Product Description, Port Modules
An important feature of the Magnum 3000 Stackable Hubs is the use of
individual Port Modules (PMs) for flexible mixed-media connectivity. The Magnum

Each PM provides one port for connecting one Ethernet segment with its individual
connector type and media. There are a total of six Repeater Port Module (RPM) cards,
plus a face plate. They are:
RPM-BNC, RPM-AUI, RPM-DTE RPM-FST (or FSC), RPM-SMF, RPM-TP
There are also four different Bridge Port Module (BPM) cards. They are:
