Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RP100 provides the flexibility to power remote PoE (Power over
Ethernet) devices using standard shielded CAT 5 cables. Converging data and power
onto a single cable saves money, space and labor for new and existing installations.
Compatible with the latest 802.3at high power PoE standard and backwards
compatible with low power 802.3af PoE devices, the RP100 provides versatility and
investment protection to handle future demands for increased power.
The RP100 provides the ultimate in network reliability, while IEC 61850-3 and IEEE
1613 electric utility substation certifications guarantee the RP100 will provide
uninterrupted operation in the harshest of environments. The RP100 delivers
unprecedented EMI immunity and performance for the most mission critical
networks where a single lost message can impact operation. The RP100 is ideal to
implement utility networks as part of the Smart Grid solution.
Unmatched Reliability
The RP100 provides stability and performance under high levels of temperature
variations, EMI stress and voltage fluctuations that occur in electrical and industrial
applications.
