Introduction; Feature Highlights - Siemens RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 Installation Manual

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 is a rugged, fully managed, modular Ethernet switch
specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically de-
manding utility substation, railway and industrial environments. The RUGGEDCOM
RSG2100's superior rugged 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 net-
works for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 's modular flexibility offers 10BaseFL/100BaseFX/1000Ba-
seX fiber and 10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. Optional front or rear
mount connectors make the RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 highly versatile for any applica-
tion and can support multiple fiber connectors (ST, MTRJ, LC, SC) without loss of port
density. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 is packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclo-
sure with industrial grade DIN, panel, or 48 cm (19 in) rack-mount mounting options.
