Magnum P62-Series Hardened Switches Installation and User Guide (08/03)

2.6Applications

The P62-Series is designed specifically for harsh temperature environments and brings

future-proof fiber and widely-used copper connectivity to out-of-the-way sites.

Example 1. Magnum P62F In this example, a Magnum P62F Hardened Switch performs roadside real time traffic data collection and transmits it to a remote control station over fiber. Since multiple traffic control sites are long distances apart, they are all connected in series to each other and to the central station. Some local users (using RJ-45 ports) may operate at 100Mbps, and some users and utility devices may run at 10 Mbps. A Magnum P62-Series Hardened Switch serves this requirement economically and efficiently. The six full- and half-duplex switched ports make the required setup simple for collection of traffic data. The uncontrolled “outdoor” temperature feature and high reliability of the P62F make it suited to the site.

The two 100Mbps full-duplex fiber ports easily fulfill the long distance connection and provide high bandwidth for fast movement of data. The advance design of sealed P62F takes care of it cooling method. The mechanical design of the Magnum P62F also enables it to be easily placed in a NEMA 4 enclosure to provide an all-weather outdoor solution.
