This chapter describes each Fiber-Port Module (FKM), including appearance, 

functionality, and status displays 

An important feature of the Magnum 4K-Series is the use of Fiber-

Port Modules (FKMs) for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber 

media. Since the Magnum 4K-Series Switches have dual-speed capability for 

copper ports, the copper port interfaces are designed to support all standard 

Ethernet media types at 100Mps speed.  Each FKM provides one port for 

connecting Ethernet segments with its individual connector type and media. 

For a list of Fiber-Port Module types, refer to Section 1.2    

Each FKM is individually described in the following sections. 

NOTE: The Fiber Module option are offered as Factory installation only and 

will be added as  additional two ports (16RJ-45 + 2 Fiber ports).  

 

The Magnum FKM-MST is a multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic module 

equipped with a dual ST-type 

connector. It functions as a fiber optics 

transceiver to support 100BASE-FX 

network segments. When installed in a 

Magnum 4K16 Full-duplex Switch, it 

supports fiber optic cable distances up 

to the IEEE-specified  switch distance limits, i.e., typically 2000 meters. 

FKM-MSC   100Mbps multi-mode FX-SC-type, “snap-in” connector  

The Magnum FKM-MSC is also a 

multi-mode 100Mbps fiber optic transceiver 

module, similar to the FKM-MST. 

While the functionality of the these two 

modules is the same, the FKM-MSC is equipped 

with an  SC-type "snap-in" connector instead of an ST-type. 

The Magnum FKM-SSC (and –SSCL) is a single-mode 100Mbps fiber optic
