Rugged Power-over-Ethernet switch for harsh environments
The RST2228P provides network communication, Power over Ethernet, and high-precision time synchronization (IEEE 1588) over a single network infrastructure. Users can reduce maintenance costs for wired time synchronization and power supply solutions that would otherwise require additional dedicated cabling. By using the Ruggedcom CLP removable media, the configuration of the defective device can be automatically transferred to the exchange device in the field in the event of a fault. The robust design of the device allows it to be used at an operating temperature of -40 to +85 degrees Celsius and offers high electromagnetic immunity. The product can be used in the harsh environmental conditions of power plants, in transportation and in the oil and gas industry and is particularly suitable for communication and processing of increasing amounts of data.
The Ruggedcom RST2228P is a rugged Layer 2 rack switch with four integrated 1/10 Gbps uplinks and up to 24 modular 10/100/1000 Mbps interfaces supporting IEEE 1588 Transparent Clock and Power over Ethernet according to IEEE 802.3bt (draft). The Ruggedcom RST2228P supports up to 24 Power-over-Ethernet devices with a combined power of 500 watts, at a maximum power of 60 watts per port.
The device can be ordered pre-configured to customer specifications with modules installed or simply retrofitted via separately orderable media modules in the field. This enables an easier migration from copper to fiber optic networks, one of the great challenges in digitization. Further savings are achieved by purchasing only as many modules for the RST2228P as are needed to meet immediate needs.
