Siemens delivers compact ethernet switch
The new switch, which has been developed for the transportation and oil and gas industries, is a rugged high capacity layer 2 switch in an extremely compact size.
With 20 gigabit ethernet ports, the Ruggedcom RSG920P is suitable for applications that require high bandwidths and is ready to accommodate future network expansions.
Four Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP) slots provide flexibility in uplink distances and bandwidth options with support for Gigabit as well as fast ethernet fibre SFPs.
The small size of the Ruggedcom RSG920P provides the capacity of a 19” switch, but allows deployment in space limited cabinets. It can also be mounted directly on a DIN-Rail. Storing application data, firmware and device configuration for commissioning and field maintenance is made simple with its Micro SD card slot.
With 4 Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) interfaces supplying up to 120 watt (30 watt per port) of power, the Ruggedcom RSG920P can accommodate various PoE devices such as pan–tilt–zoom (PTZ) cameras, intercom devices, wireless LAN access points and Bluetooth sensors.
The Ruggedcom RSG920P also has a companion power supply called the Ruggedcom RPS1300, which is capable of providing enough power for all 4 Power-over-Ethernet ports simultaneously, even when operating at 30 watt per port.
