3.3.1 Rack-mounting (for 19” RETMA racks), regular Magnum 6K25es
Installation of a Magnum 6K25e Fiber Switch in a 19” rack is a simple
procedure. The units are 1U (1.70”) high. When properly installed, the front-mounted
LED status indicators should be in plain view and easy to read. Rack-mount installation
requires special 19” rack-mounted brackets and screws (included with each Magnum
6K25e unit). These brackets attach to the front sides of the Switch (regular package, i.e.,
not the Reverse version), which is then typically fastened into a standard 19” RETMA
rack as shown here.

The 23” brackets and the ETSI (European metric, approx. 21”) brackets are
also available (optional) for rack-mounting of Magnum 6K25e Switches. These brackets
are popular in the Telco industry where they are a standard for Central Office rack-
mounting purposes. The 23” and the ETSI brackets are mainly used for larger equipment

The bracket mounting holes in the sides of the Magnum 6K25e permits it to be
mounted in various ways. The same holes fit all three types (19”, ETSI, 23”) of brackets.
The mounting for the 23” is illustrated in Figure 3.3.1 below. The brackets may be
attached flush with the front, or attached in the center for a set-back mounting which may
reduce cabling torque.
