5.2.1

FPM-MST, 100Mbps multi-mode FX-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector

The Magnum FPM-MST is a

multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic module

equipped with a dual ST-type connector. It

functions as a fiber optics transceiver to

support 100BASE-FX network segments.

When installed in an 8000X half-duplex

hub, it supports fiber optic cable distances

only up the IEEE-specified 100Mbps

shared-collision-domain distance limits,

i.e., typically 200 meters.

The module is equipped with an Activity (A) LED, and a Link (L) LED

which indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit. Lettering on the

front of the module identifies it as “100 FX” to avoid confusion with other similar-

looking FPMs.

5.2.1a

FPM10-MST, 10 Mbps multi-mode FL-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector

The Magnum FPM10-MST is a multi-mode 10 Mbps fiber optic module

equipped with a dual ST-type connector. It looks similar to the 100Mb FPM-MST, but

has the lettering “10 Mb” on the front to distinguish it.

5.2.2

FPM-MSC 100Mbps multi-mode FX-SC-type, “snap-in” connector

The Magnum FPM-MSC is also

a multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic

transceiver module, similar to the FPM-

MST. It has the same LEDs indicating port

activity (A), and Link (L) operational, and

the same face-plate lettering.

While the functionality of the

these two modules is the same, the FPM-

MSC is equipped with an SC-type "snap-

in" connector instead of an ST-type.
