Media Converters, including power supply requirements, up-link switch functionality,
and a description of all LEDs.

4.1

Power Requirements, Power Supply Types for TF14 vs. TB14

Magnum TF14 Media Converters are very power-efficient. They only require

about 2 watts of power and are designed to be used with a tiny external 9-volt power
supply.

This power supply is different from other power supplies used with any

other Magnum products, including even the companion TB14 unit.

Magnum TB14 Media Converters require 12v internal for the BNC port..

They typically use about 5 watts of power and are designed to be used with an external
12-volt power supply.

This power supply is the same as the power supplies used

with several other Magnum products, including 10Mb Magnum Personal Hubs
and the TF14 and TB14 models of 10Mb Magnum Media Converters.
