temperature of -35°C to +75°C and meet the toughest industrial and military environments
such as MIL-STD-810F, MIL-STD-1275B, MIL-STD-461E up to the highest levels. The
mentioned ability turns the RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS to the optimal solutions switch of
choice for harsh environments constrained by space.
Developed for military and harsh mobile applications, the RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS features
mechanical packaging enhancements designed for MIL-STD-810F airborne and ground
environmental compliance and high reliability. The unit has been especially hardened to
improve ingress, impact, and shock/vibration protection, as well as eliminate all moving
parts through passive cooling, and interface through sealed MIL-DTL-38999 RJFTV
reinforced circular connectors.
Leveraging best-in-class switching technology, the RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS serves as a
robust solution for providing local area network (LAN) connectivity to IP-enabled
computing and net-centric devices. Compact in size, the RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS is
particularly useful for expanding port density to tactical IP routers in space-constrained
airborne and ground vehicle environments.
RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS is specifically designed for Data Acquisition & Transmission,
Battlefield Communication C4ISR, Rugged Networks, Mobile Communications, Combat
vehicles and Avionic & Shipboard Systems.
From 2022, the RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS is using eCos 3.0 operating system and CE
Services software.

Section 2 Hardware
Overview
The switches can be mounted directly to a flat surface or to a wall. Refer to the mechanical
drawing below. Its high protected enclosure makes it able to withstand immersion (IP67/68
rating).
The Ethernet connections come out from rugged MIL-DTL-38999 RJFTV connectors.
Front Panel
Display
The following describes the front panel, and LED indicators of the RJSMLAC-8MG-
CAPS.
LED Indicators
The Single LED indicator on the front panel labelled PWR shows the operative status of
the switch.
Once the switch is powered, the LED PWR is turned on.
This LED will be on solid green when proper power has been applied to the unit.
Each port has 2 LEDs indication:
•Link / Activity (Off – there is no link, Steady Green – There is a device connected,
Flashing Green – there is data transmission)
•

Section 3 Installation
Selecting a
Site
As with any electronic device, you should place the switch where it will not be subject to
extreme temperatures, humidity, or electromagnetic interference that exceeds the
RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS
‘s profile. Specifically, the site you select should meet the following
requirements:
•The ambient temperature should be between -35 to 75 degrees Celsius.
•The relative humidity is recommended to be less than 95% percent, non-
condensing.
•Surrounding electrical devices should not exceed the electromagnetic field (RFC)
standards for MIL-STD-461E.
CAPS for
unused
connectors
The switches are pre-equipped with caps on all ports, including power and Ethernet.
Make sure all connectors are protected with cap or sealed plug to ensure sealing
and prevent from deterioration of the contacts.
Mounting
The RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS Ethernet Switch can be fastened to any flat surface by
mounting the box directly. Refer to the mechanical drawings below. Make sure to allow
enough room to route your Ethernet and power cables.
The RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS weights 1.8 Kg and is mounted via its four 4x4.5 mm holes for
screws.
The external dimensions of the RJSMLAC-8MG-CAPS are given here after.

Section 4 Wiring
Overview
These switches provide connections to Ethernet devices in harsh environment. Typically,
a port is used to connect to another Ethernet switch that is connected to the main Ethernet
backbone. The other Ethernet ports are then connected to Ethernet devices such as
communication systems, Ethernet I/O, or industrial computers. Electrical isolation is
provided on the Ethernet ports for increased reliability.
Please follow normal Ethernet wiring practices when installing these switches.
Power wiring
The switches should be powered using mating plugs and backshells compliant with MIL-
DTL-38999 series III. We suggest using hereunder accessories. Another backshell can be
used but it must ensure a correct sealing protection.
Power plug

Ethernet
wiring
These switches provide connections to Ethernet devices on the battlefield. Typically a
port is used to connect to another Ethernet switch or hub that is connected to the main
Ethernet backbone. The other Ethernet ports are then connected to Ethernet devices such
as communication systems, Ethernet I/O, or industrial computers. Electrical isolation is
provided on the Ethernet ports for increased reliability.
Please follow normal Ethernet wiring practices when installing these switches.
Use data-quality (not voice-quality) twisted pair cable rated category 5E (or better) with
standard RJ45 connectors. You can use all standard existing RJ45 Cat5E cordset and
transform it into an environmental connector, without any cabling operation, and without
any tool!
Ethernet plug
part number
The IP68 rated RJ45 plug is field installable and does not
require any special tools. It can be installed over any standard
Ethernet patch cable (though you may have to remove the
latch cover if it has an over-molded boot). Refer to the
diagrams for mechanical and assembly details.
Part number of the plug to be used: RJF TV 6 M G. This plug
may be assembled with 4 different coding. Use the coding A
to make your assembly. For more details, please consult:
