Every networking and communications product that RuggedCom produces is RuggedRated. The RuggedRated certification indicates
that the device has been specifically designed to withstand the demands of harsh industrial environments. In order to qualify for this rating, a product must have the following characteristics:
Rated for reliable operation in harsh electrical environments:
IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 (Electric power substations)
IEC 61000-6-2 and IEC 61800-3 (Industrial Environments)
NEMA TS 2 (Traffic Control Equipment)
Rated for error free operation in high EMI environments:
Zero-Packet-Loss™ Technology for fiber-based networking devices
IEEE 1613 Class 2 error free performance under EMI stress for fiber-based networking devices
Fiber optical ports supporting both short and long haul fiber
Rated for operation over a wide temperature range:
-40°C to 85°C (+185°F)
Passive cooling – no fans.
CSA/UL 60950 safety approved to +85°C (+185°F)
Rated for high availability:
Integrated single or dual redundant power supplies
Dual power supplies can be powered independently, from different input voltages
Rated for industrial installations:
18 gauge galvanized steel enclosure for durability and impact protection
Heavy duty steel DIN rail mount or 19” rack mount
Industrial terminal blocks for power and I/O connections
RuggedCom Gets RuggedRated
In addition to designing all RuggedCom products to meet the demands of RuggedRated certification, every product is thoroughly tested for performance prior to shipment to our customers. This includes:
A Dielectric Voltage Withstands test on all power ports and signal ports in accordance with IEC 60255-5, UL 508 and CSA C22.2
A High Voltage Impulse test of 5kV on all power ports and signal ports in accordance with IEC 60255-5 and IEEE C37.90
A 24 hour burn-in test period during which the following occurs:
The product is placed in an environmental test chamber and temperature is cycled between –40 and +85°C
(+185°F) ensuring reliability in extreme winter and summer temperatures.
Built-in self-test features are activated which test all of the product’s key features (e.g. communications rate and throughput) at their maximum capability
A final operational test using industry standard network simulation and test equipment to test the following:
Throughput
Latency
Frame/Packet loss
All RuggedCom products are backed with a standard 5 year warranty.
