The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000BASE-T twisted pair segment

to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted

pair cables.

1. 1000Base-T connections require that all four pairs or wires be connected. Insert

either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port.
Note that, even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded
cables and wiring may be used.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device
3. Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be

illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established

DIN-Rail Mounting

The Magnum 6K16V is designed for use in

a “factory floor” industrial environment. It is available

with optional DIN-Rail brackets to mount it securely

in a metal factory floor enclosure, maintained

vertically for proper convection cooling of the unit.

The Magnum 6K16V requires two DIN-Rail

mounting clips or latches for secure mounting, and

these may be ordered as Model # DIN-RAIL-VRM.

See a 6K16V viewed from the rear, at right, with

model DIN-RAIL-VRM in place on the unit.

The Din Rail Latching clips are mounted on the upper rear
corners of the 6K16V unit. Two threaded holes are
provided on the sides of 6K16V for DIN-Rail mounting
purposes. See side view at the left, with the top of the unit
pointed to the right. The required two screws are included
with the DIN-Rail brackets, and are no.10-32 X 3/8 PHIL.
PAN w/star washer. The two heavy duty Din-Rail latches
are designed so that they can be manually accessed from
the top when the 6K16V is installed on a DIN Rail.

To install the 6K16V with the DIN-Rail brackets and latches attached to it, hold

the 6K16V in the vertical position with the bottom out, and with the top moved in toward

the DIN-Rail. Position the latches over the top of the DIN-Rail. Then, snap the latches
