1.3 Mounting Flexibility
The RS2000 series of products have been designed with maximum mounting
and display flexibility. Customers can order an RS2000 series switch that can be
mounted in a standard 19” rack, 1” DIN Rail, or directly onto a panel. For rack
mount installations, the RS2000 series can be ordered with connectors on the
front panel or on the rear of the chassis. Placing the connectors on the rear
allows all data and power cabling to be installed and connected at the rear of the
rack. See Figure 1 for rack-mount orientation examples.

Note:
Since heat within the RSG2288 is channeled to the enclosure, it is recommended
that 1 rack-unit of space (1.75”) be kept unpopulated and free of equipment
above each RS2000 series product to allow for a small amount of convectional
airflow. Although forced airflow is not necessary, any increase in airflow will result
in a reduction of ambient temperature that will improve long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted within the rack space.

2.7 Ethernet Ports
2.7.1 RJ45 Twisted-Pair Data Ports
RSG2288 Ethernet switches are equipped with up to nine 10/100/1000BaseTX
ports that allow connection to standard CAT-5 UTP cable with RJ45 male
connectors. All RS2000 series RJ45 RuggedSwitch products feature autonegotiation, auto-polarity, and auto-crossover functions. The RJ45 receptacles
can also accept and take advantage of screened (commonly known as
“shielded”) cabling. Figure 25 shows the RJ45 port pins configuration.
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet
communications over distances of up to 100 meters using 4 pairs of category 5
(or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring guidelines,
system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications
Industry Association (TIA) TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard that characterizes
minimum cabling performance specifications required for proper Gigabit Ethernet
operation. To ensure reliable, error-free data communications, new and preexisting communication paths should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
Table 8 summarizes the relevant cabling standards.

Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise
environments:
Data cable lengths should be as short as possible - ideally limited to 3m (10ft)
in length. Copper data cables should not be used for inter-building
communications.
Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and
ideally should be installed in separate conduits. Power and data cables
should intersect at 90 angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.
Shielded/screened cabling can optionally be used. The cable shield should
be grounded at one single point to avoid the generation of ground loops.

2.7.3 Transient Suppression
RuggedCom does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for
critical, real-time, substation automation applications. However, transient
suppression circuitry is present on all copper ports to protect against damage
from electrical transients and to ensure IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1
conformance. This means that during the transient event, communications errors
or interruptions may occur but recovery is automatic. RuggedCom also does not
recommend using these ports to interface to field devices across distances which
could produce high levels of ground potential rise, (i.e. greater than 2500V)
during line-to-ground fault conditions.
2.8 Pluggable optics – Installation, removal, and
precautions
The RSG2200 series of products can be ordered with pluggable optic form
factors: SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) or GBIC (Gigabit Interface
Converter). SFP and GBIC modules can be safely inserted and removed while
the chassis is powered and operating – this feature is also known as “hotswappable”. When inserting or removing optics, there are several precautions
that should be taken. They include:
Ensuring that dust caps are mounted on SFP cages at all times unless a user
RuggedCom
is in the process of inserting or removing an SFP module. The dust caps will
®
28
RuggedSwitch® RSG2288 Installation Guide rev103
Installation
prevent the
accumulation of residue or particles that may inhibit proper
operation.
Ensuring that the user has properly discharged any possible electrostatic
build-up in order to prevent electrostatic discharges (ESD). This can be
accomplished by proper user ‘grounding’ via an ESD wrist strap, or by
touching earth or chassis ground before performing installation or removal of
optics. ESD can damage or shorten the life of optical modules when not
plugged into a chassis.
Ensuring that SFP and GBIC optical modules are always stored in an ESD-
safe bag or other suitable ESD-safe environment, free from moisture and
stored at the proper temperature (–40 to +85C).
Disconnecting all cables from the SFP or GBIC module prior to insertion or
removal of the module.
Using only optics certified by RuggedCom Inc. with RuggedCom products.
Damage can occur to optics and product if compatibility and reliability have
not been properly assessed.
2.8.1 Module Insertion – GBICs and SFPs
Special attention must be paid to the orientation of SFP and GBIC modules upon
installation in the RuggedSwitch
proper orientation of SFP modules installed to both upper and lower slots.
Modules on the upper row must be inserted top-side up, and modules on the
lower row must be inserted top-side down. SFP modules should be inserted with

®
chassis. For example, Figure 26 shows the
Figure 26: SFP Orientation for top row and bottom row ports
Both SFP and GBIC modules should gently slide into their ports and should lock
in place when fully inserted. Dust covers should be in place when installing the
modules, and should always be in place when cables are not connected.
Diagrams of both SFP and GBIC modules are provided in Table 1 as a guide to
the orientation of each t

The Precision Time Protocol (PTP) card option for the RSG2288 adds the ability
to provide time synchronization via IRIG-B, and to synchronize to an external
IRIG-B source or to the GPS network. The time synchronization capabilities of
the RSG2288, both with and without the PTP card option, are summarized
below:

