Connecting Ethernet Media

The Magnum 6K32T & 6K32TRC 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-port. See Section 2.4 for a
description of the PMs.
The various media types supported along with the corresponding IEEE
802.3 and 802.3u standards and connector types are as follows:
IEEE Standard
Fiber:
1000BASE-FX
100BASE-FX
small form factor
small form factor
Copper:
10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX twisted pair
1000BASE-TX twisted pair

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 6K32T & 6K32TRC 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.
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.
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.
5. 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 the cable is connected, the normal cause is improper cable polarity.
Swap the fiber cables at the PM connector to try to remedy this situation.
