Copper Ethernet Ports

The RUGGEDCOM RS900GP features eight 10/100Base-TX Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) ports in ports 1 to 8. All
PoE ports are powered by an external power supply and feature the ability to automatically enable/disable power
when PoE-capable devices are connected or removed.
Optionally, an additional set of 10/100/1000Base-TX copper RJ-45 or micro-D Ethernet ports in ports 9 and 10
may be equipped.
Each copper port is directly connected to chassis ground and accepts a standard Category 5 (CAT-5) Unshielded
Twisted-Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted-Pair (STP) cable.
WARNING!
Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded
cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the
RJ-45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more
importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.
The following sections describe each type of copper port in more detail:
• Section 3.2.1, "Copper PoE Ports"
• Section 3.2.2, "Copper RJ-45 and Micro-D Ports (If Equipped)"
