5.2.3b FPM10-SST, 10Mbps single-mode FL-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector

The Magnum FPM10-SST is a single-mode 10 Mbps fiber optic module equipped with

adual ST-type connector. To distinguish the single-mode FPM10-SST from the multi- mode FPM10-MST, the label “Sgl. M.” is at the top of the faceplate of the FPM10-SST.

5.2.4FPM-MTRJ, 100Mb multi-mode FX, MTRJ small-form-factor connector

Magnum FPM-MTRJ is a multi-mode fiber optic module equipped with a

 

small-form-factor MTRJ-type connector. It looks almost like an RJ-45 port, but it is

 

black in color. The MT-RJ’s small size and

5.2.5 FPM-MV45, 100Mbps multi-mode FX, VF-45small-form-factor

connector

Magnum FPM-MV45 is a multi-mode fiber FX “small-form-factor” VF-45 connector used primarily in 100Mbps fiber-to-the-desktop links. Its size is similar to the MT-RJ port, but the VF-45 shell is slightly larger. When not in use, its appearance is distinctive because it has a tiny hinged door over the port hole to act as a dust cover.
