6K8-Series, Industrial Field Switch is the smallest member of
the Managed 6K-Switch family. It is equipped with one module slot configurable to 8-
ports. It is specially designed to meet
industrial, power substation, and
outdoor Ethernet specifications while
fulfilling the needs of hardened
applications. 6K8-Series managed
field switches provide modularity of
fiber and copper ports. They come
with a combination of 10Mb, 100Mb
and 1000Mb speed ports with
comprehensive management software
in a compact industrial-grade package. The combination of multiple possible
configurations, multiple power options, a hardened enclosure, and MNS-6K management
software makes the Magnum 6K8 a very powerful, effective and reliable managed Field
Switch providing a secure solution for many needs.
Setting a new standard for Industrial and Carrier Class applications, heavy duty
Ethernet Switch requirements are readily accommodated with an extended temperature
rating of -40˚C to 60˚C calculated by the UL Component Parts method, or -50˚C to 95˚C
by the IEC 60068 calculated by the Type Test method. With various Power Supply
options, such as all popular DC power input types, worldwide AC power and DIN-Rail
mounting; the hardened Magnum 6K8-Series is a “multi-purpose” Industrial Ethernet
Switch.
The extremely versatile options of various port modules offer all fiber media
possibilities including small form factor (all connector types, multi- and single-mode)
and 10/100 MB auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports. Standard GBIC ports can be configured for
a variety of Gigabit cabling types and distances. For details about module configurations
