Introduction
1
The RUGGEDCOM M2100 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
M2100’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 M2100 ’s modular flexibility offers
10BaseFL/100BaseFX/1000BaseX fiber and 10/100/1000BaseTX copper port
combinations. Optional front or rear mount connectors make the RUGGEDCOM
M2100 highly versatile for any application and can support multiple fiber connectors
(ST, MTRJ, LC, SC) without loss of port density. The RUGGEDCOM M2100 is packaged
in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with industrial grade DIN, panel, or 48 cm (19
in) rack-mount mounting options.
