Installation and User Guide (05/08)

The single fiber port on the CSG14 is multi-mode with an SC connector or small form-factor connector (LC single-mode).

The external DC power plug connector and/or “jack” and the internal DC input terminal is provided on the rear of the unit.

2.3 Frame Buffering and Latency

The Magnum CSG14 Series Converter Switches are store-and-forward switches. Each frame (or packet) is loaded into the Switch’s memory and inspected before forwarding can occur. This technique ensures that all forwarded frames are of a valid length and have the correct CRC, i.e. they are good packets. This eliminates propagation of bad packets, enabling all of the available bandwidth to be used for valid information.

While other switching technologies such as "cut-through" or "express" impose
