1.1 Functional Overview
The RuggedSwitch
®
RSG2300 is an industrially hardened, fully managed,
modular Ethernet switch specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically
harsh and climatically demanding utility substation and industrial environments.
The RSG2300’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 Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control
applications.
The RSG2300’s modular flexibility offers 1000BaseX fiber and
10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. Optional front or rear mount
connectors make the RSG2300 highly versatile for any application and can
support multiple fiber connectors (SFP, GBIC, LC, SC) without loss of port
density. The RSG2300 is packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with
industrial grade DIN, panel, or 19" rack-mount mounting options.
