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.
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:

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.
Section2.4
Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be equipped with
connectors that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19 in) rack, 35 mm (1.4 in) DIN rail, or directly on a panel.
IMPORTANT!
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it is recommended
that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the device to allow for some
convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a reduction of ambient
temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment mounted in the rack space.
NOTE
For detailed dimensions of the device with either rack, DIN rail or panel hardware installed, refer to
Chapter5, Dimension Drawings.

• When installing the device in a closed or multi-device rack, be aware the operating ambient
temperature of the rack may be higher than the ambient temperature of the room. Make sure the
rack is installed in a suitable environment that can withstand the maximum ambient temperature
generated by the rack.
• Make sure each device in the rack is separated by at least one rack-unit of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in),
to promote convectional airflow. Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will
result in a reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all equipment
mounted in the rack space.
• Do not exceed the maximum number of devices or weight restrictions specified by the rack
manufacturer.
• Do not overload the supply circuit. Refer to the over-current protection and power supply ratings
specified by the rack manufacturer.

Copper Ethernet Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P supports several 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to
standard Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with either RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45
connectors are directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair
(STP) cables.
WARNING!
Electric shock hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or equipment interference. If shielded
cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop via the shield wire and the
RJ45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause excessive noise and interference, but more
importantly, create a potential shock hazard that can result in serious injury.

PoE Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P comes standard with two 10/100Base-TX Power over Ethernet (POE) ports powered
by an external power supply. Each port complies with the IEEE 802.3af standard and features auto-sensing and
automatic power off when cables are removed.
PoE ports are located in slots 1 and 2.
The total allowable power budget for all ports is 60 W. If the external power supply is less than 75 W, to prevent
exceeding the power budget, port priorities can be set via the RUGGEDCOM ROS operating system to disable low
priority ports when demand is too high. Ports can also be enabled/disabled and placed on a power schedule to
conserve power. For more information, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS User Guide for the RUGGEDCOM RSG2300P.
For information about connecting the external power supply, refer to Section2.6.2, “Connecting External PoE
Power”.
