Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch | Installation and User Guide (04/07) |
2.2Product Description - Magnum 6K8-Series (6K8)
The Magnum 6K8-Series, Industrial Field Switch is the smallest member of
the Managed 6K-Switch family. It is equipped with one module slot configurable to 8- ports. It is specially designed to meet
industrial, power substation, and outdoor Ethernet specifications while fulfilling the needs of hardened applications. 6K8-Series managed field switches provide modularity of fiber and copper ports. They come with a combination of 10Mb, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed ports with comprehensive management software
in a compact industrial-grade package. The combination of multiple possible configurations, multiple power options, a hardened enclosure, and MNS-6K management software makes the Magnum 6K8 a very powerful, effective and reliable managed Field Switch providing a secure solution for many needs.
Setting a new standard for Industrial and Carrier Class applications, heavy duty Ethernet Switch requirements are readily accommodated with an extended temperature rating of -40˚C to 60˚C calculated by the UL Component Parts method, or -50˚C to 95˚C by the IEC 60068 calculated by the Type Test method. With various Power Supply options, such as all popular DC power input types, worldwide AC power and DIN-Rail mounting; the hardened Magnum 6K8-Series is a “multi-purpose” Industrial Ethernet Switch.
The extremely versatile options of various port modules offer all fiber media possibilities including small form factor (all connector types, multi- and single-mode) and 10/100 MB auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports. Standard GBIC ports can be configured for a variety of Gigabit cabling types and distances.
