NOTE
Due to the heat dissipated in the RX1501 chassis, it is recommended that 1 unit of rack space (1U
or 1.75") be left unpopulated and free of equipment above each RX1501 unit to allow for convection
airflow. Although forced airflow is not necessary, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of
ambient temperature and will improve long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack.

Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations
RuggedBackbone™ RX1501
Installation Guide
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet communications over distances of up
to 100 meters using 4 pairs of CAT-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-568A wiring standard for minimum cabling performance specifications required for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation.
To ensure reliable, error-free data communications, new and pre-existing communication paths should be verified
for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance. The table: Cabling Categories and 1000Base-TX Compliance summarizes the
relevant cabling standards as they apply to 100Base-TX connections.
Table 7: Cabling Categories and 1000Base-TX Compliance
Cabling Category 1000Base-
TX Compliant
< 5 No New wiring infrastructure required.
5 Yes Verify TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
5e Yes No action required. New installations should be designed with Category 5e or higher.
6 Yes No action required.
> 6 Yes Connector and wiring standards to be determined.
Required Action
Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise environments:
• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, ideally limited to 10' (3 m) 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 should be installed in separate
conduits. Power and data cables should intersect at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.
• Optionally, shielded/screened cabling can be used. The cable shield should be grounded at one single point to
avoid the generation of ground loops.

Recommendations
RuggedBackbone™ RX1501
Installation Guide
Section 3.7.4
Transient Suppression
All copper Ethernet ports on RuggedCom products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against
damage from electrical transients and to ensure conformance to IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1. This
means that during a transient electrical event, it is possible for communications errors or interruptions to occur,
but recovery is automatic.
NOTE
RuggedCom does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time,
substation automation applications.
RuggedCom also recommends against the use of copper Ethernet connections to interface to devices in the field
across distances which could produce high levels of ground potential rise (that is, greater than 2500V), during
line-to-ground fault conditions.
Section 3.8
Serial Ports: RJ45
Chapter 3
Installation
The RX1501 supports serial port line modules with RJ45 connections. On power-up, all serial ports default to
RS485 mode. Each port can be individually set to RS232, RS485, or RS422 mode via software.

NOTE
Pin 2 is reserved for future IRIG-B output. Do not connect Pin 2 at this time; doing so may cause
hardware damage. Pins 7 and 8 are connected internally. No internal termination is provided. In RS232
mode, these pins enter a high impedance state. A DTE that asserts RTS will see CTS asserted, but
hardware flow control is not performed on the port.

SFP Optics – Installation, removal, and precautions
The RX1501 can be ordered with SFP (Small Form-factor Pluggable) pluggable optics modules. SFP modules
can be safely inserted and removed while the chassis is powered and operating. When inserting or removing
optics, observe the following precautions:
• Ensure that dust caps are mounted on SFP cages at all times, unless you are in the process of inserting or
removing an SFP module. The dust caps prevent the accumulation of residue or particles that might inhibit
proper operation.
• Ensure that you have properly discharged any possible electrostatic build-up to prevent electrostatic
discharges (ESD). This can be accomplished by proper grounding through an ESD wrist strap, or by touching
earth or chassis ground before installing or removing optical modules. ESD can damage or shorten the life of
optical modules when they are not plugged into a chassis.
• Ensure that SFP optical modules are always stored in an ESD-safe bag or other suitable ESD-safe
environment. Keep SFP modules free from moisture and store them at the proper temperature (-40°C to
+85°C).
• Disconnect all cables from the SFP module before inserting or removing the module.
• Use only components certified by RuggedCom Inc. with RuggedCom products. Damage can occur to optics
and product if compatibility and reliability have not been properly assessed.
Section 3.11.1
Module Insertion – SFP
Special attention must be paid to the orientation of SFP modules upon installation in the RX1501 chassis. The
figure below shows the proper orientation of SFP modules installed in both upper and lower line modules. SFP
modules on the upper row must be inserted top-side up. SFP modules on the lower row must be inserted top-side
down. SFP modules should be inserted with the bail-latch in the locked position.

Figure 56: SFP module insertion
SFP modules should slide gently 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.
Section 3.11.2
SFP Module Removal
To remove the SFP module, disconnect any cables and replace the dust cover to protect the optics. Extend the
bail latch found on the top of the module. Grasp the bail latch and gently pull outwards to unlock and remove the
module.
Immediately after removal, store the SFP module in an ESD-safe environment.
