3 Product Overview
3.1 Functional Overview & Feature Highlights
The RuggedSwitch™ M2100 is an MIL-STD hardened, fully managed, modular, Ethernet switch
specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh environments.
The M2100's superior ruggedized 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 secure Ethernet networks for mission critical, real-time,
control applications.
The M2100's modular flexibility offers 10BaseFL /100BaseFX/1000BaseSX/1000BaseLX fiber and
10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations, and can support multiple fiber connectors (ST, LC,
Micro-D) without loss of port density, making it highly versatile for any application. The M2100 is
packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure and provides MIL-STD 901D shock and vibration
immunity.
