RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 - Substation Hardened IEC61850-3/IEEE-1613 Industrial Ethernet Switch

Source: Xceltra
22 April, 2016
The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 is the first utility grade,field upgradable, non blocking 28 Gigabit port layer 2 switch with hot-swappable dual redundant power supplies.The RSG2488 is designed to cut sparing costs and minimize time-to-repair while eliminating routine maintenance and separate timing cabling,delivering increased network availability and lowest total cost of ownership.

The RSG2488’s modular flexibility provides up to 28 non-blocking ports that can be configured as 10/100/1000TX copper, 100FX or 1000SX fiber. With its 1U form factor and vertical loading design, the RSG2488 provides users with the flexibility and field maintenance simplicity needed to efficiently implement, maintain and evolve a broadband local area network.

Precision timing

RSG2488 can operate as an IEEE 1588 transparent clock, ordinary clock, master clock and supports both 1-step and 2-step operations. The available PTP module also allows the RSG2488 to get timing information from GPS and serve as a grandmaster clock for downstream time recipients.

Timing conversion

The RSG2488 supports IEEE 1588 (PTP), SNTP, IRIG-B and GPS. It can convert time between all of these formats.
