2.2Product Description - Magnum 6K25e Managed Fiber Switch

The Magnum Managed Fiber Switch boosts the performance of large Ethernet

LANs, typically serving as a “backbone” switch. It has the flexibility to handle a mix of both fiber and twisted-pair switched ports along with Gigabit backbone port options.
