Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE is a MIL-STD, high-port density routing and switching platform,
designed to operate in the most demanding environments.The RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE can withstand high levels
of electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference, and a wide temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40
to 185 °F). The RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE is designed to meet the challenging climatic and environmental demands
found in utility, industrial, and military network applications.
The RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE's superior hardware design, coupled with the embedded RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE
operating system, provides improved system reliability for the most demanding network applications. The cyber
security and networking features make it ideally suited for creating secure Ethernet networks for mission critical,
real-time, control applications.
The RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE is a scalable, modular platform providing the ability to change the configuration as
the network grows and needs change.
The enclosure is a tough, welded aluminum, hard-mount enclosure built to house Siemens networking products
and provide MIL-STD ratings for shock, vibration, emissions, immunity, temperature, and humidity. Ten external
patch panels with up to 64 MIL grade round connectors provide tremendous flexibility and allow the enclosure to
be employed in many diverse applications. A variety of patch panel cable assemblies allow convenient and simple
mapping from internal electronics to the outside world.
The enclosure is rated for IP65 ingress protection, meaning that it is dust tight and can withstand water from a
nozzle in any direction. Constructed with aluminum extrusions with fins on both sides and combined with high
reliability internal circulation fans, the enclosure optimizes heat transfer without the exchange of outside air and
improves the MTBF for the enclosed electronics.
The RUGGEDCOM MX5000 installed with the enclosure provides an extremely flexible package with MIL-STD
approvals, continuing Siemens's tradition of pioneering advanced networking solutions specifically for the harsh
environments found in military applications.
