Magnum DS50 / DS60s Dual Speed Hubs                  Installation and User Guide (06/02)

 

  

The Magnum DS60C Dual-speed Hub Plus is an easy to install, cost-effective Dual-

speed hub.  It has five 10/100Mb repeater shared ports along with a 10/100 Mbps switched port 

that can be configured to provide “auto-negotiating” or “Full fixed” connectivity between a 

100Mb segment and a 10Mb segment; or between two 100Mb segments at full duplex 

capability. The Magnum DS60F belongs to the same DS60’s family except the sixth port is a 

switched Fiber port at 100Mbps and can be set at Full-duplex or Half-duplex to support any 

connectivity with Hubs or switches. The “future-proof” fiber port provides a secure  

longer distance advantage and eliminates the need for a media converter, 

The Magnum DS50 dual-speed hub has only the five 10/100 Mb repeater ports. Each 

port can independently identify (via IEEE 802.3u auto sensing) and accept either 100Mbps or 

10Mbps Ethernet signals, adapting to match the best speed of the connected device. Each unit 

has its own internal power supply. The Magnum DS50 / DS60 Dual-speed Hub Plus has two 

internal traffic domains . . . one for the 100 Mb domain and one for the 10Mbps domain. The 

100Mbps users share the 100Mbps domain’s bandwidth and the 10 Mbps users share the 

10Mbps domain’s bandwidth.

Fig. 2.2.1 Magnum DS50 / DS60 is functionally both a 10Mbps and 100Mbps in one 

The Magnum DS60s, because of their dual-speed capability and switched ports, are 

ideally suited for adding a Fast Ethernet workgroup to an existing 10Mb or 100Mb network.  A 

small 10/100Mb workgroup connects to the five “hub” ports while another workgroup or an 

existing network segment . . . a separate collision domain of 10Mb or 100Mb units . . . connects 

to port 6.  For expansion of the five 10/100Mb ports, an additional 100Mbps or 10Mb hub can 

be cascaded from port 1.  Each domain can have its own local servers and other local traffic. 

Thus, the DS60s can bridge-isolate one collision domain from the other, separating the local 

traffic between each workgroup’s users and servers from the rest of the network.  The Magnum 

DS60s will filter and forward the packets to / from port 6 and the other ports, thereby giving 

more bandwidth to each domain for maximum network performance. 

 

The Magnum DS50 / DS60s are available with an internal AC Power supply with 

auto-ranging power voltage (100 - 240 VAC). The 24VDC and -48VDC Power supply option 

enables this product to be used in the industrial and telecom markets. The Magnum DS50 /
