2.0 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the FT14 and FT14H models, including appearance,
features and typical applications.
2.1 Inspecting the Package and the Product
Examine the shipping container for obvious damage prior to installing this
product; notify the carrier immediately of any damage which you believe occurred
during shipment or delivery. Inspect the contents of this package for any signs of
damage and ensure that the items listed below are included.
This package should contain:
1 Magnum FT14 or FT14H mm or single-mode Media Converter Unit
1 External Power Supply, (except for internal DC power supply models)
1 set Metal panel mounting clips and screws, 2 each
1 User Guide, i.e., this manual (continued next page)

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

and use an external AC power supply. A metal case with convection cooling is featured.
Magnum FT14 Magnum FT14H
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. Choices of models for external AC or internal
DC power are available. Storage temperature rating is up to –40°C to +75°C depending
on the power source used. The FT14H is suitable for temperature un-controlled outdoor
applications. Mounting options include panel-mounting, DIN-rail, or rack-mount tray.
The FT14-series Media Converters offer a graceful way to convert and
transmit data among twisted pair, and Fiber (Multi or Single Mode) network cabling
environments. FT14 Media Converters cost significantly less than full repeaters and can
be used whenever media distance limitations will not be exceeded in the segment.
All units are compatible with Ethernet V 1.0 / 2.0 specifications and comply with IEEE
802.3 standards.
