IEEE Standard Connector
Twisted Pair (CAT 5E)
1000BASE-T RJ-45
NOTE : It is recommended that high quality CAT. 5E cables (which work for both 100
Mb and 1000Mb) be used whenever possible in order to provide flexibility in a
mixed-speed network.
The following procedure describes how to connect a 1000BASE-T twisted pair segment
to the RJ-45 port. The procedure is the same for both unshielded and shielded twisted
pair cables.
1. 1000Base-T connections require that all four pairs or wires be connected. Insert
either end of the cable with an RJ-45 plug into the RJ-45 connector of the port.
Note that, even though the connector is shielded, either unshielded or shielded
cables and wiring may be used.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the corresponding device
3. Use the LINK LED to ensure proper connectivity by noting that the LED will be
illuminated when the unit is powered and proper connection is established

Table-Top or Shelf Mounting
The
Magnum 6K32 Manageable Switches can be easily mounted on a table-top
or any suitable horizontal surface, and has four rubber feet to provide stability without
scratching finished surfaces.
3.3.1 Rack-mounting (for 19” RETMA racks), regular Magnum 6K32s
Installation of a Magnum 6K32 Fiber Switch in a 19” rack is a simple
procedure. The units are 1U (1.70”) high. When properly installed, the front-mounted
LED status indicators should be in plain view and easy to read.
Rack-mount installation requires
special 19” rack-mounted brackets
and screws (included with each
Magnum 6K32 unit). These
brackets attach to the front sides
of the Switch (regular package,
i.e., not the Reverse version),
which is then typically fastened into a standard 19” RETMA rack as shown here.
The 23” brackets and the ETSI (European metric, approx. 21”) brackets are
also available (optional) for rack-mounting of Magnum 6K32 Switches. These brackets
are popular in the Telco industry where they are a standard for Central Office rack-
mounting purposes. The 23” and the ETSI brackets are mainly used for larger equipment
