Example 3: Future-proofing, industrial environments: In heavy industrial plants (such as steel mills, electrical generating stations, telecom central offices, hospitals, etc.), fiber LAN cables are usually used for noise immunity and electrical ground- isolation. In this kind of environment where computer systems are used to monitor and / or manage operations, an Ethernet fiber link is used to collect real-time data via SNMP agents in the equipment. The SNMP management fiber network almost always operates at 10 Mbps. Network management workstations and network servers use 100Mbps ports to the high performance nodes.

Magnum 8000X offers a full range of fiber port modules (both 10Mb and 100Mb), 10/100 RJ-45, and stackability for the ultimate in “future-proofing”, even noisy specialty environments

10BASE-FL Fiber Segment

The Magnum 8000X Dual-Speed Fiber Hub is ideal in these situations. The fiber ports are economical and may be a mix of 10 and 100Mbps, and may be any quantity or mix of standard port connector types. Individual 10/100 RJ-45 ports may be configured also, and an optional SPM can segment local users from the rest of the network. Stacking provides capacity for up to 48 ports, and the 8000X can be stacked with a DS8016-A for a mix of RJ-45 and fiber ports. The flexibility results in a “future-proof” fiber hub. The illustration below shows this type of installation.
