RUGGEDCOM RS layer 2 compact industrial ethernet switches

Why RUGGEDCOM RS Series compact switches?

The RUGGEDCOM RS Series portfolio includes the RUGGEDCOM RS900, RS8000 and i800 series of compact and rugged switches. They are designed and certified for use in harsh industrial environments to provide reliable and secure networking capabilities.

Extreme reliability: Substation‑hardened for −40 to +85 °C, high EMI, and shock
Flexible connectivity: Fast or Gigabit Ethernet, fiber uplinks, PoE variants
Easy integration: DIN‑rail mounting and universal AC/DC power
Secure networking: ROS with VLAN, RADIUS, SSH/SSL, SNMPv3
Resilient design: PRP/HSR support for zero‑second failover
Durable, scalable, and secure—ideal for demanding OT networks

Several RUGGEDCOM RS900 compact switches are laying on a cart with loopback cables, they are ready to undergo HALT and HASS testing to ensure reliability under harsh conditions.
