Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide 05/07)

6K32TRC modules. The fiber ports support fiber cabling distances according to the 10BASE-FL standard, i.e., 2km distance for multi-mode fiber. (Single-mode for up to 10Km distance may be available as a special order configuration).

2.2.6Gigabit (1000Mbps) port modules

The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC & 6K32’s offer wide options for Gigabit

speed with multiple choices for the modular slot. The new Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC can be configured with four Gigabit ports (copper or Fiber) maximum. The Gigabit port option for the modular slot comes in a couple of different configurations. The two Gigabit port modules have been offered as GBPM-2OTX (fiber or RJ-45), whereas the single Gigabit module comes in flavors of G+4(10/100 RJ-45 ports) or G+2 (100Mb fiber ports) as shown below in the figure.

The 6K32T & 6K32TRC modules provide a GBIC opening for insertion of industry- standard GBICs to provide Gigabit (Gb) media flexibility. GBIC models are available for both multi-mode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25, 40, 70)km fiber options, and for Gigabit copper as well with new models appearing often.

The 1000Mb Gigabit fiber-port modules on the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC are normally set (factory default) to operate at AUTO mode for best fiber distance and performance. The 1000Mbps SC fiber-optic module on the Gigabit -SX and Gigabit-LX transceivers are compatible with the IEEE 802.3z Gigabit standards.

There are two LEDs mounted on each Gigabit port module. The Gigabit fiber port is by default configured to AUTO mode, and can be fixed at 1000Mbps speed full- duplex mode at any time. The Gigabit fiber port has LEDs that indicate LK (Link status) and ACT (receiving activity) on that port when lit.
