Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RS1600T provides substation hardened, fully managed, Ethernet
switches specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically and environmentally
harsh environments.
The RUGGEDCOM RS1600T's Zero-Packet-Loss™ technology provides a high level of
immunity to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and heavy electrical surges typical
of environments found in electric utility substations, industrial plant floors or in curb
side traffic control cabinets.
An operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F) allows the
RUGGEDCOM RS1600T to be placed in almost any location. For applications requiring
high availability the RUGGEDCOM RS1600T provides the option for integrated dual
redundant power supplies each capable of accommodating a wide range of input
voltages for worldwide operability. Also unique is the ability to have each power
supply fed from different voltage levels and/or sources thereby providing great
flexibility in creating high availability systems.
The RUGGEDCOM RS1600T offers advanced Layer 2 and 3 networking features and
network management via the Rugged Operating System (ROS). A unique feature of
ROS is the performance of its IEEE 802.1w Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol (RSTP™)
used for implementing fault tolerant ring and mesh network architectures. The
protocol has been optimized to support ring sizes of up to 160 switches and fault
recovery times in the order of less than 5 ms per switch.
The RUGGEDCOM RS1600T's superior ruggedized design coupled with the Rugged
Operating System (ROS) provides improved system reliability, secure access
management, and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating
Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
