Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS900L is an eight-port industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch supporting
Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL) allowing up to 5km LAN segments over telephone grade cable at up to 35 Mbps.
The RS900L has one EoVDSL port allowing for aggregation of Ethernet enabled devices at remote locations
back to the central control room. It is the perfect solution for bringing Ethernet networking to applications where
telephone wiring is already present thus saving the considerable cost of installing new network cabling.
Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments the RS900L provides a high level of immunity
to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility
substations, factory floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of -40 to 85 °C
(-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification, optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel
enclosure allows the RS900L to be placed in almost any location.
The RS900L is packaged in a compact, galvanized steel enclosure that allows either DIN or panel mounting for
efficient use of cabinet space. The RS900L provides an integrated power supply with a wide range of voltages
(88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide operability or dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 12 VDC, 24 VDC
and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
