Introduction Introduction The RUGGEDCOM RS930L is a six-port industrially hardened, fully managed Ethernet switch supporting Ethernet over VDSL (EoVDSL) allowing up to 5km LAN segments over telephone grade cable (or other legacy serial cabling) at up to 35 Mbps. The RS930L allows for aggregation of Ethernet enabled devices at a remote location back to the central control room with EoVDSL using existing telephone grade cable (or other legacy serial cabling).
Chapter 1 RUGGEDCOM RS930L Introduction Installation Guide Ethernet Over VDSL (EoVDSL) • Up to 5 km (3 mi) LAN segments • Symmetric data rates up to 35 Mbps • Asymmetric data rates up to 40 Mbps • Automatically selects fastest data rate based on distance and quality of cable •...

Section 2.5 Cabling Recommendations Siemens does not recommend the use of copper cabling of any length for critical, real-time substation automation applications. All copper Ethernet ports on RUGGEDCOM products include transient suppression circuitry to protect against damage from electrical transients and conform with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 Class 1 standards.
RUGGEDCOM RS930L Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports Communication Ports The RS930L can be equipped with various types of communication ports to enhance its abilities and performance. To determine which ports are equipped on the device, refer to the factory data file available through ROS .
Communication Ports Installation Guide Siemens offers two flavors of VDSL: Universal EoVDSL and Long-Reach EoVDSL. Universal EoVDSL ports are Master/Slave selectable and offer symmetric data rates up to 35 Mbps with distances up to 2.5 km (1.6 mi). Long- Reach EoVDSL ports are fixed as either Master or Slave but offer asymmetric data rates up to 40 Mbps with distances up to 5 km (3.1 mi).
RUGGEDCOM RS930L Chapter 3 Installation Guide Communication Ports • Twisted-pairs are an effective way of reducing both magnetic and capacitive interference because they reduce the magnetic loop area to nearly zero and maintain a consistent distribution of capacitances to both ground and other sources.
