Magnum™ 6KQ Managed Field Switches provide maximum
configurability in their class. The fiber-rich 6KQ can be configured with
up to 12 100Mb fiber ports and two Gigabit ports. For 10/100 copper,
regular or PoE-equipped 10/100 RJ-45 or 10/100/1000 copper ports may
be configured to a maximum or 12 at 10/100 and 2 Gig ports. Magnum
6KQ comes with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks software
featuring GUI ease of use, Secure Web Management, SNMPv2,v3 man-
agement, 802.1p QoS Prioritization, Tag-based VLANs, IGMP Snooping
and IGMP-L2 multicast management, port security, RADIUS and TACACS+
support, and a choice of redundancy options including RSTP and
GarrettCom’s rapid-ring-recovery S-Ring and RS-Ring products. See the
Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) datasheet for more information.
Magnum 6KQs are ideal for building a switched, hardened Ethernet
network infrastructure, connecting edge devices such as PLCs and IEDs
with upstream switches or routers. Designed for use in industrial applica-
tions such as factory floors and control cabinets, industrial video surveil-
lance systems with PoE, power utility substations, tariffed carrier field
facilities, or transportation and oil and gas, the rugged Magnum 6KQ
handles stressful workloads (mixes of bursty data traffic and priority
streaming traffic) as well as harsh environmental conditions.
Advanced patent pending thermal design techniques use the 6KQ’s
metal case as a heat sink. The unique ribbed-surface aluminum case of-
fers maximum heat dissipation without fans to keep internal components
cool and reliable. This sealed-case design enables the unit to operate in
the harshest industrial grade environments and achieves high EMI noise
immunity. Available with Conformal Coating options and rated IP53 for
dust and water resistance, the 6KQ Field Switches are designed to meet
Class 1, Division. 2 certification requirements for hazardous environments
such as those found in oil and gas facilities.
The 6KQ is highly configurable with multiple fiber and copper
options. Four 10/100 RJ-45 ports (either regular or PoE) are standard in
the base unit. Gigabit ports may be 10/100/1000 auto-negotiating cop-
per or compact SFPs.
The 6KQ can be configured with the user’s choice of DC power
supplies: 24V for factory floor, 48V for tariffed carrier field facilities and
for PoE-powered applications such as video surveillance, and 125V for
power utility substations. External AC power supplies are optional.
Like all Magnum products, the 6KQ Field Switch has all appropri-
ate agency approvals and compliance certifications, including: third-party
UL testing for safety and temperature rating, NEBS L3 compliance, IEC
61850 & IEEE 1613 for power utilities, and NEMA TS-2 for use outdoors.
