Copper Ethernet Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RS910 supports multiple 10/100Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to standard
Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ-45 male connectors. The RJ-45 receptacles are
directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-pair (STP) cables.
