RLH 5 Port SlimLine DIN Mount Ethernet Switch
RLH 5 Port
Hardened Ethernet Switch
SLIMLINE DIN MOUNT
Introduction
The RLH 5 Port SlimLine Ethernet switch is a hardened,
DIN mountable switch that supports 10/100M Ethernet.
The switch is housed in a rugged aluminum alloy
enclosure that requires only 32mm of rack space. The
RLH 5 port Ethernet switch is an ideal solution for
industrial Ethernet applications that require temperature
hardened durability. It features convenient port status
LEDs, auto negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X.
Key Features
• Ideal for critical, high voltage, remote, or un-manned
locations that must remain operating 24/7/365
• IEEE 802.3 10Base-T UTP and 100Base-TX
• RJ45 UTP ports with 10/100M auto-negotiation
• MDI-II/MDI-X auto detection
• Convenient port status LED indicators
• Environmentally hardened to operate in -40˚F to +185˚F
(-40˚C to +85˚C) environments
• Uses a local 12~36VDC power source
• Standard 35mm DIN rail mount
• Covered by our Exclusive Unconditional Lifetime Warranty
The leader in
rugged fiber optic
technology.

USER GUIDE
RLH Industries, Inc.

General Safety Practices
Intended Audience
This guide is intended for use by knowledgeable telco/network installation, operation and repair
personnel. Every effort has been made to ensure the accuracy of the information in this guide is accurate.
However, due to constant product improvement, specifications and information contained in this
document are subject to change without notice.
Conventions
Symbols for notes, attention, and caution are used throughout this manual to provide readers with
additional information, advice when special attention is needed, and caution to prevent injury or
equipment damage.
The equipment discussed in this document may require tools designed for the purpose being described.
RLH recommends that service personnel be familiar with the correct handling and use of any installation
equipment used, and follow all safety precautions including the use of protective personal equipment as
required.
Caution - Severe Shock Hazard
• Never install during a lightning storm or where unsafe high voltages are present.
• Copper network wires may carry high DC voltages. Use caution when handling copper wiring.
Warning
The intra-building port(s) of the equipment or subassembly is suitable for connection to intrabuilding or
unexposed wiring or cabling only. The intra-building port(s) of the equipment MUST NOT be metallically
connected to interfaces that connect to the OSP or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as
intra-building interfaces only (Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE, Issue 4) and require isolation
from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of Primary Protectors is not sufficient protection in order to
connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.
Special handling requirements
Be careful when handling electronic components
ATTENTION
ELECTROSTATIC
SENSITIVE
DEVICES
• This product contains static sensitive components.
• Do not open the enclosure, there are no user serviceable parts.
• Follow proper electrostatic discharge procedures.
This product utilizes circuitry that can be damaged by static electricity. Before installing, discharge static
electricity on your body by physically making contact with earth ground. Failure to follow ESD precautions
may cause damage to the unit and prevent proper operation.

Applications
Network equipment used in critical applications demand rugged, reliable Ethernet switches for
uninterrupted service. RLH hardened, industrial switches are ideal for small and medium enterprise, retail,
commercial and telecommunications applications where reliability is a concern.
Commonly, switches are used to intelligently manage data packets between ports. A typical Ethernet
switch installation diagram is shown below.

Installation
Prior to installation:
• Check for shipping damage
• Check the contents to ensure correct model and fiber type
• Have a clean, dry, DIN rail or wall mount installation environment ready
Required for installation:
•12~36VDC local power source
!RLH Industries, Inc. • Tel. 866-DO-FIBER • Fax [phone] • www.fiberopticlink.com!Page 3

Connect Ethernet cable
The 10/100/Base-T copper connection is made via the RJ45 ports. The TP ports are auto-negotiating and
require no additional settings.
Connect Power
Attach a FG ground wire to the ground screw on the housing. Alternately, attach a ground wire to the FG
terminal on the power connector. Connect a local 12~36VDC power supply to the power input terminals.
Note: The power terminals are polarity sensitive. Attach the Positive DC wire to the V+ terminal.
