Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC Managed Switch

Installation and User Guide 05/07)

The GBIC transceiver has been offered in the modular slot with multiple options as per the user requirement. The two Giga port has been offered as GBPM-2OTX (fiber or RJ- 45), whereas the single Gigabit module comes in flavor of G+2 (100Mb fiber ports) or G+4(10/100 RJ-45 ports) as shown in the above figure.

The GBIC transceiver is fastened using snap-in clips. Insert the transceiver (take care to insert it the right way up, arrows on top) until it clicks in space. While removing the transceiver, press the clips on either side of the transceiver at the same time and pull the transceiver out.

Each port has an Activity (ACT) LED indicating packets being received and a Link (LK) LED indicating proper connectivity with the remote device when lit.

5.2.12a GBPM-2OTX (Two Gigabit option)

The Magnum 6K16-Series offered a wide selection of Gigabit speed with multiple choice of copper or Fiber or mix for the modular slot via GBPM-2OTX (2 x Giga module). While up to two Gigabit modules (maxm.) can be configured in the modular slot for GBPM-2OTX. The Dual Gigabit port option for the modular slot

provide a wide option of choice for various Gigabit transceivers covering a long range of distance. The GBPM-2OTX also meets the requirement for those applications where a managed Gigabit media converter is required. The two Gigabit slot can be filled with copper/Fiber or mix as per the application.

The 6K16-Series Modules provide a GBIC opening for insertion of industry- standard GBICs to provide Gigabit (Gb) transceivers media flexibility. GBIC models are available for both multi-mode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25, 40, 70) km fiber options, and Gigabit copper as well, with new models appearing often.
