1 Product Overview

The RuggedSwitch™ RS900G is an industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch
providing dual fiber optical Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast Ethernet copper ports. Designed
to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, the RS900G 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 galvanized
steel enclosure and optional conformal coating allows the RS900G 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.
