Magnum P80F & P80C Personal Switches | Installation and User Guide (07/03) |
metal screws for each bracket and attaching to the Magnum P80F and P80C through the round hole of the bracket. A user-supplied screw attaches the bracket to the mounting surface. It is recommended to use appropriate # 4 screws for attaching mounting bracket to wall (e.g wood screw, self-tapping screw, machine screw). It is also recommended that the brackets be attached to two opposite corners of the unit. When properly attached, the brackets will extend slightly below the base of the unit to allow clearance for the rubber feet.
3.2Connecting Ethernet Media
The Magnum P80C Personal Switch can be connected to two media types i.e. 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T, however, P80F can be connected to the following three media types: 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T and 100BASE-FX. 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). For fiber port 100BASE-FX multi-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns cabling can be used, whereas for single-mode, 9/125 microns cabling should be used. Fiber cabling supports much longer cable distance and higher bandwidths as compared to copper wiring.
Media | IEEE Standard | Connector |
Twisted Pair (CAT 3 or 5) | 10BASE-T | RJ-45 |
Twisted Pair (CAT 5) | 100BASE-TX | RJ-45 |
Fiber (Multi-mode) | 100BASE-FX | ST |
Fiber (Multi-mode) | 100BASE-FX | SC |
Fiber (Single-mode) | 100BASE-FX | SC |
Fiber (Multi-mode) | 100BASE-FX | MTRJ |
NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5 cables (which work for both 10 Mbps and 100Mbps) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a mixed-speed network, since P80-series switch ports are auto-sensing for either 10 and 100Mbps. Note that the auto-sensing function does not sense the cable type.
3.2.1Connecting Twisted Pair (RJ-45, CAT 3 or CAT 5, Unshielded or Shielded)
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.
