Magnum 6K8-Series Fiber Switches offer high performance, modularity and 

higher availability to provide an effective solution for Industrial Ethernet needs.  They 

provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and copper ports as well as single or dual 

Gigabit(1000Mb) ports, with industry-standard MNS-6K software. Magnum 6K8-Series 

Switches are easily used in a variety of applications including client/server computing, 

secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental networks, and stream traffic for 

VOIP and audio/video applications for a diversified combination of mixed media for 

monitoring and signaling in Industrial floor applications. The performance characteristic 

of the 6K8-Series Switches enable them to inter-connect a series of subnets (one subnet 

per 6K8-Series Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet connections may be via 

fiber or twisted pair cabling, 1000Mbps, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and full-or half-

duplex.   

 

The mixed-media modular capability is ideal for Industrial applications where 

existing Ethernet LAN network cabling must be accommodated.  The fiber-built-in 

media capability is ideal for integrating future-proof fiber cabling into the LAN structure. 

Equipped with lots of useful features such as a hardened Industrial enclosure, a 

wide spread of AC/DC power supply options, extended temperature rating and secured 

management features qualifies the Magnum 6K8-Series Managed switch for any 

Industrial factory-floors, traffic control, transportations systems, monitoring and 

signaling and power utilities applications. The bundle of MNS-6K software operated 

features diversifies this managed switch to operate and perform securely and reliably in 

all critical applications. The addition of the S-Ring and Link-Loss-Learn software feature 

allows this Managed switch to provide a very reliable highly available redundant 

network capability in any ring topology network. 

 

In an Industrial environment where the factory floors are networked with 

Ethernet based mixed-media LANs and equipped with PLC computers to take readings 

and data from M/C Client/ Server databases and transport this important data to the 

central office data warehouses the Managed 6K8-Series shines.  The Managed 6K8-

Series’s modularity along with MNS-6K management software features handle these 

kinds of networks very securely and reliably through out the Factory-floors. The DIN-

Rail Mounting options on the Magnum 6K8-, allow the Industrial Factory floor user to
