  The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6KQ will normally protect it from 

accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting.  Maintain an open view of the front to 

visually monitor the status LEDs.  Keep an open area around the unit so that cooling can 

occur from convection while the unit is in operation. The 6KQ has no fans, so it is silent 

when in operation.  Internal electronics use the case as a heat sink, so the unit may 

normally be quite warm to the touch. 

                               
3.2 

 

The Magnum 6KQ Switches are specifically designed to support all standard 

Ethernet media types within a single Switch unit.  This is accomplished by using a family 

of different Port Modules which can be individually selected and configured per-slot.  

See Section 2.2 for a description of the PMs. 

 

The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE 802.3, 

802.3D, 802.3u, 802.3AB and 802.3z standards and connector types are as follows:

Connecting Fiber Optic ST-type, “twist-lock” 

  

 

The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with ST-type fiber 
connectors. This procedure applies to ports using a 6KQ module, MST-type port. 

1. 

Before connecting the fiber optic cable, remove the protective dust caps from 
the tips of the connectors on the PM.  Save these dust caps for future use.
