6KPMV Module Description
An important feature of the Magnum 6K8-Series is the use of Port Modules for
flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since the Magnum
6K8-Series Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 2, 4, 6 or
8-port interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10
or 100 or 1000Mps speed. Each 6K8-Series PM provides a wide selection of
connecting Ethernet media segments with all similar or combo connector type.
Note: The 6K8V Port modules are exactly similar in the functions, size and price,
compared to 6K8- but addressed as e.g. 6KP8V-RJ45. For a correct list of
6K8 Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2
Each 6K8-Series PM is individually described in the following sections.
NOTE: The 10/100 RJ-45 ports on all the modules, either all
RJ-45 ports or used for COMBO module are featured with
Auto-negotiation and Auto-Cross (MDIX).
