1. Product Overview
1.1. Functional Overview
The RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 is a high-port density routing and switching platform, designed
to operate in harsh environments. The RX5000 can withstand high levels of electromagnetic
interference, radio frequency interference, and a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The
RX5000 is designed to meet the challenging climatic and environmental demands found in utility,
industrial, and military network applications.
The RX5000's superior hardware design, coupled with the embedded ROX™ operating system,
provides improved system reliability for the most demanding network applications. The cyber security
and networking features make it ideally suited for creating secure Ethernet networks for mission
critical, real-time, control applications.
The RX5000 is a scalable, modular platform providing the the ability to change the
RuggedBackbone™ as the network grows and needs change.
The RuggedEnclosure™ is rated for IP65 ingress protection, meaning that it is dust tight and can
withstand water from a nozzle in any direction. Constructed with aluminum extrusions with fins on
both sides and combined with high reliability internal circulation fans, the enclosure optimizes heat
transfer without the exchange of outside air and improves the MTBF for the enclosed electronics.
