Introduction
1
The RUGGEDCOM RS900L is an 6-port utility-grade, fully managed Ethernet switch
with Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL) capabilitiies, designed to operate reliably in
electrically harsh and climatically demanding environments.
EoVDSL supports LAN segments of up to 5 km (3.1 mi) over telephone grade cable
(or other legacy serial cabling) at up to 35 Mbps (upstream and downstream). It
allows an Ethernet-enabled device to communicate with a central control room
using existing cabling. It is the perfect solution for bringing Ethernet networking to
applications where existing wiring is already present, thus saving the considerable
cost of upgrading existing legacy devices or installing new network cabling.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900L provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic
interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found on plant
floors and curb-side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of
-40 to 85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with hazardous location certification (Class I
Division 2), optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel enclosure allows the
RUGGEDCOM RS900L to be placed in almost any location.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900L can be mounted on a DIN rail or panel for efficient use of
cabinet space.
The integrated power supply supports a wide range of voltages (88-300 VDC or
85-264 VAC) for worldwide operability, as well as dual-redundant, reversible polarity,
24 VDC and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high availability applications requiring
dual or backup power inputs.
The RUGGEDCOM RS900L 's superior ruggedized design and embedded RUGGEDCOM
Rugged Operating System (ROS) provides superior system reliability and advanced
networking features making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet networks for
mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
