Introduction
1
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 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
RSG2300’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 RSG2300’s modular flexibility offers 1000BaseX fiber and
10/100/1000BaseTX copper port combinations. Optional front or rear mount
connectors make the RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 highly versatile for any application and
can support multiple fiber connectors (SFP, GBIC, LC, SC) without loss of port density.
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300 is packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with
industrial grade DIN, panel, or 48 cm (19 in) rack-mount mounting options.
