Designed for sectors such as electric utilities, transportation, and oil & gas, it enables seamless data communication and precision time synchronization even under extreme environmental conditions.

What network management capabilities does the switch offer?

The RSG910C runs RUGGEDCOM ROS, Siemens’ proprietary operating system that offers Layer 2 switching, cybersecurity tools, SNMP monitoring, and web-based or CLI configuration.

What temperature range can the RSG910C safely operate within?

Engineered for harsh climates, the RSG910C supports an extended operating temperature range from -40 °C to +85 °C (-40 °F to +185 °F), ensuring performance in extreme heat or cold.

What types of Ethernet ports are available on the RSG910C?

The switch includes six 10/100/1000Base-TX RJ45 copper ports and four 1000Base-X SFP transceiver ports. The SFP slots support a variety of Siemens-compatible SFP modules, allowing flexible deployment based on bandwidth and fiber requirements.

Does the RSG910C support redundant power input configurations?

Yes. The RSG910C is equipped with dual power inputs to support both low-voltage (12, 24, or 48 VDC) and high-voltage (85–264 VAC or 88–300 VDC) sources, providing redundancy to ensure continuous uptime and eliminate single points of failure.

Is the RSG910C certified for use in hazardous or explosive environments?

Absolutely. The RSG910C is certified for operation in hazardous locations, including ATEX Zone 2 and Class I, Division 2 environments, making it suitable for deployment in oil & gas, chemical, and other high-risk industries.

What industries benefit most from deploying the RSG910C?

The RSG910C is ideal for industrial applications requiring secure, high-performance networking. It is especially well-suited for digital substations, SCADA systems, RTUs, intelligent transportation networks, and oil & gas automation.
