Introduction; Feature Highlights - Siemens SIMATIC NET RUGGEDCOM RSG2488F Installation Manual

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488F is a utility grade, fully managed, industrial Ethernet
switch designed to operate reliably in harsh environments. With a rugged metal en-
closure and an optional conformal coating, the RUGGEDCOM RSG2488F provides a
high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges,
and can withstand temperatures between -40 and 85 °C (-40 and 185 °F).
Highly modular, the RUGGEDCOM RSG2488F switch supports up to 28 electrical and/
or optical interfaces with data transfer rates of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s. This makes it the
ideal industry-standard switch for constructing electrical and/or optical line, ring and
star topologies.
