Connecting Ethernet Media; Connecting Fiber Optic St-Type, "Twist-Lock - GarrettCom Magnum 6K8-Series Hardware Installation And User's Manual

Magnum 6K8-Series Industrial Field Switch
For AC power input, locate an AC receptacle that is within six feet (2 meters)
of the intended Magnum 6K8-Series site. The rugged metal case of the Magnum 6K8-
Series will normally protect it from accidental damage in a lab or workplace setting.
Maintain an open view of the front to visually monitor the status LEDs. Keep an open
area around the unit so that cooling can occur from convection while the unit is in
operation. The 6K8-Series has no fans, so it is silent when in operation. Internal
electronics use the case as a heat sink, so the unit may normally be quite warm to the
touch.

Connecting Ethernet Media

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, 802.3D, 802.3u, 802.3AB and 802.3z standards and connector types are
as follows:

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 6K8-Series 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:
bands at regular intervals; you must use the color-coded strand on the
associated ports at each end of the fiber optic segment.
