supplies qualify this managed 6KQE switch for use in non-temperature controlled

 

networks and many other temperature sensitive critical Industrial applications where above normal room temperatures occur while the network is in operation. Full-duplex future proof fiber media can easily connect long distance subnets and provide a stable secure network to all applications. The SNMP management capability of the Magnum 6KQE Switch helps create a database of all the network subnets to easily manage the network.

Example 2: A managed network is needed to provide a redundant ring topology for maximum redundancy. In a network where any faulty cable, cable disconnection or power failure can bring the whole thing down, a ring switch can be reconfigured and up and running in milliseconds. The ring topology of the network consists of high speed LAN segments supported by 100Mbps full-duplex future-proof fiber media to provide a secure long distance LAN connection. The entire network is sharing a higher bandwidth Gigabit-enabled data-mining server for the vital database located in a separate secured building. The copper ports are required for multiple subnets inside the power plant to check the status of other Ethernet units. The entire spread network will be manageable to provide easy, detectable, uninterrupted support through a viewable SNMP monitor.
