Magnum Quad-Series Fiber Switches | Installation and User Guide (06/03) |
The small size of the VF-45, about the same as an RJ-45 port, reduces the size of wiring panels in wiring closets while providing the advantage of “future-proof” fiber optic technology.
The cable end is a “plug-in” connector, with both fiber strands terminated in one housing that cannot be improperly inserted. Each port has an Activity (ACT) LED indicating packets being received, a Link (LK) LED that indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit, and a FDX/HDX LED to indicate full-duplex mode when lit (or half-duplex when off).

unshielded twisted pair (UTP) and shielded twisted pair (STP) cable connections.
The QPM-RJ45 quad-port module is equipped with a Media Dependent Interface-Crossover (MDI-X) push-button to allow for one cascaded connection. This feature eliminates the need for a special twisted pair crossover cable when connecting to a hub or another switch.
With the push-button in the IN (X) position, the left-most RJ-45 port is used for cascaded and up-link connections (i.e.: a connection to another hub or switch typically). When used for segments going to workstations and other user node device connections, the MDI-X push-button should be in the OUT (=) position.
