Connecting Ethernet Media 

 

 

The Magnum 6K32F Series Switches are specifically designed to 

support all standard Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit.  This is 
accomplished by using a family of different port Modules which can be 
individually selected and configured per-port.  See Section 2.4 for a description 
of the PMs. 

The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE 

802.3 and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows: 

 

 

 

 

Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock” 

  

 

The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with ST-type fiber 
connectors. This procedure applies to ports using a 6K32F Series module, MST-
type port. 

1. 

Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from the

 

tips of the connectors on the PM.  Save these dust caps for future use. 

 
2. 

Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens tissue 
dampened in alcohol.  Make certain the connectors are clean before connecting. 

bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the 
associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment. 

3. 

Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum PM to the 

 

Receive (RX) port of the remote device.  Begin with the color-coded strand of 

 

the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection.
