Magnum 6K32 Managed Switch	Installation and User Guide (02/05)
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 6K32 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.

3.3.1Rack-mounting (for 19” RETMA racks), regular Magnum 6K32s

Installation of a Magnum 6K32 Fiber Switch in a 19” rack is a simple

procedure. The units are 1U (1.70”) high. When properly installed, the front-mounted LED status indicators should be in plain view and easy to read.

Rack-mount installation requires

brackets attach to the front sides

of the Switch (regular package,

i.e., not the Reverse version),

which is then typically fastened into a standard 19” RETMA rack as shown here.

The 23” brackets and the ETSI (European metric, approx. 21”) brackets are also available (optional) for rack-mounting of Magnum 6K32 Switches. These brackets are popular in the Telco industry where they are a standard for Central Office rack- mounting purposes. The 23” and the ETSI brackets are mainly used for larger equipment
