1. Product Overview
1.1. Functional Overview
The RuggedSwitch® RSG2288 is a rugged, fully managed, modular Ethernet switch specifically
designed to operate reliably in electrically harsh and climatically demanding utility substation,
railway and industrial environments. The RSG2288 includes the IEEE 1588 v2 protocol with
hardware time stamping, allowing high precision time synchronization over the Ethernet network
with accuracies of 1
µ
s or better. The RSG2288’s superior rugged hardware design coupled
with the embedded Rugged Operating System (ROS™) provides improved system reliability and
advanced cyber security and networking features, making it ideally suited for creating Ethernet
networks for mission-critical, real-time, control applications.
The RSG2288’s modular flexibility offers 100/1000BaseX fiber and 10/100/1000BaseTX copper
port combinations. Support for front or rear mount connectors coupled with support for multiple
fiber connector types (SFP, GBIC, LC, SC) without loss of port density makes the RSG2288 highly
versatile and suitable for any application. The RSG2288 is packaged in a rugged, galvanized steel
enclosure with industrial grade DIN, panel, or 19" rack-mount mounting options.
