Magnum TF14 and TB14 10Mb Media Converters are designed for quick and
easy installation even in very tight spaces. Media cables are easily attached to the
corresponding Media Converter. Because of their compact size, Magnum Media
Converters can be Velcro®-mounted on an office wall or the side of a desk or cabinet. A
rack-mount tray that neatly holds the units and associated power supplies is available.
The standard “1-per-unit” external power supply plugs into a nearby AC wall
socket or power strip. Each converter features a full set of LEDs that convey essential
diagnostic and status information. See Section 4.1, for LED function specifications.
Magnum Media Converters are designed to provide low-temperature operation
over an extended period to make them some of the most reliable in the industry. Their
high-strength fabricated steel packaging shields against Radio Frequency Interference
(RFI) and Electromagnetic Interference (EMI).
Magnum TF14 and TB14 10Mb Media Converters are specifically designed to
convert data signaling to allow transmission between two different Ethernet cabling
types, allowing migration to a new media type while preserving segments of the pre-
existing wiring structure. In addition, the TF14 allows fiber segments to be used with
new RJ-45 Ethernet hubs and switches that have insufficient (or none at all) fiber ports.
