Magnum 6K25 Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)

Switches are typically rack mounted in a wiring closet see Section 3.3.2 below), but because they have rubber feet they can also be installed on a shelf or table top unit. The compact size allows it to be easily placed in an office or lab area, and it can also be either shelf of wall-mounted (see Section 3.3.1 below).

Locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum 6K25 site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K25 will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting. Maintain an open view of the front to visually

monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can occur from the small fan on the

left side, while the unit is in operation. See figure below.

3.2Connecting Ethernet Media

The Magnum 6K25 Switches are specifically designed to support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit. This is accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which can be individually selected and configured per-port. See Section 2.4 for a description of the PMs.

The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE

802.3 and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows:
IEEE Standard	Media Type	Max. Distance	Port Module
Fiber:	mm1 Fiber
100BASE-FX		220m ( ft) GBIC-SXSC
	sgl.m2 Fiber	5Km	GBIC-LXSC
100BASE-FX	mm1 Fiber	2.0km (6,562 ft)	6K6-MSC, -MST
	sgl.m2 Fiber	18.0km (95K ft)	SSC, SSCL
small form factor	mm1 Fiber	2.0km (6,562 ft)	6K8-MTRJ, -MLC
small form factor	sgl.m1 Fiber	15 km	6KP8- SLC

Copper:
10BASE-T and 100BASE-TX twisted pair	100m (328 ft)	6K8-RJ45
1 mm = multi-mode	2 sgl.m = single-mode