NTP (Network Time Protocol) is the standard for synchronizing the clocks of
computer systems throughout the Internet and is suitable for systems that require
accuracies in the order of 1 ms.
IRIG-B (Inter Range Instrumentation Group, mod B) time synchronization is an
even older, established, inter-device time synchronization mechanism providing
accuracy on the order of 1ms to 1µs.
The Global Positioning System (GPS), as a source of accurate time, requires an
external GPS antenna input to provide accurate time signals on the order of
500ns. The RSG2288 can use the GPS receiver on the PTP card to provide the
time base for the system.
IEEE 1588 is designed to fill a niche not well served by either of the two older,
dominant protocols, NTP and IRIG-B. IEEE 1588 is designed for local systems
requiring accuracies on the order of 100 nanoseconds. IEEE 1588 is also
designed for applications that cannot bear the cost of a GPS receiver at each
node or for which GPS signals are inaccessible. Every Ethernet port on the
RSG2288 supports IEEE1588.
The PTP card option is an ideal product for use in existing installations already
well served by NTP, IRIG-B or GPS. It also provides a migration path for the use
of the new IEEE 1588 v2 standard. As more end devices enter the market with
IEEE 1588 compatibility this card provides an easy transition to this new time
synchronization standard.

2.9.2 GPS Antenna Installation
The signals received from the GPS satellite network are at a frequency of
1575.42 MHz with a minimum power of -162 dBW. The GPS antenna must have
a clear view of the sky in order to receive the low power signals and track the
maximum number of satellites. Rooftops or other structures clear of obstructions
and with a clear view of the horizon are ideal.
Elements of a typical GPS antenna system:
Active GPS Antenna (required)

Installation
Lightning arrestor (optional)
Line Amplifier or Filter (optional)
To ensure correct GPS signal reception, the overall system of antenna, cabling,
lightning arrestor, line amplifier and filters requires a relative gain which should
be greater than 5 dBi but less than 18 dBi (to avoid signal saturation at the
receiver input).
2.9.2.1 GPS Antenna
There are two major types of GPS antenna: passive and active. A passive
antenna requires no power and is an option when signal strength is not a
concern. An active antenna has a built in Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) to increase
the strength of the signal, and to compensate for the signal loss in a long cable
connection. Active antennas are used when the antenna input is connected to
the receiver through a coaxial cable (usually longer than 3 m) or any high loss
transmission path.
The PTP Card requires an active antenna with the following specifications:
Characteristic Active Antenna
Polarization Right-Hand Circular Polarized
Receive Frequency 1.57542 GHz ± 1.023 MHz
Power Supply 5 VDC
DC Current < 10 mA at 3 VDC
Antenna Gain
Total Gain at PTP GPS Input (includes
antenna gain, cable loss, lightning
arrestor loss, line amplifier gain and filter
loss)
Axial Ratio < 3 dB
Output VSWR < 2.5
Table 13: GPS Antenna Specifications
Select antenna gain based on system
configuration
Total Gain ≤ 18 dBi
Notes:
The PTP card’s GPS input provides 5 VDC at up to 10 mA to power the
antenna.
Best results can be achieved with a total gain of 16 dB (includes antenna
gain, cable loss, lightning arrestor loss, line amplifier gain and filter loss) at
the antenna input.
2.9.2.2 Antenna Cabling
Cable Impedance:
RuggedCom recommends low loss 50 Ω coaxial cabling.

which degrades the accuracy of the calculated t
is dependent on the type of dielectric material in the cable and ranges from 1 to 2
ns/ft. RuggedCom provides a method to account for this delay through the web
management interface by entering the time delay into the cable compensation
box under PTP General Configuration The table below gives some examples of
the delay that can be expected based on the dielectric type.

Although it is not possible to protect the antenna from a direct lighting strike, the
antenna and connected components can be protected from secondary effects
through installation location and protection devices.
Install the antenna at least 15 meters away from and lower than any structures
that attract lightning. GPS antenna damage is usually not the result of a direct
lightning strike, but due to high currents induced by the effects of a lightning
strike on a nearby structure. RuggedCom also recommends installing lightning
arrestors in the antenna line to protect the receiver and connected devices. If a
lightning arrestor is installed, it is important to ensure that it has a low impedance
path to the ground.
2.9.2.4 Line Amplification and Filtering
Although an active antenna has gain, depending on the length of the coaxial
cable used it may not be enough in which case a line amplifier will be required as
well.
Most active antennas include filters; however, if there is a high potential for
electromagnetic interference, such as from the near field of a radio transmitter,
though the antenna system, additional antenna line filtering may be necessary.
2.9.3 IRIG-B Outputs
The PTP card provides IRIG-B outputs in both AM (Amplitude Modulated) and
PWM (Pulse Width Modulated) formats. The IRIG-B123 signal format is
supported on the AM OUT port, and the IRIG-B003 signal format is supported on
the TTL OUT port. Enabling and disabling the outputs, and selecting between
PWM and PPS on the TTL OUT port, is done through software.

The number of IRIG-B d
evices that can be connected to the AM or PWM sources
is dependent on the cabling type and length as well as the input impedances of
the devices. Figure 31 shows a simplified circuit diagram of the interface between

ource and connected devices.
