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

The functionality of this 100BASE-FX multi-mode FPM is same as the ST and SC-types, and it is equipped with the same ACTIVITY (A) and LINK (L) LEDs to indicate proper connectivity with the remote device. It has the same “100Mb FX” lettering on the faceplate. Note that the other end of the fiber cable may have a different connector, not necessarily an MT-RJ type.

5.2.5FPM-MV45, 100Mbps multi-mode FX, VF-45small-form-factor connector

Magnum FPM-MV45 is a multi-mode fiber FX “small-form-factor” VF-45 connector used primarily in 100Mbps fiber-to-the-desktop links. Its size is similar to the MT-RJ port, but the VF-45 shell is slightly larger. When not in use, its appearance is distinctive because it has a tiny hinged door over the port hole to act as a dust cover.

“small-form-factor”

When installed in a Magnum 4K8 Full-duplex Switch, it supports fiber optic cable distances up to the 100Mbps Full-duplex non-collision-domain distance limits, i.e., typically 2000 meters.

The small size, about the same as an RJ-45, reduces the size of wiring panels in wiring closets while providing the advantage of “future-proof” fiber optic technology.
