Magnum 8000X Mixed-Media Fiber Hubs

Installation and User Guide (05/ 02)

 

 

 

When installed in a Magnum 8000X half-duplex hub, it supports fiber optic cable distances only up the 100Mbps shared-collision-domain distance limits, i.e., typically 200 meters.

The small size, about the same as an RJ-45, reduces the size of wiring panels in wiring closets while providing the advantage of “future-proof” fiber optic technology.

The cable port is a “plug-in” connector, with both fiber strands terminated in one housing that cannot be improperly inserted. The module is equipped with a LINK

(L)LED to indicate proper connectivity with the remote device, and an ACTIVITY (A) LED that flashes to show when Fast Ethernet packets are being received.
