Magnum 6K16-Series Managed Fiber Switch Installation and User Guide (04/06)

(9/125 microns for single-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns for multi-mode where xx/xx are the diameters of the core and the core plus the cladding respectively). Single-mode fiber allows full bandwidth at longer distances, and may be used to connect 10 Mb nodes up to 10 Km apart, or 18Km with the 6K-SSC.

The same procedures as for multi-mode fiber, applies to single-mode fiber connectors. Follow the steps listed in Section 3.2.2 above.

3.2.4Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, CAT3, CAT5, Unshielded or Shielded)

The RJ-45 ports of the Magnum 6K16-Series can be connected to the following two media types: 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T. CAT 5 cables should be used when making 100BASE-TX connections. When the ports are used as 10BASE-T ports, CAT 3 may be used. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328 ft).

NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for both 10 Mb

and 100Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a mixed-speed network, since dual-speed ports are auto-sensing for either 10 and 100Mb/s.

The following procedure describes how to connect a 10BASE-T or 100BASE- TX twisted pair segment to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted pair cables.

1.Using standard twisted pair media, insert either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port. Note that, even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded cables and wiring may be used.

2.Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device

3.Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established

3.2.5Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT5E or better, Unshielded or Shielded)

The RJ-45 Gigabit ports of the Magnum 6K16-Series can be connected to the media types, 1000BASE-T or CAT 5E or better 100-ohm UTP or shielded twisted pair (STP) balanced cable. The CAT 5E or better 100-ohm UTP or shielded twisted pair

(STP) balanced cable is recommended to use when making 1000BASE-TX connections. In either case, the max distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100 meters (328 ft).
