Magnum 4K8 Switches Installation and User Guide (10/04)

5.2.1FPM-MST, 100Mbps multi-mode FX-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector

The Magnum FPM-MST is a	100BASE-FX, -SX and 10BASE-FL
multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic	ST Connectors
module equipped with a dual ST-type	1
connector. It functions as a fiber optics	2
		A L
transceiver to support 100BASE-FX
network segments. When installed in a
Magnum 4K8 Full-duplex Switch, it
supports fiber optic cable distances up	1 ACTIVITY 2 LINK
to the IEEE-specified 100Mbps at full-

duplex non-collision-domain distance limits, i.e., typically 2000 meters.

The module is equipped with an Activity (A), and a Link (L) LED which indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit. Lettering on the front of the module identifies it as “100 FX” to avoid confusion with other similar-looking FPMs.

5.2.1a FPM10-MST, 10 Mbps multi-mode FL-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector

The Magnum FPM10-MST is a multi-mode 10 Mbps fiber optic module equipped with a dual ST-type connector. It looks similar to the 100Mb FPM-MST, but has the lettering “10 Mb” on the front to distinguish it.

5.2.2FPM-MSC 100Mbps multi-mode FX-SC-type, “snap-in” connector

The Magnum FPM-MSC is also a	100BASE-FX, -SX and 10BASE-FL
multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic transceiver		SC Connectors
module, similar to the FPM-MST. It has the	1			2
same LEDs indicating port activity (A), and
Link (L) operational, and the same face-plate		A L
lettering.
While the functionality of the these
two modules is the same, the FPM-MSC is	1	ACTIVITY	2	LINK
equipped with an SC-type "snap-in"
connector instead of an ST-type.
