against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.

Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which

case the user will be required to correct the interference on his own expense.

Warning: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by RuggedCom Inc. could void the

user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Caution – This product contains a laser system and is classified as a

“CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT”

Caution – Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those specified

herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure. This product contains no user serviceable

parts. Attempted service by unauthorized personnel shall render all warranties null and void.

Should this device require service see the “Warranty and Service” section of this installation guide.

Important:

The RuggedMC

should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only be

gained by service personnel or users who have been instructed about the reasons for the

restrictions applied to the location and about any precautions that shall be taken; and access is

through the use of a tool or lock and key, or other means of security, and is controlled by the

authority responsible for the location.

1 Product Overview

1.1 Functional Overview

The Rugged MediaConverter

is an industrially hardened fiber optical media converter

specifically designed to operate in harsh environments such as those found in electric utility

substations and factory floors. The RMC40

provides industrial strength Ethernet copper-to-fiber

media conversion, providing copper-based 10BaseT or 100BaseTx clients 100BaseFX fiber optical

connectivity.

Specifically tested to the same standards as mission critical protective relaying equipment (i.e.

ANSI/IEEE C37.90 and IEC 60255), and the newly issued IEC 61850-3 “Communications Systems

and Networks in Substations” standard, the RuggedMC

is ideally suited for substation or

industrial environments. The reliability of the Rugged MediaConverter

family exceeds that of

commercial media converters by having no rotating mechanical parts (i.e. no cooling fans), utilizing

high-temperature solid state components and incorporating the necessary transient and surge

suppression circuitry required for substation and harsh industrial environments.

1.2

Feature Highlights

 Utility Grade (i.e. substation hardened) per ANSI/IEEE C37.90, IEC 60255, and the new IEC

61850-3 (2002), IEC 61000-6-5 standards

 Operating temperature: -40° to 85°C (no fan)

 Radiated RF Immunity: 35V/m per ANSI/IEEE C37.90.2

 Power supply options: 24 (10-36VDC), 48 (36-72) or HI (88-300VDC / 85-264VAC)

 2 – 10/100BaseTx RJ45 style auto-negotiating Ethernet ports

 Choice of one of the following:

 1 – 100BaseFX (100Mbps) SC style connector (multimode or single-mode) transceiver

 2 - 100BaseFX (100Mbps) MTRJ (multimode) or LC (single-mode) style transceivers

 Full-Duplex operation on all ports (no collisions)

 Non-blocking, low latency switching with IEEE 802.3x flow-control protocol results in high-

speed reliable communications.
