Magnum 6K32F/FR/FC/FRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide (05/08) 

 

 
 

Magnum 6K32F Series Fiber Switches are easily installed in a variety of 

applications where -48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC power is used as the primary power 

source. The- 48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC power configuration provides an Ethernet 

networking solution utilizing a special power supply in a Managed Switch.  

 

The –48VDC solution is particularly useful in the telecommunication industry, 

where it is common for facilities to operate on -48VDC power. Such companies include 

regular and wireless telephone service providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and 

other communication companies.  In addition, many high availability equipment services, 

such as broadcasters, publishers, newspaper operations, brokerage firms and other 

facilities often use a battery backup system to maintain operations in the event of a power 

failure. It is also frequently used for computer system backup, management and 

operations monitoring equipment. 

 

The 24VDC and 125VDC solution are particularly useful in the Industrial 

environment, where it is common facilities to operate on 24VDC or 125VDC power. The 

125VDC solution is  mainly used in power utilities, such as electrical substations, 

electrical generating plants, etc. The 24VDC applications are mainly in the Industrial 

environment, such as factory floor, HVAC equipment, military equipment, etc. 

This section describes the installation of the -48 VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC 

power source leads to the -48 VDC, 24VDC 

and 125VDC power terminal block on the 

Magnum 6K32F’s.(see photo at right). 

 

In this picture, the  

-48VDC terminal block on the Magnum 

6K32F Series is located on the rear of the 

unit and is equipped with three (3) screw-

down lead posts. It is similar for 24VDC and 125VDC options on Magnum 6K32F 

Series.  The leads are identified as negative (-), positive (+), and chassis ground (GND). 

 

The actual connection procedure is very straightforward.  Simply connect the 

leads to the Magnum unit, beginning with ground.  Ensure that each lead is securely 

tightened.
