Installation Guide IMPORTANT! Siemens requires the use of external surge protection in VDSL applications where the line may be subject to surges greater than that for which the device is rated. Use the following specifications as a guide for VDSL external surge protection: •...
RUGGEDCOM RS920W Chapter 2 Installation Guide Installing the Device Connect the negative wire from the power source to the negative terminal on the terminal block. Using a braided wire or other appropriate grounding wire, connect the surge ground terminal to the chassis ground connection.
Section 2.5 Cabling Recommendations Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation applications. All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards.
RUGGEDCOM RS920W Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports Communication Ports The RS920W can be equipped with various types of communication ports to enhance its abilities and performance. To determine which ports are equipped on the device, refer to the factory data file available through ROS.
Chapter 3 RUGGEDCOM RS920W Communication Ports Installation Guide Section 3.1 Copper Ethernet Ports The RS920W supports several 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45 receptacles are directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.
Slave is designated downstream while data flowing from the Slave to the Master is designated upstream. Siemens offers two flavors of VDSL: Universal EoVDSL and Long-Reach EoVDSL. Universal EoVDSL ports are Master/Slave selectable and offer symmetric data rates up to 35 Mbps with distances up to 2.5 km (1.6 mi). Long- Reach EoVDSL ports are fixed as either Master or Slave but offer asymmetric data rates up to 40 Mbps with distances up to 5 km (3.1 mi).
