Comnet RLGE20FX4TX16MS-HV, RLGE20FX4TX16MS-LV Specsheet

Substation-Rated DIN-Rail Mountable All-Gigabit Managed Layer 2 Switch

with 16 10/100/1000 BASE-TX Ports + 4 Gigabit SFP* Uplink Combo Ports

RLGE20FX4TX16MS

ComNet product series RLGE20FX4TX16MS is a substation-rated and industrially-hardened
DIN-rail mount all-gigabit managed layer 2 switch. Fully compliant with the requirements of
IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613 Class 2, EN50155, and NEMA TS-1/TS-2, the RLGE20FX4TX16MS
is intended for deployment in environments where high levels of electromagnetic noise and
interference (EMI) and severe voltage transients and surges are routinely encountered, such
as electrical utility substations and switchyards, heavy manufacturing facilities, track-side
electronic equipment, and other difficult out-of-plant installations.

The RLGE20FX4TX16MS provides 16 10/100/1000BASE-TX communications ports, with 4
10/100/1000BASE-TX or 100/1000BASE-FX SFP uplink ports. The use of SFPs for the four
(4) gigabit uplink ports provides a truly future-proof platform where the uplink optics may be
changed in the field at any time, to support changes in the user’s networking or cable plant
requirements as they arise.

The internal/self-contained 12 to 60 VDC or 85 to 264 VAC/88 to 373 VDC power supply
features redundant power inputs, for the highest possible reliability in those installations
where network availability is of the utmost importance.

The RLGE20FX4TX16MS supports multiple Ethernet redundancy protocols, including ComNet
C-Ring (recovery time < 30ms, with >250 switches integrated within the ring), and MSTP
with RSTP/STP compatibility. With its extremely fast recovery time, the most mission-critical
applications are fully protected from network interruptions or temporary malfunctions due to
possible short or long-term faults or outages within the network.

FEATURES

› Fully compliant with the requirements of IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613

Class 2, for use in electrical utility substations; NEMA TS-1/TS-2 for
Traffic Signal Control Equipment; and EN50155 for railway applications

› 16 × 10/100/1000BASE-TX Mbps Ethernet RJ-45 communications ports

› 4 × 100/1000BASE-X gigabit SFP uplink combo ports provide flexibility

and simplify network planning, & allows for future user field upgrades
and system/cable plant changes without having to replace the switch

› Environmentally hardened for deployment in difficult unconditioned

out-of-plant installations: Extended ambient operating temperature
range of -40˚ C to +75˚ C, (functional to +85 degrees C) for use in
virtually any environment. Conformal coating is optionally available
for humidity with condensation or airborne particulate matter
environments.

› Redundant power supply inputs significantly reduce the possibility of

a single-point-of-failure, for the highest system and network reliability.
Multiple AC and DC operating voltages available

› Supports IEEE 1588v2 Precision Timing Protocol, Transparent Clock

Synchronization (TC), for protective relaying and control applications

› User-programmable alarm relay for local or remote indication of a fault

condition

› C-Ring compatible: Network recovery time <30ms, with >250 switches

within the ring, for Ethernet redundancy.

› Com-Ring open architecture supports other switch manufacturers’ ring

technologies, for seamless network integration

› C-Chain allows multiple redundant network ring capability

› MSTP (RSTP/STP compatible)

› IEC 62439-2 MRP (Media Redundancy Protocol)

› IPV6 internet protocol (latest version)

› Support for Modbus TCP protocol

-40˚ TO 75˚ CSUBSTATIONEXCLUSIVE

› VLAN Unaware: Supports priority-tagged frames to be received by

specific IEDs (Intelligent Electronic Devices)

› Provides HTTPS/SSH protocol for enhanced network security

› IEEE 802.3az Energy-Efficient Ethernet technology, for substantially

reduced power consumption during periods of low data activity.

› SMTP client, NTP server protocol, and IP-based bandwidth

management

› Application-based QoS management

› Device Binding security function

› DOS/DDOS auto-prevention

› IGMP v2/v3 (IGMP snooping support) for filtering multicast traffic

› SNMP v1/v2c/v3 & RMON & 802.1Q VLAN Network Management

› Port mirror function to monitor port data

› ACL, TACACS+ and 802.1x User Authentication for network security

› 9.6K Bytes Jumbo Frame

› Multiple notifications for warning of unexpected events

› Web-based, Telnet, Console (CLI), and Windows utility (eConsole)

configuration

› Supports LLDP Protocol eConsole support

› Ingress Protection Rating: IP-30, with rugged and robust DIN-rail

mountable metal housing

› No fans or forced-air cooling; cooling via natural convection eliminates

unreliable and troublesome fans/moving parts, with no periodic
maintenance requirements

› Lifetime Warranty

* Small Form-Factor Pluggable Module. Sold separately.
