2.6 Applications
The P62-Series is designed specifically for harsh temperature environments and brings
future-proof fiber and widely-used copper connectivity to out-of-the-way sites.
Example 1. Magnum P62F In this example, a Magnum P62F Hardened Switch performs
roadside real time traffic data collection and transmits it to a remote control station over fiber.
Since multiple traffic control sites are long distances apart, they are all connected in series to each
other and to the central station. Some local users (using RJ-45 ports) may operate at 100Mbps,
and some users and utility devices may run at 10 Mbps. A Magnum P62-Series Hardened Switch
serves this requirement economically and efficiently. The six full- and half-duplex switched ports
make the required setup simple for collection of traffic data. The uncontrolled “outdoor”
temperature feature and high reliability of the P62F make it suited to the site.
The two 100Mbps full-duplex fiber ports easily fulfill the long distance connection and
provide high bandwidth for fast movement of data. The advance design of sealed P62F takes care
of it cooling method. The mechanical design of the Magnum P62F also enables it to be easily
placed in a NEMA 4 enclosure to provide an all-weather outdoor solution.

provides a Fast Ethernet fiber backbone for access to the central control station
