RuggedCom® RuggedBackbone™ 9 RX1512 Installation Guide Rev 105
1. Product Overview
1.1. Functional Overview
The RuggedBackbone™ RX1512 is a cost-efficient, rugged layer 3 switch and router. The
RX1512’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 appliance’s compact form factor makes it ideal for pole mount applications
or installation in restricted spaces.
The RX1512 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 RX1512 to be placed in almost any location.
