1 Product Overview

1.1 Functional Overview

The RuggedSwitch
modular Ethernet switch specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically
harsh and climatically demanding utility substation and industrial environments.
The RSG2300's superior ruggedized hardware design coupled with the
embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS™) provides improved system
reliability and advanced cyber security and networking features, making it ideally
suited for creating Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control
applications.
The RSG2300's
10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. Optional front or rear mount
connectors make the RSG2300 highly versatile for any application and can
support multiple fiber connectors (SFP, GBIC, LC, SC) without loss of port
density. The RSG2300 is packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with
industrial grade DIN, panel, or 19" rack-mount mounting options.
The RSG2300P additionally offers 802.3af standard Power over Ethernet (PoE)
on up to 4 10/100BaseTx ports. The RSG2300P is an ideal solution to power and
connect several Ethernet devices (such as IP phones, video cameras, and
wireless access points) where AC power is not available or cost-prohibitive to
provide locally.
