Product Description - Magnum 6KL Managed Edge Switch
Magnum™ 6KL Managed Edge Switches provide configurability in an entry-
level industrial-grade package. The high performance 6KL base unit comes with four
10/100 copper ports (which may be either regular or PoE). Up to 4 100Mb fiber ports or
up to four more 10/100 copper ports or combinations, may also be configured. In
addition, one or two Gb ports may be configured as 10/100/1000 copper or SFP fiber in
any 6KL base unit.
Magnum 6KL comes with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks
software. (MNS-6K-SECURE optional) See the Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K)
datasheet for more information at

Magnum 6KLs are ideal for building a switched, hardened Ethernet network
infrastructure, connecting edge devices such as PLCs and IEDs with upstream switches
or routers. Designed for use in industrial applications such as factory floors and control
cabinets, industrial video surveillance systems with PoE, power utility substations,
tariffed carrier field facilities, or transportation and oil and gas, the rugged Magnum 6KL
handles stressful workloads (mixes of bursty data traffic and priority streaming traffic) as
well as harsh environmental conditions.
The 6KL metal case serves as a heat sink and a sealed-case design enables the
unit to operate in harsh Industrial grade environments and achieves high EMI noise
immunity. Heavy duty Ethernet Switch jobs are readily accommodated with an extended
temperature rating of -40˚C to 60˚C by the UL Component Parts method, or -40˚C to
85˚C by the IEC 60068 Type-Test method. With options such as several popular DC
power input types, AC power and DIN-Rail mounting, the hardened Magnum 6KL is a
“multi-purpose” Industrial Ethernet Switch.
