1 Product Overview

1.1 Functional Overview

The RuggedSwitch RS500 is a substation hardened, fiber optical Ethernet switch specifically designed to operate in harsh environments such as those found in electric utility substations and harsh industrial environments. The RS500 provides 4 10BaseFL fiber optical ports and one 100BaseFX port.

Specifically tested to the same standards as mission critical protective relaying equipment (i.e. ANSI/IEEE C37.90 and IEC 60255) the RS500 is ideally suited to form the Ethernet network in a UCA2 (Utility Communications Architecture 2.0) based substation automation network. Because the RS500 was designed to meet the demands of the substation environment it is also ideally suited for industrial automation networks based on Industrial Ethernet. The reliability of the RS500 exceeds that of commercial Ethernet switches by having no rotating mechanical parts such as cooling fans and by utilizing high-temperature solid-state components.

1.2 Feature Highlights

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