module equipped with a dual SC-type connector. It functions as a full fiber optic
transceiver to support single-mode fiber networks.
To distinguish the single-mode FPM-SSC from the multi-mode FKM-MSC, the
label “Sgl. M.” is at the top of the faceplate of the FKM-SSC.
5.1.4 FKM-MTRJ, 100Mb multi-mode FX, MTRJ small-form-factor
connector
Magnum FKM-MTRJ is a
multi-mode fiber optic module equipped
with a small-form-factor MTRJ-type
connector. It looks almost like an RJ-45
port, but it is black plastic in color. The
MT-RJ’s small size and ease of
connection make it a good choice for 100Mbps Ethernet connectivity. When installed in
a Magnum 4K16 Full-duplex Switch, it supports fiber optic cable distances up to the
IEEE-specified switch distance limits, i.e., typically 2000 meters.
The functionality of this 100BASE-FX multi-mode FKM-MTRJ is the same as
the ST and SC-types. Note that the other end of the fiber cable may have a different
connector, not necessarily an MT-RJ type.
5.1.5 FKM-Blank
The FKM-Blank is a blank face
plate that must be installed in any empty
FKM slot. When the Magnum 4K16 chassis
contains less than two front-mounted FKMs,
the empty front slots must be covered with
the FKM-Blank face plate in order to maintain FKM-Blank
proper cooling air flow, and for safety, etc.

must be installed in
each empty PM slot.
