3.1Locating Magnum 6K8-Series Switches

For vertical panel mounting and wall mounting, see Section 3.4. For vertical DIN-Rail mounting, see Section 3.3.

For DC power options, see Appendix B. For Dual Source, see Appendix C.

For AC power input, locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters) of the intended Magnum 6K8-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K8- Series 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 convection while the unit is in operation. The 6K8-Series has no fans, so it is silent when in operation. Internal electronics use the case as a heat sink, so the unit may normally be quite warm to the touch.

3.2Connecting Ethernet Media

The Magnum 6K8-Series 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 that 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, 802.3D, 802.3u, 802.3AB and 802.3z standards and connector types are as follows:

IEEE Standard	Media Type	Max. Distance	Port Module
Fiber:	mm1T Fiber
1000BASE-FX		220m ( ft)	GBIC-SXSC
	sgl.m2 Fiber	5,10,25,70Km	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	6KP8V- SLC
Copper:
10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX twisted pair		100m (328 ft)	6K8-RJ45
1000BASE-TX			GBPM-RJ45

1 mm = multi-mode	2 sgl.m = single-mode
