimode connector used primarily in 100Mbps fiber-to-the-desktop links. When installed in a Magnum 6KQE Series Switch, it supports fiber optic cable distances up to the IEEE- standard 100Mbps distance limits, i.e., typically 2km at full-duplex and 412m at half- duplex.
The compact size of the LC Connector reduces the size of wiring panels in wiring closets while providing the advantage of “future-proof” fiber optic technology.
The cable end is a “plug-in” connector with both fiber strands terminated in one housing that cannot be improperly inserted. Each port has an Activity (ACT) LED indicating packets being received and a Link (LK) LED indicating proper connectivity with the remote device when lit.
The 6KQE4-1MLC copper ports support Ethernet twisted pair segments of any standard length. It is equipped with a three-port RJ-45 connector, and offers 10/100 full / half-duplex auto-negotiating capability on each port. The RJ-45 connector is shielded to minimize emissions and will allow both unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and shielded twisted pair (STP) cable connections. When installed in a Magnum 6KQE Series Managed Switch, the copper ports support the standard distance of 100m on each port.
