The Magnum 8000X Fiber Hubs support all of the fiber port types (including the latest
models), adapting the fiber LAN to changing technology. The Dual- Speed feature
provides for growth in performance to higher bandwidth 100Mbps speed, and the per-
port modularity plus stacking provide for port expansion.
Example 3: Future-proofing, industrial environments: In heavy industrial plants
(such as steel mills, electrical generating stations, telecom central offices, hospitals,
etc.), fiber LAN cables are usually used for noise immunity and electrical ground-
isolation. In this kind of environment where computer systems are used to monitor and /
or manage operations, an Ethernet fiber link is used to collect real-time data via SNMP
agents in the equipment. The SNMP management fiber network almost always operates
at 10 Mbps. Network management workstations and network servers use 100Mbps
ports to the high performance nodes.
The Magnum 8000X Dual-Speed Fiber Hub is ideal in these situations. The
fiber ports are economical and may be a mix of 10 and 100Mbps, and may be any
quantity or mix of standard port connector types. Individual 10/100 RJ-45 ports may be
configured also, and an optional SPM can segment local users from the rest of the
network. Stacking provides capacity for up to 48 ports, and the 8000X can be stacked
with a DS8016-A for a mix of RJ-45 and fiber ports. The flexibility results in a
“future-proof” fiber hub. The illustration below shows this type of installation.
