The general procedure for installing the device is as follows:
1. Review the relevant certification information for any regulatory requirements. For more information, refer to
Section6.1, “Approvals”.
2. Review the RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 Modules Catalog for special installation or regulatory requirements related
to the modules installed in the device. In the case of Precision Time Protocol (PTP) line modules, this includes
antenna installation and regulatory requirements.
3. Mount the device.
4. Connect the failsafe alarm relay.
5. Connect power to the device and ground the device to safety Earth.
6. Connect the device to the network.
7. Configure the device.
Section2.2
Required Tools and Materials
The following tools and materials are required to install the RUGGEDCOM RSG2488:
Tools/Materials Purpose
AC/DC power cord (16 AWG) For connecting power to the device.
Lightning protector For protecting the device from harmful electrical strikes.
Shielded coaxial cables For connecting the device to antennas and an Ethernet network.
Flathead screwdriver For mounting the device to a DIN rail.
Phillips screwdriver For mounting the device to a panel.
4 x #6-32 screws For mounting the device to a panel.
Braided or equivalent ground wire For grounding the device to safety Earth.
Section2.3
Cabling Recommendations
Siemens recommends using SIMATIC NET industrial Ethernet shielded cables for all Ethernet ports.
CONTENTS
• Section2.3.1, “Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports”
• Section2.3.2, “Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations”
6 General Procedure
RUGGEDCOM RSG2488
Installation Guide
Section2.3.1
Installing the Device
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.
Section2.3.2
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:
Chapter 2
Cabling Category
< 5 No New wiring infrastructure required.
5 Yes Verify TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
5e Yes No action required. New installations should be designed with Category 5e or higher.
6 Yes No action required.
> 6 Yes Connector and wiring standards to be determined.
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.
Section2.4
Mounting the Device
The RSG2488 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility. It can be ordered with adapters 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.
