Communication Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RS900G features eight standard 10/100Base-TX or 100/1000Base-TX copper RJ-45
Ethernet ports. It can also be equipped with two additional Gigabit Ethernet capable ports, for which many fiber
transceiver and copper options are available.
Each communication port type has a specific place in the RUGGEDCOM RS900G chassis.
