Magnum™ 6KQ Managed Field Switches provide maximum configurability in their class. The fiber-rich 6KQ can be configured with up to 12 100Mb fiber ports and two Gigabit ports. For 10/100 copper, regular or PoE-equipped 10/100 RJ-45 or 10/100/1000 copper ports may be configured to a maximum or 12 at 10/100 and 2 Gig ports. Magnum 6KQ comes with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks software featuring GUI ease of use, Secure Web Management, SNMPv2,v3 man- agement, 802.1p QoS Prioritization, Tag-based VLANs, IGMP Snooping and IGMP-L2 multicast management, port security, RADIUS and TACACS+ support, and a choice of redundancy options including RSTP and GarrettCom’s rapid-ring-recovery S-Ring and RS-Ring products. See the Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) datasheet for more information.
Magnum 6KQs are ideal for building a switched, hardened Ethernet network infrastructure, connecting edge devices such as PLCs and IEDs with upstream switches or routers. Designed for use in industrial applica- tions such as factory floors and control cabinets, industrial video surveil- lance systems with PoE, power utility substations, tariffed carrier field facilities, or transportation and oil and gas, the rugged Magnum 6KQ handles stressful workloads (mixes of bursty data traffic and priority streaming traffic) as well as harsh environmental conditions.
Advanced patent pending thermal design techniques use the 6KQ’s metal case as a heat sink. The unique ribbed-surface aluminum case of- fers maximum heat dissipation without fans to keep internal components cool and reliable. This sealed-case design enables the unit to operate in the harshest industrial grade environments and achieves high EMI noise immunity. Available with Conformal Coating options and rated IP53 for dust and water resistance, the 6KQ Field Switches are designed to meet Class 1, Division. 2 certification requirements for hazardous environments such as those found in oil and gas facilities.
The 6KQ is highly configurable with multiple fiber and copper options. Four 10/100 RJ-45 ports (either regular or PoE) are standard in the base unit. Gigabit ports may be 10/100/1000 auto-negotiating cop- per or compact SFPs.
The 6KQ can be configured with the user’s choice of DC power supplies: 24V for factory floor, 48V for tariffed carrier field facilities and for PoE-powered applications such as video surveillance, and 125V for power utility substations. External AC power supplies are optional.
Like all Magnum products, the 6KQ Field Switch has all appropri- ate agency approvals and compliance certifications, including: third-party UL testing for safety and temperature rating, NEBS L3 compliance, IEC 61850 & IEEE 1613 for power utilities, and NEMA TS-2 for use outdoors.
