Features and benefits
RUGGEDCOM Ethernet switches are specifically designed to operate reliably in harsh
industrial environments. All RUGGEDCOM switches meet and exceed the requirements of
recognized (Electric power) industry standards, especially IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613, and
NEMA TS 2 (ITS) for ruggedness and reliable communications performance. They are
ideal for mission-critical control applications requiring superior reliability and availability
of network devices.
