RUGGEDCOM RSL910

Reducing cabling costs with a compact rugged Ethernet switch

Siemens has extended its portfolio of rugged network components with the Ruggedcom RSL910 - a compact Ethernet switch designed to operate in harsh environments with widely varying climatic and environmental conditions. Withstanding extreme temperature from -40 up to +85 degrees Celsius, vibration and shock, this device offers high reliability for transportation applications such as rail and ITS (Intelligent Transportation Systems). The Ruggedcom RSL910 helps meet the growing demand for Ethernet in roadside and wayside cabinets by eliminating the need for multiple switches. Customers can reduce cabling costs by re-using existing 2-wire copper cabling. The two Gigabit SFP (Small Form Factor Pluggable) and the two EoVDSL2 (Ethernet over VDSL2) uplinks offer a migration path to fiber optics when required. The 6 copper Fast Ethernet interface lets users connect multiple end devices directly to the RSL910 without the need for additional network equipment. The small form factor of the Ruggedcom RSL910 makes it easy to deploy in space limited cabinets and also be mounted directly on a DIN-Rail. To simplify installation into existing cabinets even further, the Ruggedcom RSL910 supports multiple AC and DC voltage input ranges.
