5.2.1 FPM-MST, 100Mbps multi-mode FX-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector
The Magnum FPM-MST is a
multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic module
equipped with a dual ST-type connector. It
functions as a fiber optics transceiver to
support 100BASE-FX network segments.
When installed in an 8000X half-duplex
hub, it supports fiber optic cable distances
only up the IEEE-specified 100Mbps
shared-collision-domain distance limits,
i.e., typically 200 meters.
The module is equipped with an Activity (A) LED, and a Link (L) LED
which indicates proper connectivity with the remote device when lit. Lettering on the
front of the module identifies it as “100 FX” to avoid confusion with other similar-
looking FPMs.
5.2.1a FPM10-MST, 10 Mbps multi-mode FL-ST-type, “twist-lock” connector
The Magnum FPM10-MST is a multi-mode 10 Mbps fiber optic module
equipped with a dual ST-type connector. It looks similar to the 100Mb FPM-MST, but
has the lettering “10 Mb” on the front to distinguish it.
5.2.2 FPM-MSC 100Mbps multi-mode FX-SC-type, “snap-in” connector
The Magnum FPM-MSC is also
a multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic
transceiver module, similar to the FPM-
MST. It has the same LEDs indicating port
activity (A), and Link (L) operational, and
the same face-plate lettering.
While the functionality of the
these two modules is the same, the FPM-
MSC is equipped with an SC-type "snap-
in" connector instead of an ST-type.
