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. The table: Cabling Categories And 1000Base-TX Compliance
summarizes the relevant cabling standards as they apply to 100Base-TX connections.
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.
Table 3.5. Cabling Categories And 1000Base-TX Compliance
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.
1000Base-
TX Compliant
Required Action
• 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.
RuggedCom® RuggedBackbone™ 27 RX5000 Installation Guide Rev106
3. Installation
• Shielded/screened cabling can optionally be used. The cable shield should be grounded at one
single point to avoid the generation of ground loops.
3.5.3. 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.
RuggedCom does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, realtime, 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, i.e. greater than
2500V, during line-to-ground fault conditions.
3.6. Fiber Ethernet Ports
Depending on the order code of the product, 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 drawings in the following figures show a side and top view of each supported fiber
optic connector type to assist in identifying the proper cable connection orientation.

4.4. 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.
