1.0 SPECIFICATIONS
1.1 Technical Specifications
Performance:
Data Rate: 10 Mbps (IEEE 802.3), half duplex mode
Network Standards:
Ethernet: IEEE 802.3, 10BASE2, 10BASE-T
(Magnum Media Converters are physical layer standard Ethernet products,

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 TB14 and TB14H Media Converters. All models
offer a graceful way to convert and transmit data between twisted pair and thin coaxial
BNC network cables for media flexibility in new or expanded 10Mb Ethernet networks.
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 only 3
watts.
