FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) 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.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) The FT14 regular-package units are for office and wiring closet environments and use an external AC power supply. A metal case with convection cooling is featured.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) Operation may be in 0° to 50°C ambient temperature. The units can be mounted securely on a closet wall or metal cabinet, or by using the metal panel mounting clips included. The FT14H Hardened unit features a sealed metal case which is also used as a heat sink. No air inflow is required for cooling, so the FT14H resists dust, dirt, moisture, smoke and insects, and is plenum rated.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) All units are compatible with Ethernet V 1.0 / 2.0 specifications and comply with IEEE 802.3 standards.

FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) The up-link (or crossover) switch on the RJ-45 port simplifies cable installation. All fiber models operate in transparent full- or half-duplex mode, supporting matched sets of either mode type, i.e., attached devices are either both full-duplex or both half-duplex. Magnum FT14-series 10Mb Media Converters are designed for quick and easy installation even in very tight spaces.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) extended temperature power supply AC/DC (External/Internal) to qualify for uncontrolled and Industrial application. Each converter features two full sets of LEDs that convey essential diagnostic and status information at any angle. See Section 4.1 and 4.4, for power supply and LED function specifications. All of the Magnum FT14-series Media Converters comply with the IEEE 802.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) 2.3 Features and Benefits Reduces Network Costs Magnum Media Converters offer the ideal solution to efficiently and inexpensively connect Twisted Pair with 10Mb Fiber media within an expanding Ethernet network where full repeaters are not required.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) Two sets of LEDs for viewing status from any angle. Each FT14 Media Converter is equipped with a two sets (front and side) of LEDs to provide status information when viewed at any angle or mounting arrangement, rack-mount (MC14- Tray) or wall-mount.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) Qualified to use for temperature un-controlled “outdoor” application The Magnum FT14H Hardened version of media converter supports the ambient temperature rating up to –40C to +75C for DC options model, which qualified for un-controlled “outdoor” application.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) 2.4 Applications for FT14’s and hardened FT14H’s The primary function of a 10Mb Ethernet Media Converter is to permit two different 10Mb media types to coexist inexpensively within the same network by allowing data to be transmitted and received between different media types.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) In this application, in a Industrial environment where extended temp. supported units is a requirement, the existing Twisted pair network can be easily connected to longer distance through fiber media using Magnum FT14 or FT14H 10 Mb media converters. 10Base-T Ethernet Segment RX/ACTLink Pw Link RX\ACT ACT TWISTED PAIR FIBER Magnum TB14 Lin k UP LINK Media Converter RX\ACT Lin k RX 9VDC .
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) 2.5 Full / Half-duplex capability For 10Mb FT14-series Media converters, the twisted-pair to fiber combination is capable of full-duplex (i.e., simultaneously transmitting and receiving on the same cable segment) operation.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) networks, the LINK signal on a managed switch (or hub) port is used as an indicator that the attached cable segment is installed and operable. The network manager, using the SNMP agent, can troubleshoot the cabling by examining the LINK status on each port. This works fine as long as all of the cabling is twisted pair.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) the cable attached to a managed switch port. The Link-Pass-through in the FT14H models provides the LINK “see-through” feature desired for managed networks. On the FT14H models, either both LINK LEDs are lit or neither is lit. And, the FT14 and FT14H’s both operate in transparent half- and full-duplex mode.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) 3.0 INSTALLATION This section describes the installation of the Magnum FT14-series Media Converters, including location, segment distance calculation and media connection. 3.1 Locating the Media Converter Unit All the FT14-series operate in transparent halfand full-duplex mode. For half-duplex traffic, the FT14-series work correctly but do not detect or indicate collisions.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) Velcro strip may be used for mounting the unit on a vertical surface such as a wall or cabinet, or for securing the unit on a table-top or shelf. Alternatively, metal mounting clips and screws are included for a rugged and secure mounting in any orientation. Installation of the Magnum FT14 and FT14H Media Converters is a simple procedure.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) 3.2 MC14-TRAY for Rack Mounting of FT14 and FT14H Media Converters For 19” rack-mounting of Magnum FT14-series Media Converters, a rack-mount tray is available, MC14-TRAY. The Media Converter units are mounted with their RJ-45 port and DC power jack in the back, with either fiber or BNC cable in the front. Any mix of the FT14-type Media Converters may be placed on a tray, up to a maximum of 16 units.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) specific to the “14”-series, and do not permit other models). A typical installation of the model MC14-TRAY, 19” rack-mount tray will hold a few (often three to eight) 14-series Media Converters, with their power supplies plugged into power strips (not included) in the rear area of the tray. Metal mounting screws in the bottom-front hold the Media Converters firmly in place.

FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) The side-view picture shown here (above) is an example of an installation of the model MC14-TR+PS9, 19” rack-mount tray, holding a few 10Mbps FT14’s and 100Mb 14E Media Converters, each with their power input plugged into the built-in common AC power supply in the rear area of the tray. (PS units that come with the MC’s are not used).
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) The metal DIN-Rail mounting hardware is optional and needs to be ordered as a separate item, e.g. Model # DIN-RAILMC2. It comes with four screws to attach the bracket to the MC unit. The rail clip is springloaded with a pull-up latch at the top for easy “snap-on” attachment and removal. The Magnum FT14 Models with “HR” have 24VDC power, and have the DINRail-MC2 bracket included and assembled with the MC unit at the factory.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) order to maintain optimum network performance. (See also Technical Specs, Maximum Standard Ethernet Segment Distances, Section 1.1 of this manual.) When installing the Magnum FT14-series Media Converter, it is important to consider the combined overall segment length of both of the attached media types. The overall segment length is calculated by adding together the segment lengths on both sides of the Magnum Media Converters.

The total of the two percentages (39% + 55%) is 94%, which is allowable. Note 1: Where more than one media converter is used in one segment run, the percentages for all of the cabling lengths in the run must be added together and must not exceed 100%.
FT14 and FT14H 10Mb Media Converters Installation and User Guide (09/04) 3.6 Connecting Ethernet Media Connecting Ethernet media to the Magnum FT14 Series Media Converter is very simple and straightforward. Using proper media segment, simply attach the cable end to the appropriate connector. See Sections 4.4 for details of the LEDs on the media converter models. 3.6.
