S14 & PS14P (PoE) Convenient Switches Installation and User Guide (01/06)

The Yellow label S14 shown above are for office and wiring closet environments and use an external AC power supply. A metal case with convection cooling is featured. Operation may be in 0° to 50°C ambient temperature. The units can be mounted securely on a closet wall or metal cabinet, or by using the metal panel mounting clips included.

The orange-label Magnum S14H as shown above in Fig 2.2c is a hardened unit designed for factory floor and other industrial applications. The S14H models are built with high-grade components and use special thermal techniques and a rugged metal case for extended temperature industrial applications. The S14H Hardened unit features a sealed metal case that is also used as a heat sink. No air inflow is required for cooling, so the S14H resists dust, dirt, moisture, smoke and insects, and is above-the-ceiling (plenum) rated. Choices of models for external AC or internal DC power are available.
