1. Product Overview

The RuggedSwitch™ RS900GP is an industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch providing dual fiber optical Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast Ethernet copper ports - each capable of supplying high power 802.3at compliant power over Ethernet. Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, the RS900GP provides a high level of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric utility substations, factory floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C coupled with hazardous location certification, a powder coated aluminum enclosure and optional conformal coating allows the RS900GP to be placed in almost any location.

The embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS™) provides advanced networking features such as Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree (eRSTP™), Port Rate Limiting and a full array of intelligent functionality for high network availability and manageability.
