Features and Benefits

„ M12 Copper connections

Magnum 6KM Switches utilize M12 connectors to withstand shock and vibration.
Ideally suited for the harshest of mobile applications.

„ Managed switching for high performance Ethernet LANs

Magnum 6KM Switches provide unicast non-blocking (all ports can run at full speed
at once) performance with standard Managed Network Software. They are typically
used in LAN traffic centers with up to 8 100Mb +2 Gigabit ports for backbone
connections, where managed network services are desired.

„ Switching services includes 802.1p QoS packet prioritization

The Magnum 6KM switching hardware supports QoS, giving packet processing
priority to priority tagged packets according to the IEEE 802.1p standard. For port-
and application-specific priorities of data, the QoS software may be configured.

„ Fiber Ports Built-In

Magnum 6KM Mobile Ethernet Switches are designed to naturally include fiber ports,
and support mixes of multi-mode, single-mode, 100Mb and 1000Mb speed; full-and
half-duplex; and classic Small Form Factor (SFF) fiber connectors.

„ Relay Contacts for monitoring internal power and user-defined software events

Two Alarm Relay contacts monitor basic operations. One is for hardware, and will
signal loss of power internally. The other is software controlled and will signal user-
defined software events such as a security violation or an S-Ring fault condition.

„ Panel mounting for efficient convection cooling, no fans, extended temperature

Mounting brackets for vertical or horizontal mounting are included. DIN-Rail
mounting hardware is optional.

„ All types of power input, 12, 24, 48, 110, 125, 250VDC and AC

The 6KM can be configured with the user’s choice of DC power supplies: 12V and
24V for factory floor, 48V for tariffed carrier field facilities and for PoE-powered
applications such as IP video surveillance, 110V for railways and 125V or 250V for
substations. An internal AC power supply may also be chosen, universal AC for use
worldwide.

„ Heavy-duty design for Industrial Ethernet and extended temperature operation

Fiber ports take more power than copper ports, but the Magnum 6KM design provides
for this with heavy-duty components. The ambient temperature dual-rating is 60`C
per UL methods, and 85

°C per IEC type test methods.

„ MNS-6K licensed Management Software

Managed Networks Software (MNS) basic version, combined with a

Magnum 6K-Series Switch, provides power and efficiency in a managed Ethernet

platform. A full range of industry-standard software functions in the MNS-6K

software product enables the versatile Magnum 6K Switches to perform efficiently

in a wide range of managed LAN applications, including redundant topologies.
