Introduction; Feature Highlights - Siemens SIMATIC NET RUGGEDCOM RST2228P Equipment Manual

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RST2228P is a utility grade, fully managed, industrial Ethernet
switch designed to operate reliably in harsh environments. With a rugged metal
enclosure and an optional conformal coating, the RUGGEDCOM RST2228P provides
a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges,
and can withstand extreme temperatures.
Highly modular, the RUGGEDCOM RST2228P switch supports up to 24 PoE ports
and 28 optical interfaces with data transfer rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps. Four ports
include data transfer rates of 10 Gbps. This makes it the ideal industry-standard
switch for constructing electrical and/or optical line, ring, and star topologies.
The RUGGEDCOM RST2228P switch is supported by RUGGEDCOM ROS, which
provides advanced Layer 2 networking functions, and advanced cyber security
features.
