Product Overview
Product Overview
Section 1.1
Functional Overview
The RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 is a high-port density routing and switching platform, designed to operate in
harsh environments. The RX5000 can withstand high levels of electromagnetic interference, radio frequency
interference, and a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The RX5000 is designed to meet the challenging
climatic and environmental demands found in utility, industrial, and military network applications.
The RX5000’s superior hardware design, coupled with the embedded ROX operating system, provides improved
system reliability for the most demanding network applications. The cyber security and networking features make
it ideally suited for creating secure Ethernet networks for mission critical, real-time, control applications.
The RX5000 is a scalable, modular platform providing the the ability to change the RuggedBackbone™ as the
network grows and needs change.
The RuggedEnclosure™ is rated for IP65 ingress protection, meaning that it is dust tight and can withstand water
from a nozzle in any direction. Constructed with aluminum extrusions with fins on both sides and combined with
high reliability internal circulation fans, the enclosure optimizes heat transfer without the exchange of outside air
and improves the MTBF for the enclosed electronics.

Installation Guide
Installing A Module In The Chassis
To install a module in the the RuggedBackbone™ chassis, align the module guide ribs with the channels on the
chassis and push the module in as far as it will go. There is a detent position that must be pushed through to
properly seat the connectors; this is the added resistance from the grounding springs. When properly seated, the
module flange will rest on the main chassis frame. Tighten the thumbscrews using finger strength only.
NOTE
Serial line modules are hot-swappable, meaning they can be removed and installed while the device is
running.
When installing a serial line module while the device is running, make sure internal VLANs are
enabled. For more information about configuring VLANs, refer to the ROX User Guide for the RX5000.
Section 2.2
Control Module
The Control Module (CM) is the central processing unit of the RuggedBackbone™ chassis. The ROX operating
system running on the CM controls and coordinates the functions of all modules installed in the system. The
Control Module is installed in the CM slot of the chassis, as shown in Figure 1, “Chassis Slot Assignment”.

Installation Guide
Each RX5000 Power Module is equipped with a Phillips screw terminal block (Figure 20) for main power
connection. The Phillips Screw Terminal Block has Phillips screws with compression plates, allowing either bare
wire connections or crimped terminal lugs. We recommend the use of #6 size ring lugs to ensure secure, reliable
connections under severe shock or vibration. The terminal block has a safety cover which must be removed
via two Phillips screws before connecting any wires. The safety cover must be reattached after wiring to ensure
personnel safety.
CAUTION!
A permanently connected RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 must have a readily accessible disconnect
device incorporated external to the equipment.
WARNING!
The RX5000 may have two (2) power supplies installed and be supplied from multiple power sources.
Service personnel must isolate both power supplies prior to servicing.

Critical Alarm Relay
The Critical Alarm output relay signals critical error conditions that may occur on the RuggedBackbone™

condition is detected. Relay connections are shown in the Critical Alarm Relay Connection diagram. Control of
the relay output can be configured via the ROX user interface.
A common application for this output is to signal an alarm in case of a power failure.

Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations
Chapter 3
Installation
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 6, “Cabling Categories And
1000Base-TX Compliance” summarizes the relevant cabling standards as they apply to 100Base-TX
connections.
Table 6: Cabling Categories And 1000Base-TX Compliance
Cabling Category
< 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.
1000Base-
TX Compliant
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 3m (10') 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. When necessary, power and data cables should intersect at a 90° angle 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.

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 3.6
Fiber Ethernet Ports
Depending on the product order code, the RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 can be equipped with LMs and SMs with
several different types of fiber optic ports. The Transmit (TX) and Receive (RX) connections of each port must be
properly connected and matched for proper link establishment and operation. The following figures show the front
and top views of each supported fiber optic connector type to assist in identifying the proper cable connection
orientation.

Fiber Ethernet Port Specifications
The following sections detail fiber optic specifications of ports that can be ordered with the modules on a
RuggedBackbone™ RX5000. The user determines the type of optics at time of ordering, and can determine the
modules installed on a particular unit by reading the factory data file via the ROX user interface. Section 4.4.1,
“Fast Ethernet (100Mbps) Optical Specifications” and Section 4.4.2, “Gigabit Ethernet (1Gbps) Optical
Specifications” list the specifications of the optical transceivers used in the fiber Ethernet modules available for
the RX5000. The specifications are organized by signaling speed and then by order code. Module order codes
are contained within each unit when it is assembled and configured at the factory. Consult the RuggedCom ROX
User Guide for help in obtaining the factory configuration data.
