.
All of the Magnum “14” Media Converters comply with the IEEE 802.3
10BASE-T specification for 10 Mb/sec traffic via shielded (STP) or unshielded twisted
pair (UTP) segments. They feature an up-link or cross-over switch to eliminate the need
for a special cross-over cable when connecting to a hub or concentrator.
Note: experience shows that the maximum number of 10Mb Media Converters
that can be used in series is three. The cumulative signal noise from 4 or more units
together in series may cause packet alignment errors.
Fiber models:
The Magnum TF14 (multi-mode ST), TF14s (single-mode ST), and
TF14-LP (Link Pass-through, ST) are equipped with one fiber-ST and one twisted pair
RJ-45 connector for use in IEEE FOIRL or 10BASE-FL compliant networks. The up-link
