* Note: The use of either multi-mode or single-mode fiber to operate at 100Mbps speed
over long distances (i.e., in excess of approx. 400 meters) can be achieved only
if the following factors are both applied:
The 100Mb fiber segment must operate in full-duplex (FDX) mode, i.e. the
full-duplex (factory default) setting for 100Mbps fiber ports must be used,
and
The worst-case OPB of the fiber link must be greater than the fiber cable’s
passive Attenuation.
(Attenuation = Cable loss + LED aging loss + Insertion loss + safety factor)
5.0 Introduction - Magnum 6K16/6K16V Managed Fiber Switch Port
Modules
This chapter describes each Port Module (PM), including appearance,
functionality, and status displays.
5.1 Inspecting the Package and Product
This section applies only to PMs shipped as separate items, i.e., 6K16/6K16V
PMs not factory installed in a Magnum 6K16/6K16V PM slot.
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to
installing a 6K16/6K16V PM; notify the carrier of any damage you believe
occurred during shipment or delivery. Inspect the contents of this package for
any signs of damage and ensure that the items listed below are included.
This package should contain:
1 or more 6K16-Series (6K16 or 6K16V) PMs
Installation instructions, with illustrations
Remove the 6K16-Series PM(s) from the shipping container. Be sure
to keep the shipping container should you need to ship any of the PMs
separately at a later date. In the event there are items missing or damaged,
contact your supplier. If you need to return the unit, use the original shipping
container if possible. Refer to Chapter 5 for specific return procedures.
5.2 6KPM Module Description
An important feature of the Magnum 6K16-Series is the use of Port Modules for flexible
mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since the Magnum 6K16-
Series Switches have dual-speed capability for copper ports, the 2, 4, 6 or 8-port
interfaces are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10 or 100
or 1000Mps speed. Each 6K16-Series PM provides a wide selection of
connecting Ethernet media segments with all similar or combo connector type.
