Cabling Recommendations
All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against
damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards. This means
that during a transient electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is
automatic.
