RUGGEDCOM RS930L
Installation Guide
Introduction
The RUGGEDCOM RS930L is a six-port industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch supporting
Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL) allowing up to 5km LAN segments over telephone grade cable (or other legacy
serial cabling) at up to 35 Mbps. The RS930L allows for aggregation of Ethernet enabled devices at a remote
location back to the central control room with EoVDSL using existing telephone grade cable (or other legacy
serial cabling). The RS930L can be configured with dual EoVDSL interfaces and is ideal for ring or loop network
architecture and is the perfect solution for bringing Ethernet networking to applications where existing telephone
wiring is already present, thus saving the considerable cost of installing new network cabling.
Designed to operate reliably in harsh industrial environments the RS930L 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 hazardous location certification, optional conformal coating and a galvanized steel
enclosure allows the RS930L to be placed in almost any location.
The RS930L is packaged in a compact, galvanized steel enclosure that allows either DIN or panel mounting for
efficient use of cabinet space. The RS930L provides an integrated power supply with a wide range of voltages
(88-300 VDC or 85-264 VAC) for worldwide operability or dual-redundant, reversible polarity, 12 VDC, 24 VDC
and 48 VDC power supply inputs for high availability applications requiring dual or backup power inputs.
The RS930L's superior ruggedized design coupled with the embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS)
provides improved system reliability and advanced networking features making it ideally suited for creating
Ethernet networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
