The 2-port @10Mb ST fiber modules behave the same as the 2@100Mb ST 

fiber modules except for the 10Mb speed.  

The default setup on the 10Mb fiber module is half-duplex, which allows the Magnum 

6KQ Switch to connect to any 10Mb hub or media converter or almost any other device 

with a 10Mb fiber Ethernet port. The default setting of the 100Mb fiber module is full 

duplex. User mode-control per port through the MNS “port settings” 

The fiber ports support fiber cabling distances according to the 10BASE-FL 

and 100BASE-FX standards, i.e., 2km distance for multi-mode fiber. (Single-mode for 

greater distances may be available as a special order, request quote). 

 

The Gigabit port options for the modular slot come in a few different 

configurations of Fiber SFP’s or RJ-45’s. The Magnum 6KQ offers only SFPs (Small 

Form Pluggable) for Gigabit speed.   There are multiple choices of SFP Gigabit 

transceiver types to combine with RJ-45’s for the modular slot. Up to two Gigabit ports 

(max.) can be configured in the modular slot D only. An example of a two Gb module is 

the 6KQ-2GSFP (SFP fiber).  An example of a single Gigabit module is the 6KQ-1GCU 

(10/100/1000Mb RJ-45 ports). A combo option of Gigabit copper and SFP fiber  (6KQ-

2GSFPCU) is shown below in the figure. 

 

                             

 

 

 

The 6KQ Modules provide an SFP opening for insertion of industry-standard 

SFP transceivers to provide Gigabit (Gb) media flexibility. Gigabit SFP modules are 

available in both multi-mode (550m) and single-mode (10, 25, 40, 70) km fiber options 

as well as a Gigabit copper option.
