Functional Overview
The RUGGEDCOM RX1512 is a cost-efficient, rugged layer 3 switch and router. The RX1512’s modular and field
replaceable platform allows you to select WAN, serial, and Ethernet options, making it ideally suited for electric
power utilities, the industrial plant floor, and traffic control systems. The appliance’s compact form factor makes it
ideal for pole mount applications or installation in restricted spaces.
The RX1512 is designed to the RuggedRated™ specification, providing a high level of immunity to
electromagnetic interference (EMI) and heavy electrical surges typical of the harsh environments found in many
industrial applications. An operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C (-40°F to +185°F) allows the RX1512 to
be placed in almost any location.
