Introduction; Feature Highlights - Siemens SIMATIC NET 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
demanding 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
networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100's modular flexibility offers
10BaseFL/100BaseFX/1000BaseX fiber and 10/100/1000BaseTX copper port
combinations. Optional front or rear mount connectors make the RUGGEDCOM
RSG2100 highly versatile for any application 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 enclosure with industrial grade
DIN, panel, or 48 cm (19 in) rack-mount mounting options.
