GarrettCom, Inc. Personal Switch, 8 port P80

Features • Personal Switch™, provides up to eight 10/100 switched RJ-45 ports, for servers or for users • P80F models provide a 100Mb fiber backbone port built in, no media converter needed • Compact office-size desktop packaging brings future- proof fiber backbone connectivity to the workplace • Fast Ethernet fiber connectors may be multi-mode SC, ST, MTRJ, or single-mode (either 20km or 40km “long-reach”) SC type • Comes with a durable metal enclosure, metal mounting clips, and an external power supply for either 115vac or 230vac power Description Magnum™ P80-series Personal Switch™ provides the performance of a 100Mb switched fiber link upstream, coupled with the convenience of switched 10/100 copper ports for workplace LAN connections, all in one compact unit about the size of a paperback book. It is designed for “fiberto- the-workplace” applications. Where “future-proof” fiber cabling is installed in the building infrastructure to a wall plate or jack in each office, lab, classroom or small workgroup area, the P80-series enables 10/100 copper-cable devices to be economically connected. No media converter is required. In a typical application, a P80 Personal Switch is used in an individual’s multi-system office, or to support a small workgroup, a remote office, or a classroom. The Magnum P80F and P80C are easy to install and use. Addresses of attached nodes are automatically learned and maintained, adapting the switching services to network changes and expansions to provide plug-and-play operation. Flow control maximizes throughput across all ports. Top-mounted LEDs provide status information on each port. A P80F Personal Switch has one full-duplex 100Mb switched fiber port, and seven switched 10/100 full/half auto-negotiating RJ-45 ports. While the switched fiber port is typically for a backbone connection, the switched RJ-45 ports can be used for a high-performance workplace server, power users, or to cascade to another P80-series unit for expansion. The Magnum P80Fs 100Mb fiber port supports full distance fiber LAN cabling to a wiring closet switch upstream. The fiber port is available with a multi-mode ST, SC, or MTRJ-type connector, or with a single-mode SC-type (to support either 20 or 40 kilometers). For applications where the fiber port is not needed, the P80C model substitutes an N-way copper port for the fiber port. The P80-series Personal Switches include an external power supply unit for either 115 or 230vac, a rugged metal case and metal mounting brackets suitable for wall mounting. The Magnum P80-series Personal Switches and the other high quality Magnum products are backed by a three-year warranty.
