Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 is a rugged, fully managed, modular Ethernet switch specifically
designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding utility substation, railway and
industrial environments. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100’s superior rugged 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 RUGGEDCOM RSG2100’s modular flexibility offers 10BaseFL/100BaseFX/1000BaseX fiber and
10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. Optional front or rear mount connectors make the RUGGEDCOM
RSG2100 highly versatile for any application and can support multiple fiber connectors (ST, MTRJ, LC, SC) without
loss of port density. The RUGGEDCOM RSG2100 is packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with industrial
grade DIN, panel, or 48 cm (19 in) rack-mount mounting options.
