Magnum Media Converters are specifically designed to convert data signaling
to allow transmission between two different Ethernet cabling types, allowing migration to
a new media type while preserving segments of the pre-existing wiring structure.
All of the Magnum Media Converters comply with the IEEE 802.3 10BASE-T
specification for 10 Mb/sec traffic via shielded (STP) or unshielded twisted pair (UTP)
segments. The Media Converters feature an up-link or cross-over switch to eliminate the
need for a special cross-over cable when connecting to a hub or concentrator.
Note: experience shows that the maximum number of 10Mb Media Converters
that can be used in series is three. The cumulative noise from 4 or more units together
causes packet alignment errors.
