Communication Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RST2228 features four Small Form-factor Pluggable (SFP+) transceiver sockets for uplink
communications, as well as six slots for field-replaceable media modules. Modules can be used to expand and
customize the capabilities of the device to suit specific applications. A variety of modules are available, each
featuring a specific type of communication port: copper Ethernet, fiber optic Ethernet and SFP.
RUGGEDCOM ROS has the ability to analyze SFP types and port hardware capabilities at runtime. Different types of
SFP modules using different integrated MAC and PHY hardware are supported.
Modules can be installed in any one of the available slots in the device chassis.
Use RUGGEDCOM ROS to determine which ports are equipped on the device. For more information, refer to the
