1. Product Overview

1. Product Overview
The RuggedSwitch™ RS900GP is an industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch
providing dual fiber optical Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast Ethernet copper ports - each
capable of supplying high power 802.3at compliant power over Ethernet. Designed to operate
reliably in harsh industrial environments, the RS900GP provides a high level of immunity to
electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric
utility substations, factory floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature
range of -40°C to +85°C coupled with hazardous location certification, a powder coated aluminum
enclosure and optional conformal coating allows the RS900GP to be placed in almost any location.
The embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS™) provides advanced networking features such
as Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree (eRSTP™), Port Rate Limiting and a full array of intelligent
functionality for high network availability and manageability.
