Remove the Magnum Media Converter from the shipping container. Be sure to
keep the shipping container should you need to ship the unit at a later date.
In the event there are items missing or damaged contact your supplier. If you need to
return the unit use the original shipping container. Refer to Section 5 Troubleshooting,
for specific return procedures.
2.2 Product Description
Rugged packaging, a selection of extended temperature models, choice of AC
and DC power types, ease-of-use features, and energy-efficiency are the primary
characteristics of the Magnum 10Mb FT14 and FT14H Media Converters. All models
offer a graceful way to convert and transmit data between twisted pair and Fiber network
cables for media flexibility in new or expanded 10Mb Ethernet networks. The future
proof fiber comes as ST connector with Multi or Single Mode options. They provide
standard collision detection and indication, and comply with the Ethernet V1.0 / 2.0
specifications and the IEEE 802.3 standards. Power consumed in use is 1.5 to 2 watts.
The FT14 regular-package units are for office and wiring closet environments
