In an eight-port SFF fiber port module, all of the fiber ports are of the same 

speed (100Mb), mode, and connector type. Models that are available with Small Form 

Factor (SFF) are multi-mode MT-RJ or LC-type connectors, and single-mode LC-type 

connectors.  

The 100Mb fiber eight-port modules for the Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC 

normally are set (factory default) to operate in full-duplex mode for best fiber distance 

and performance. Using the 6K32T & 6K32TRC’s   MNS software, the user may select 

full- or half-duplex mode per-port through the set-up of the software (See the Magnum 

6K32T & 6K32TRC MNS Software Manual for the flexibility to adapt to any FDX or 

HDX type of Fast Ethernet devices).  

There are three LED’s per fiber port. The Link (LK) LED indicates “ready for 

operation” on that port when lit, the F/H LED indicates operation in full-duplex mode 

when ON (half-duplex when OFF), and the blinking ACT LED indicates receiving 

Activity on the port. A fiber cable must be connected into a SFF port and the Link (LK) 

indicator for that port must be ON (indicating there is a powered-up device at the other 

end of the cable) in order for a LK LED to provide valid indications of operating 

conditions on that port. 

 
2.2.3    Eight-Port Copper     
Module, 6K8-RJ45 (MDIX)  

The 6K-Series’s 8-port Copper 

port module, model 6K8-RJ45, 

provides eight 10/100Mb switched 

RJ-45 ports. The 10/100Mb 

switched ports normally (as a 

default setting) are independently N-way auto-negotiating, and auto-crossover(MDIX) 

for operation at 10 or 100Mb speed in full- or half-duplex mode, i.e., each independently 

selects a mode and speed to match the device at the other end of the twisted pair cable.  

 

 (See Section 4.3 for auto-negotiation and MDIX details). The auto-crossover feature will 

automatically determine the other side of connection to make the connection, and 

eliminate the need of cross-over cable.
