Introduction
1
The RUGGEDCOM RST2228P is a utility grade, fully managed, industrial Ethernet
switch designed to operate reliably in harsh environments. With a rugged metal en-
closure and an optional conformal coating, the RUGGEDCOM RST2228P provides a
high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges,
and can withstand temperatures between -40 and 85 °C (-40 and 185 °F).
Highly modular, the RUGGEDCOM RST2228P switch supports up to 24 PoE ports and
28 optical interfaces with data transfer rates of 10/100/1000 Mbit/s. Four ports in-
clude data transfer rates of 10000Mbit/s. This makes it the ideal industry-standard
switch for constructing electrical and/or optical line, ring and star topologies.
The RUGGEDCOM RST2228P switch is supported by RUGGEDCOM RST2228P, which
provides advanced Layer 2 networking functions, and advanced cyber security fea-
tures.
