2.
Wipe clean the ends of the dual connectors with a soft cloth or lint-free lens
tissue dampened in alcohol. Make certain the connectors are clean before connecting.
Note:
One strand of the duplex fiber optic cable is coded using color bands at regular
intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the associated ports at each end of the
fiber optic segment.
fiber optic segment.
3.
Connect the Transmit (TX) port (light colored post) on the Magnum PM to the
Receive (RX) port of the remote device. Begin with the color-coded strand of
the cable for this first TX-to-RX connection.
4.
Connect the Receive (RX) port (dark colored post on the PM) to the Transmit
(TX) port of the remote device. Use the non-color coded fiber strand for this.
The LINK LED on the front of the PM will illuminate when a proper connection has
been established at both ends (and when power is ON in the unit). If LINK is not lit after
cable connection, the normal cause is improper cable polarity. Swap the fiber cables at
the PM connector to remedy this situation.

Connecting Fiber Optic SC-type, "Snap-In"
The following procedure applies to installations using a PM with SC-type fiber
connectors, i.e., using 6Kq-MSC, 6KQ-SSC single-mode.
When connecting fiber media to SC connectors, simply snap on the two square male
connectors into the SC female jacks of the 6KPM, until it clicks and secures.

Single-Mode Fiber Optic
When using single-mode fiber cable, be sure to use single-mode fiber port
connectors. Single-mode fiber cable has a smaller diameter than multi-mode fiber cable
(9/125 microns for single-mode, 50/125 or 62.5/125 microns for multi-mode where xx/xx
are the diameters of the core and the core plus the cladding respectively). Single-mode
fiber allows full bandwidth at longer distances, and may be used to connect 10 Mb nodes
up to 10 Km apart, or 18Km with the 6K-SSC.

The same procedures as for multi-mode fiber, applies to single-mode fiber
connectors. Follow the steps listed in Section 3.2.2 above.
3.2.4
Connecting Twisted Pair (CAT3, CAT5, Unshielded or Shielded)
The RJ-45 ports of the Magnum 6KQ can be connected to the following two
media types: 100BASE-TX and 10BASE-T. CAT 5 cables should be used when making
100BASE-TX connections. When the ports are used as 10BASE-T ports, CAT 3 may be
used. In either case, the maximum distance for unshielded twisted pair cabling is 100
meters (328 ft).
