RUGGEDCOM RMC40

Installation Guide

Introduction

The RUGGEDCOM RMC40 is a 4-port, unmanaged Ethernet switch that provides both copper-to-fiber media
conversion as well as 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps speed conversion. Specifically designed to operate reliably in
electrically and climatically harsh environments, it is well suited for use in mission critical Ethernet networking
applications.

The RUGGEDCOM RMC40 is packaged in a compact, galvanized steel enclosure that allows either DIN or panel
mounting for efficient use of cabinet space. It has an integrated power supply with a wide range of voltages for
worldwide operability. An operating temperature range of -40 to 85°C (-40 to 185°F) without the use of internal
cooling fans allows it to be placed in almost any location. The RUGGEDCOM RMC40 is compliant with EMI and
environmental standards for utility substations, industrial manufacturing, process and control and intelligent
transportation systems applications.

The versatility and wide selection of fiber optics allows the RUGGEDCOM RMC40 to be used in a variety of
applications. It can be used in place of traditional copper-to-fiber media converters with the added ability to
convert speed from 10Mbps to 100Mbps. With dual fiber optics, daisy chaining of Ethernet enabled devices can
easily be accomplished. For the most demanding of systems, a dual-redundant fiber optic connection can be
created for a device that only offers a single 10/100Base-TX port.
