Magnum 6K25 Managed Fiber Switch | Installation and User Guide (04/06) |
NOTE: for Power Substations: In support of the IEEE 1613 Class 2 standard, GCI advises that, for substation applications, the RJ-45 ports are intended for connectivity to other communication equipment such as routers or telecommunication multiplexers installed in close proximity (i.e., less than 2 meters or 6.5ft) to the 6K25. It is not recommended to use these ports in substation applications to interface to field devices across distances which could produce kigh (greater than 2500V ) levels of ground potential rise (GPR) during line-to-ground fault conditions. The 6K25 passes the 1613specifications for zero packet loss with fiber ports & with RJ45 ports used as indicated here.
3.2.5Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT5E or better, Unshielded or Shielded) The RJ-45 Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6K25 can be connected to the media
types, 1000BASE-T or CAT 5E or better 100-ohm UTP or shielded twisted pair (STP) balanced cable. The CAT 5E or better 100-ohm UTP or shielded twisted pair (STP) balanced cable is recommended to use when making 1000BASE-TX connections. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328 ft). See Section 4.3 for manual Up-Link switch on port 1 of copper port modules.
Media | IEEE Standard | Connector |
Twisted Pair (CAT 5E) | 1000BASE-T | RJ-45 |
NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5E cables (which work for both 100 Mb and 1000Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a mixed-speed network.
The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000BASE-T twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables.
1.1000Base-T connections require that all four pairs or wires be connected. Insert either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port. Note that, even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded cables and wiring may be used.
2.Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device
3.Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established
3.3Table-Top or Shelf Mounting
The Magnum 6K25 Manageable Switches can be easily mounted on a table-top
or any suitable horizontal surface, and has four rubber feet to provide stability without scratching finished
surfaces.
