Magnum 6KQ Managed Field Switches provide maximum configurability in 

their class.  The fiber-rich 6KQ can be configured with up to 12 100Mb fiber ports and 

two Gigabit ports. For 10/100 copper, regular or PoE-equipped 10/100 RJ-45 or 

10/100/1000 copper ports may be configured to a maximum or 12 at 10/100 and 2 Gig 

ports.  Magnum 6KQ comes with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks software 

featuring GUI ease of use, Secure Web Management, SNMPv2,v3 management, 802.1p 

QoS Prioritization, Tag-based VLANs, IGMP Snooping and IGMP-L2 multicast 

management, port security, RADIUS and TACACS+ support, and a choice of 

redundancy options including RSTP and GarrettCom’s rapid-ring-recovery S-Ring and 

RS-Ring products. See the Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) datasheet for more 

information. 

 

Magnum 6KQs are ideal for building a switched, hardened Ethernet network 

infrastructure, connecting edge devices such as PLCs and IEDs with upstream switches 

or routers.  Designed for use in industrial applications such as factory floors and control 

cabinets, industrial video surveillance systems with PoE, power utility substations, 

tariffed carrier field facilities, or transportation and oil and gas, the rugged Magnum 6KQ 

handles stressful workloads (mixes of bursty data traffic and priority streaming traffic) as 

well as harsh environmental conditions. 

  

 

Advanced thermal design techniques with ribbed –surface Aluminum 

cases for maximum heat 

dissipation and a sealed 

case design enables the unit 

to operate in harsh 

Industrial grade 

environments efficiently. 

Heavy duty Ethernet 

Switch jobs are readily 

accommodated with an extended temperature rating of -40˚C to 60˚C by the UL 

Component Parts method, or -50˚C to 85˚C by the IEC 60068 Type-Test method. With 

options such as several popular DC power input types (optional AC power) and DIN-Rail 

mounting, the hardened Magnum 6KQ is a “multi-purpose” Industrial Ethernet Switch.
