All of the Magnum “TB14s” Media Converters comply with the IEEE 802.3 
10BASE-T specification for 10 Mb/sec traffic via shielded (STP) or unshielded twisted 
pair (UTP) segments.  They feature an up-link or cross-over switch to eliminate the need 
for a special cross-over cable when connecting to a hub or concentrator and also an 
∝ - 50Ω ) internal termination switch to control the BNC port by eliminating the TEE –
Connector. The BNC connector complies with IEEE 802.3 10BASE2 specifications. 
 
Note: experience shows that the maximum number of 10Mb Media 
Converters that can be used in series is three. The cumulative signal noise 
from 4 or more units together in series may cause packet alignment errors.
