Magnum 6K32F/FR/FC/FRC Managed Switch Installation and User Guide (05/08)
B3.0
APPLICATIONS FOR DC POWERED SWITCHES
Magnum 6K32F Series Fiber Switches are easily installed in a variety of
applications where -48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC power is used as the primary power
source. The- 48VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC power configuration provides an Ethernet
networking solution utilizing a special power supply in a Managed Switch.
The –48VDC solution is particularly useful in the telecommunication industry,
where it is common for facilities to operate on -48VDC power. Such companies include
regular and wireless telephone service providers, Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and
other communication companies. In addition, many high availability equipment services,
such as broadcasters, publishers, newspaper operations, brokerage firms and other
facilities often use a battery backup system to maintain operations in the event of a power
failure. It is also frequently used for computer system backup, management and
operations monitoring equipment.
The 24VDC and 125VDC solution are particularly useful in the Industrial
environment, where it is common facilities to operate on 24VDC or 125VDC power. The
125VDC solution is mainly used in power utilities, such as electrical substations,
electrical generating plants, etc. The 24VDC applications are mainly in the Industrial
environment, such as factory floor, HVAC equipment, military equipment, etc.
B4.0 INSTALLATION
This section describes the installation of the -48 VDC, 24VDC and 125VDC
power source leads to the -48 VDC, 24VDC
and 125VDC power terminal block on the
Magnum 6K32F’s.(see photo at right).
In this picture, the
-48VDC terminal block on the Magnum
6K32F Series is located on the rear of the
unit and is equipped with three (3) screw-
down lead posts. It is similar for 24VDC and 125VDC options on Magnum 6K32F
Series. The leads are identified as negative (-), positive (+), and chassis ground (GND).
The actual connection procedure is very straightforward. Simply connect the
leads to the Magnum unit, beginning with ground. Ensure that each lead is securely
tightened.
