Introduction
1.4 Decommissioning and Disposal
1.4 Decommissioning and Disposal

Proper decommissioning and disposal of this device is important to prevent malicious
users from obtaining proprietary information and to protect the environment.
Decommissioning
This device may include sensitive, proprietary data. Before taking the device out of
service, either permanently or for maintenance by a third-party, make sure it has
been fully decommissioned.
For more information, refer to the associated Configuration Manual.
Recycling and Disposal

For environmentally friendly recycling and disposal of this device and related
accessories, contact a facility certified to dispose of waste electrical and electronic
equipment. Recycling and disposal must be done in accordance with local
regulations.
1.5 Cabling Recommendations

The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbps Ethernet
communications over distances of up to 100 m (328 ft) using all 4 pairs in category
5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring guidelines,
system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications Industry
Association (TIA) TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard that characterizes minimum cabling
performance specifications required for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation. For
reliable, error-free data communication, new and pre-existing communication paths
should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
The following table summarizes the relevant cabling standards:
Cabling 1000Base- Required Action
Category TX Compliant
<5 No New wiring infrastructure required.
5 Yes Verify TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
5e Yes No action required. New installations should be designed with
Category 5e or higher.
6 Yes No action required.
>6 Yes Connector and wiring standards to be determined.
Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise
environments:
• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, preferably 3 m (10
ft) in length. Copper data cables should not be used for inter-building
communications.
4 RUGGEDCOM RSG920P
Introduction
• Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and
should be installed in separate conduits. Power and data cables should intersect
at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.
• Shielded/screened cabling can be used when required. Care should be taken to
avoid the creation of ground loops with shielded cabling.

C US
Figure 2.1 Compliance Label (Example)
2.4 Mounting the Device

The RUGGEDCOM RSG920P is designed for maximum mounting and display
flexibility. It can be equipped with connectors that allow it to be installed in a 35 mm
(1.4 in) DIN rail or directly on a panel.
NOTICE
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a
reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted in the rack space.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed,
refer to "Dimension Drawings (Page 35)".
10 RUGGEDCOM RSG920P
2.4.1 Mounting the Device on a DIN Rail

The RUGGEDCOM RSG920P can be ordered with a DIN rail adapter preinstalled on the
back of the chassis. Use the adapter to mount the device to a standard 35 mm (1.4
in)IEC/EN 60715 or TS35 DIN rail.
Mounting the Device

To mount the device to a DIN rail, do the following:
1. Secure the DIN rail bracket to back of the device chassis.

2.5 Grounding the Device
2.5 Grounding the Device

The RUGGEDCOM RSG920P chassis features a threaded hole for connecting the
device to ground (Protective Earth). It is recommended to terminate the ground
connection with an #8 ring tongue or spade lug, and then torque to 1.2 N·m (11 lbf-
in).

Figure 2.7 Chassis Ground Connection
2.6 Connecting the Failsafe Alarm Relay

The failsafe alarm relay can be configured to latch based on alarm conditions. The
NO (Normally Open) contact is closed when the unit is powered and there are no
active alarms. If the device is not powered or if an active alarm is configured, the
relay opens the NO contact and closes the NC (Normally Closed) contact.
Note
Control of the failsafe alarm relay output is configurable through RUGGEDCOM
RSG920P . One common application for this relay is to signal an alarm if a power
failure occurs. For more information, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS Configuration
Manual for the RUGGEDCOM RSG920P.
The following shows the proper relay connections.

2.7 Connecting the Digital Inputs

The RUGGEDCOM RSG920P offers two independent digital inputs for monitoring
external equipment. Each digital input is associated with an alarm that is configured
in RUGGEDCOM RSG920P. Depending on the configuration, the associated alarm
may be triggered if the digital input is in either the HIGH or LOW state.
Each input operates in one of two modes:
• Passive Mode
Supports the use of passive switches, such as a cabinet door switch, relay or a

Console ports are intended to be used only as a temporary connection during initial
configuration or troubleshooting.
Note
When the USB Type-B console port is in use, the RJ45 console port will echo the
console output but not accept any user input.
Note
For Microsoft Windows users, the RUGGEDCOM USB Serial Console driver must be
installed on the users workstation before connecting via the USB Type-B console port.
For more information, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS Configuration Manual for the

If shielded cables are used, make sure the shielded cables do not form a ground loop
via the shield wire and the RJ45 receptacles at either end. Ground loops can cause
excessive noise and interference, but more importantly, create a potential shock
hazard that can result in serious injury.

802.3at standard.
The total allowable power budget for all ports is 120 W. If the external power supply
is less than 120 W, to prevent exceeding the power budget, port priorities can be
set via the RUGGEDCOM ROS operating system to disable low priority ports when
demand is too high. Ports can also be enabled/disabled and placed on a power
schedule to conserve power. For more information, refer to the RUGGEDCOM ROS
Configuration Manual for the RUGGEDCOM RSG920P.

Note
The RUGGEDCOM RSG920P meets Class 2 requirements for an all-fiber
configuration and Class 1 requirements for copper ports. Class 1 allows for
temporary communication loss, while Class 2 requires error-free and interrupted
communications.
