6KPM Module Description

An important feature of the Magnum 6K25 is the use of Port

Modules for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since

the Magnum 6K25 Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 6

or 8-port interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at

10 or 100Mps speed. Each 6K25 PM provides six or eight ports for connecting

Ethernet segments with its individual connector type and media.

For a list of 6K25 Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2

Each 6K25 PM is individually described in the following sections.

NOTE: The port #1 on the RJ-45 ports on all the modules, either all

RJ-45 ports or used for COMBO module is set as (=) other user ports.

6KP6-RJMST, 4@10/100Mbps RJ-45 and 2@100Mb multi-mode
FX-ST “twist lock” Combo Module

The Magnum 6KP6-RJMST is a combo 6 port module of RJ-45’s at

10/100Mbps and fiber optic ports at 100MB. The Combo module is equipped with dual-

mode ST-type connectors and

dual speed copper ports. The

ST-connector functions as a

fiber optic transceiver to

support 100BASE-FX network

segments. When installed in a

Magnum 6K25 Managed

Switch, the copper port

supports the standard distance

100m on each port and the fiber

port supports fiber optic cable distances up the IEEE-standard 100Mbps distance limits,

i.e., typically 2km at full-duplex and 412m at half-duplex.

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

FDX/HDX LED to indicate full-duplex mode when lit (or half-duplex when off). The
