    Chapter 5 for specific return procedures. Product Description An important feature of the Magnum 8000X Hub is the use of individual Port Modules (PMs) for flexible mixed-media connectivity to RJ-45 and fiber media. Since the Magnum 8000X’s have dual-speed capability per-port, the front port slots are designed to support all standard Ethernet media types at 10 or 100Mps speed.
