Introduction
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE is a MIL-STD, high-port density routing and switching platform,
designed to operate in the most demanding environments.The RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE can withstand high levels
of electromagnetic interference, radio frequency interference, and a wide temperature range of -40 to 85 °C (-40
to 185 °F). The RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE is designed to meet the challenging climatic and environmental demands
found in utility, industrial, and military network applications.
The RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE's superior hardware design, coupled with the embedded RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE
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 RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE is a scalable, modular platform providing the ability to change the configuration as
the network grows and needs change.
The enclosure is a tough, welded aluminum, hard-mount enclosure built to house Siemens networking products
and provide MIL-STD ratings for shock, vibration, emissions, immunity, temperature, and humidity. Ten external
patch panels with up to 64 MIL grade round connectors provide tremendous flexibility and allow the enclosure to
be employed in many diverse applications. A variety of patch panel cable assemblies allow convenient and simple
mapping from internal electronics to the outside world.
The enclosure 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.
The RUGGEDCOM MX5000 installed with the enclosure provides an extremely flexible package with MIL-STD
approvals, continuing Siemens's tradition of pioneering advanced networking solutions specifically for the harsh
environments found in military applications.
This section provides more information about the RUGGEDCOM MX5000RE.

Cabling Recommendations
Before connecting the device, be aware of the recommendations and considerations outlined in this section.
CONTENTS
• Section1.4.1, “Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports”
• Section1.4.2, “Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations”
• Section1.4.3, “Supported Fiber Optic Cables”
Chapter 1
Introduction
Section1.4.1
Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports
All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against
damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards. This means
that during a transient electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is
automatic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with devices in the field across
distances that could produce high levels of ground potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground
fault conditions.
Section1.4.2
Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet communications over distances of up
to 100 m (328 ft) using all 4 pairs in 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. For reliable, error-free data communication, new and pre-existing communication
paths should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
The following table summarizes the relevant cabling standards:

6 Yes No action required.

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, preferably 3 m (10 ft) 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.
• Shielded/screened cabling can be used when required. Care should be taken to avoid the creation of ground
loops with shielded cabling.
