2.5 Applications
Magnum 6KQE Edge Switches offer high performance, modularity and
availability. They provide the flexibility of 100Mbps fiber and copper ports as well as
single or dual Gigabit (1000Mb) ports, with industry-standard LAN management
software. Magnum 6KQE Switches are easily used in a variety of applications including
client/server computing, secure VLAN- performance upgrades to departmental networks,
and stream traffic for VOIP and audio/video applications. They can also be used in a
much diversified combination of mixed media in Industrial floor applications. The
performance characteristics of the 6KQE Switches enable them to inter-connect a series
of subnets (one subnet per 6KQE Switch port) in a LAN traffic center. The subnet
connections may be via fiber or twisted pair cabling, 100Mbps or 10 Mbps speed, and
full-or half-duplex.
The mixed-media modular capability is ideal for industrial applications where
existing Ethernet LAN network cabling must be accommodated. The fiber-built-in
media capability is ideal for integrating future-proof fiber cabling into the LAN structure.
