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 RSG2288 includes the IEEE 1588 v2 protocol with hardware time stamping
allowing high precision time synchronization over the Ethernet network with
accuracies of 1us or better. The RSG2288's superior ruggedized hardware
design coupled with the embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS
improved system reliability and advanced cyber security and networking features,
making it ideal for creating mission-critical, Gigabit networks or aggregating
switches into a Gigabit backbone.
The RSG2288's
10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. Support for front or rear mount
connectors coupled with support for multiple fiber connector types (SFP, GBIC,
LC, SC) without loss of port density makes the RSG2288 highly versatile and
suitable for any application. The RSG2288 is packaged in a rugged, galvanized
steel enclosure with industrial grade DIN, panel, or 19" rack-mount mounting
options.
