Siemens Ruggedcom RST2228 Powerful High-Port Density Ethernet Switches

The RUGGEDCOM RST2228 is a field modular 19? Layer 2 rack switch with 10 Gbit/s uplinks, support for IEEE 1588 and optional Power-over-Ethernet an ideal solution for high port density applications in the electric power, intelligent traffic systems, rail, oil&gas and other industrial communications markets.

The front loading, field replaceable module design enhances the maintainability and upgradability of the switch as it allows modules to be changed without removing the chassis from the rack. This unique design also provides future proofing of the product as it can be deployed with Gigabit uplink SFPs and 100 Mbps LAN ports initially and then upgraded to 10 gigabit uplinks and Gigabit LAN ports as data communication needs increase.

Ethernet Ports

• 4 x 1000BASE-X/10GBASE-X ports
