5.2 6KPM Module Description
An important feature of the Magnum 6K32 is the use of one Port
Modules for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media in the
modular slot. Since the Magnum 6K32 Switches have dual-speed capability for
copper ports, the 6 or 8-port interfaces are designed to support all standard
Ethernet media types at 10 or 100Mps speed. Each 6K32 PM can provide two,
four, six or eight ports for connecting Ethernet segments with its individual
connector type and media.
For a list of 6K32 Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2
Each 6K PM is individually described in the following sections.
NOTE:
The port #1 on the RJ-45 ports on all the modules, either all
RJ-45 ports or used for COMBO module is set as (=) as other ports.
5.2.1 6KP6-RJMST, 4@10/100Mbps RJ-45 and 2@100Mb multi-mode
FX-ST “twist lock” Combo Module
The Magnum 6KP6-RJMST is a combo 6 port module of RJ-45’s at
10/100Mbps and fiber optic ports at 100MB. The Combo module is equipped with dual-
mode ST-type connectors and
dual speed copper ports. The
ST-connector functions as a
fiber optic transceiver to
support 100BASE-FX network
segments. When installed in a
Magnum 6K32 Managed
Switch, the copper port
supports the standard distance
100m on each port and the fiber
port supports fiber optic cable distances up the IEEE-standard 100Mbps distance limits,
i.e., typically 2km at full-duplex and 412m at half-duplex.
Each port has an Activity (ACT) LED indicating packets being received, a
Link (LK) LED that indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit, and
FDX/HDX LED to indicate full-duplex mode when lit (or half-duplex when off). The
