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
