The Magnum 14E, with full-duplex operation as a standard feature, can be used in
these applications. When installing the Magnum 14E in a full-duplex segment, it is important
to consider the combined overall segment length of both of the attached media types. The
overall segment length is calculated by adding together the segment lengths on both sides of the
Magnum 14E Media Converters. The figure below illustrates how a Magnum Media Converter
is used to connect a multi-mode fiber (100BASE-FX) with a twisted pair (100BASE-T)
segment.
Segment length on each side of the 14E Media Converter is measured as a percentage
of the maximum allowable standard media distance for the given media type. The percentages,
when added together, must not exceed 100%.
