Functional Overview

The RuggedBackbone™ RX1501 is a cost-efficient, rugged layer 3 switch and router. The RX1501's modular
and field replaceable platform allows you to select WAN, serial, and Ethernet options, making it ideally suited for
electric power utilities, the industrial plant floor, and traffic control systems.
The RX1501 is designed to the RuggedRated™ specification, providing a high level of immunity to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and heavy electrical surges typical of the harsh environments found in many
industrial applications. An operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) allows the RX1501 to
be placed in almost any location.
