Functional Overview
The RuggedBackbone™ RX5000 is a high-port density routing and switching platform, designed to operate in
harsh environments. The RX5000 can withstand high levels of electromagnetic interference, radio frequency
interference, and a wide temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The RX5000 is designed to meet the challenging
climatic and environmental demands found in utility, industrial, and military network applications.
The RX5000’s superior hardware design, coupled with the embedded ROX operating system, provides improved
system reliability for the most demanding network applications. The cyber security and networking features make
it ideally suited for creating secure Ethernet networks for mission critical, real-time, control applications.
The RX5000 is a scalable, modular platform providing the the ability to change the RuggedBackbone™ as the
network grows and needs change.
The RuggedEnclosure™ is rated for IP65 ingress protection, meaning that it is dust tight and can withstand water
from a nozzle in any direction. Constructed with aluminum extrusions with fins on both sides and combined with
high reliability internal circulation fans, the enclosure optimizes heat transfer without the exchange of outside air
and improves the MTBF for the enclosed electronics.
