Product Description - Magnum 6KQ Field Switch
Magnum
6KQ Managed Field Switches provide maximum configurability in
their class. The fiber-rich 6KQ can be configured with up to 12 100Mb fiber ports and
two Gigabit ports. For 10/100 copper, regular or PoE-equipped 10/100 RJ-45 or
10/100/1000 copper ports may be configured to a maximum or 12 at 10/100 and 2 Gig
ports. Magnum 6KQ comes with the best-of-breed MNS-6K managed networks software
featuring GUI ease of use, Secure Web Management, SNMPv2,v3 management, 802.1p
QoS Prioritization, Tag-based VLANs, IGMP Snooping and IGMP-L2 multicast
management, port security, RADIUS and support, and a choice of
redundancy options including RSTP and GarrettCom’s rapid-ring-recovery S-Ring and
RS-Ring products. See the Managed Networks Software (MNS-6K) datasheet for more
information.
Magnum 6KQs 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 6KQ
handles stressful workloads (mixes of bursty data traffic and priority streaming traffic) as
well as harsh environmental conditions.
Advanced thermal design techniques with ribbed –surface Aluminum
cases for maximum heat
dissipation and a sealed
case design enables the unit
to operate in harsh
Industrial grade
environments efficiently.
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 -50˚C to 85˚C by the IEC 60068 Type-Test method. With
options such as several popular DC power input types (optional AC power) and DIN-Rail
mounting, the hardened Magnum 6KQ is a “multi-purpose” Industrial Ethernet Switch.
