performance plug-and-play operation in a rugged package. The high-strength steel enclosure
gives extra protection.
Each P62-Series Hardened Switch is non-blocking on all ports and has large packet
buffers and a 4K-node address table for advanced performance. A Magnum P62-Series Switch,
with store-and-forward switching ability, filters all faulty packets to minimize traffic congestion.
2.2.1 Magnum P62-Series chassis w/fiber SC (m.m. or s.m) connectors
Magnum P62F-5V Magnum P62F
The Magnum P62-Series chassis houses one main PC board. The front side of the
chassis has a half dozen RJ-45 twisted-pair ports and two 100Mbps full-duplex fiber ports
(one on each side of the RJ-45 ports) as shown in the adjacent picture. The fiber ports operate
in full-duplex mode only to provide higher bandwidth and longer distances on fiber. All the
LEDs are mounted on the top cover to conveniently indicate operating status of all ports.
There is a power on (PWR) indicator and a SELF TEST (self-test at power up in
progress or failed) for the unit. For each RJ-45 (ports # 2 -7), there are Link and Activity
(LK/ACT) LEDs indicating traffic, 10/100 (ON for 100Mbps) LEDs indicating speed, and
full/half (F/H) duplex indicators. The fiber ports (#1 and 8), have (LK/ACT) indicators only.
The rugged design of the case using high-strength rugged 18-gauge steel enables this
product to withstand environments with inhospitable high / low temperatures, and makes it
suitable for “outdoors” temperatures, road-side pedestals, control rooms and military use.
For DC-powered models, the DC power plug connector or “jack” is in the left front of
the chassis. The DC Magnum P62-Series Model is typically used for power input of 24VDC
or –48VDC only. The DC input power supports a wide range, from 20-60 VDC auto-ranging.
DC power input is featured for high reliability and convenience in out-of-the-way locations.
