Features and Benefits
!
Reduces Network Costs
Magnum 14E Media Converters offer an ideal solution to quickly and
inexpensively connect Twisted-Pair TX with Fiber FX cabling.
!
Full-duplex or Half-duplex transparent, auto-negotiation support
Magnum 14E’s support both full-duplex and half-duplex mode transparently,
and are suited for use with 100Mb Ethernet switches supporting (or not
supporting) auto-negotiation.
!
Low PDV for Maximum Cable Lengths in Shared Segments
Magnum 14E Media Converters add signal timing delays of only 20 Bit Times
in a shared half-duplex segment, much less than a Class II (90 to 95 BT ), and
can be used to attach fiber cables to TX ports with low distance loss in an
overall HDX collision domain.
