Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM M969F is a MIL-STD hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch providing dual fiber optical Fast
Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast Ethernet copper ports in a MIL-STD 901D rated package (for
protection against vibration and shock impacts) and is IP65/IP67 rated for protection against strong jets of water
(IP65) or temporary immersion in water (IP67).
Designed to operate reliably in harsh environments, the RUGGEDCOM M969F provides a high level of tolerance to
vibrations and shock impact; high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference; an operating temperature
range of -40 to 85 °C (40 to 185 °F); hazardous location certification and IP65/IP67 rated waterproof packaging. All
of which allows the RUGGEDCOM M969F to be placed in virtually any location.
The embedded RUGGEDCOM Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides advanced layer 2 and layer 3 networking
functions, advanced cyber security features, and a full array of intelligent functionality for high network
availability and manageability. Coupled with the ruggedized hardware design, the RUGGEDCOM M969F is ideal for
creating mission-critical, real-time, control applications in any harsh environment.
