The RUGGEDCOM RST2428P series stands out as a 28-port, field-modular 19-inch Layer 2 rack switch featuring 10 Gbps uplinks and compliance with PTP IEEE 1588v2. This switch not only supports layer 3 static unicast routing but also provides enhanced flexibility compared to standard Layer 2 switches, particularly tailored for modern digital substation networks.
Product Versions
RUGGEDCOM RST2428P
- A 28-port field-modular managed Layer 2 switch equipped with 4 x 10 Gbps uplinks and 4 x 10 Gbps SFP+ modules, supporting IEEE 1588v2 GMC and Power-over-Ethernet in accordance with IEEE 802.3at/bt.
Benefits
- Future-proof Ethernet switching platform: Boasts high port density to minimize capital expenses by reducing the number of devices on the network.
- Field-modular media modules: Offers RJ45, FastConnect, Power-over-Ethernet, SFP interfaces, and a build-to-order design, ensuring seamless servicing and remarkable flexibility in configuring the device. This results in lower operating expenses.
- Suitable for diverse applications: Designed for use in electric power, transportation, and oil & gas applications due to its utility-grade design with immunity against EMI and heavy electrical surges.
- Future-proof design: Supports modern IEEE 1588 time synchronization features and modular construction that accommodates network traffic growth by changing only the modules.
- Harsh environment suitability: Ideal for use in harsh environments with minimal risk of mechanical failures, thanks to fan-less operation across an operating temperature range from -40 to +85℃.
