1.1 Functional Overview

®
The RuggedSwitch
Ethernet switch specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and
climatically demanding utility substation and industrial environments. The RSG2100's
superior ruggedized hardware design coupled with the RuggedSwitch Operating System
(ROS™) provides improved system reliability and advanced networking features making
it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time control
applications.
The RSG2100's modular flexibility offers 10BaseFL/100BaseFX/1000BaseX fiber and
10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. Optional front or rear mount connectors
make the RSG2100 highly versatile for any application and can support multiple fiber
connectors (ST, MTRJ, LC, SC) without loss of port density. The RSG2100 is packaged
in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with industrial grade DIN, panel, or 19" rack-
mounting options.
