Cabling Recommendations

Siemens recommends using RUGGEDCOM industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all
Ethernet ports.
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. This means that during a transient electrical event, communications
errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is automatic.
