1. Product Overview
1.1. Functional Overview
The RuggedSwitch® 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 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 RSG2300’s modular flexibility offers 1000BaseX fiber and 10/100/1000BaseTX copper port
combinations. Optional front or rear mount connectors make the RSG2300 highly versatile for any
application and can support multiple fiber connectors (SFP, GBIC, LC, SC) without loss of port
density. The RSG2300 is packaged in a rugged galvanized steel enclosure with industrial grade
DIN, panel, or 19" rack-mount mounting options.
The RSG2300P additionally offers 802.3af standard Power over Ethernet (PoE) on up to 4
10/100BaseTx ports. The RSG2300P is an ideal solution to power and connect several Ethernet
devices (such as IP phones, video cameras, and wireless access points) where AC power is not
available or cost-prohibitive to provide locally.
