Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS900GF is an industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch providing dual fiber optical
Gigabit Ethernet ports and eight Fast Ethernet copper ports.
Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments, the RUGGEDCOM RS900GF provides a high level
of immunity to electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges typical of environments found in electric
utility substations, factory floors or in curb side traffic control cabinets. An operating temperature range of -40 to
85 °C (-40 to 185 °F) coupled with optional conformal coating and a powder coated aluminum enclosure allows
the RUGGEDCOM RS900GF to be placed in almost any location.
The embedded RUGGEDCOM ROS (Rugged Operating System) provides advanced networking features such as
Enhanced Rapid Spanning Tree (eRSTP), Port Rate Limiting and a full array of intelligent functionality for high
network availability and manageability.
