used. The Magnum 8000X PM network connector types, shown left-to-right in Figure
2.3a below, are “PM-RJ45U” for RJ-45s (10BASE-T or 100BASE-TX, UTP and STP)
with an up-link switch, “FPM-MTRJ” for fiber MT-RJ (small form factor 100BASE-FX
multi-mode), “FPM-MSC” for 100Mb fiber SC (100BASE-FX multi-mode) and same-
in-appearance “FPM-SSC” for 100Mb fiber SC (100BASE-FX single-mode), “FPM-
MST” for 100Mb FX fiber ST m.m., “FPM-MV45” for fiber VF-45 (small form factor
100BASE-FX multi-mode), the “FPM-SXMST” for 100BASE-SX (short-wavelength

“PM-FP” for the face plate to cover blank slots. PM-RJ-45 (not shown) looks like PM-
RJ45U but without the up-link switch. For additional details and descriptions of each
Port Module, see Section 5 of this manual.
PMs for other fiber port types (for example, 10 Mbps FC-type) are possible as
specials. If you need a different port type from those shown, contact GCI
Magnum PMs are normally installed in the front of Magnum 8000Xs at the
factory prior to shipment, but may be installed or changed or removed in the field by a
careful technician. The PM removal / addition procedures are described in Section
5.2.1.- 5.2.7.
2.5 Switch Port Modules (SPMs)
Magnum Switch Port Modules (SPMs) provide a compact switching port that
filters and forwards packets, thus separating internal and external collision domains and
enhancing the performance and configurability of the network. Unless specified at the
time of order, each Magnum 8000X is shipped from the factory with no bonus port
SPM installed. For application flexibility, any of the Magnum SPMs may be specified
