Introduction
1.5Cabling Recommendations
equipment. Recycling and disposal must be done in accordance with local
regulations.
1.5 Cabling Recommendations
Before connecting the device, be aware of the recommendations and considerations
outlined in this section.
1.5.1 Protection On Twisted-Pair Data Ports
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. This means that during a transient
electrical event, communications errors or interruptions may occur, but recovery is
automatic.
Siemens also does not recommend using copper Ethernet ports to interface with
devices in the field across distances that could produce high levels of ground
potential rise (i.e. greater than 2500 V), during line-to-ground fault conditions.
1.5.2 Gigabit Ethernet 1000Base-TX Cabling Recommendations
The IEEE 802.3ab Gigabit Ethernet standard defines 1000 Mbit/s Ethernet
communications over distances of up to 100 m (328 ft) using all 4 pairs in category
5 (or higher) balanced, unshielded twisted-pair cabling. For wiring guidelines,
system designers and integrators should refer to the Telecommunications Industry
Association (TIA) TIA/EIA-568-A wiring standard that characterizes minimum cabling
performance specifications required for proper Gigabit Ethernet operation. For
reliable, error-free data communication, new and pre-existing communication paths
should be verified for TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
The following table summarizes the relevant cabling standards:
Cabling
Category
1000Base-
TX Compliant
Required Action
< 5 No New wiring infrastructure required.
5 Yes Verify TIA/EIA-568-A compliance.
5e Yes No action required. New installations should be designed with
Category 5e or higher.
6 Yes No action required.
> 6 Yes Connector and wiring standards to be determined.
Follow these recommendations for copper data cabling in high electrical noise
environments:
RUGGEDCOM MX5000
Installation Manual, 01/2021, C79000-G8976-1059-13 5
Introduction
1.5.3Supported Fiber Optic Cables
• Data cable lengths should be as short as possible, preferably 3 m (10
ft) in length. Copper data cables should not be used for inter-building
communications.
• Power and data cables should not be run in parallel for long distances, and
should be installed in separate conduits. Power and data cables should intersect
at 90° angles when necessary to reduce inductive coupling.
• Shielded/screened cabling can be used when required. Care should be taken to
avoid the creation of ground loops with shielded cabling.
1.5.3 Supported Fiber Optic Cables
The following fiber optic cable types are supported under the stated conditions.

Installing the Device 2
The following sections describe how to install the device, including mounting the
device, connecting power, and connecting the device to the network.
DANGER
Electrocution hazard – risk of serious personal injury and/or damage to
equipment
Before performing any maintenance tasks, make sure all power to the device has
been disconnected and wait approximately two minutes for any remaining energy
to dissipate.
WARNING
Burn hazard – risk of serious personal injury
Avoid contact with the surface of the unit. The metal surface may be hot due to the
high allowable ambient temperature per specification.
Éviter tout contact avec la surface. La surface métallique peut être chaude a cause
d'une température ambiante élevée selon les spécifications. S.V.P. se référer à la
version française de ce guide pour les détails.
WARNING
Radiation hazard – risk of serious personal injury
This product contains a laser system and is classified as a CLASS 1 LASER PRODUCT.
Use of controls or adjustments or performance of procedures other than those
specified herein may result in hazardous radiation exposure.
NOTICE
This product contains no user-serviceable parts. Attempted service by unauthorized
personnel shall render all warranties null and void.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by Siemens AG could invalidate
specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's authority to
operate the equipment.
IMPORTANT
This product should be installed in a restricted access location where access can only
be gained by authorized personnel who have been informed of the restrictions and
any precautions that must be taken. Access must only be possible through the use

Installation Manual, 01/2021, C79000-G8976-1059-13 7
Installing the Device
2.1General Procedure
2.1 General Procedure
The general procedure for installing the device is as follows:
IMPORTANT
The user is responsible for the operating environment of the device, including
maintaining the integrity of all protective conductor connections and checking
equipment ratings. Make sure to review all operating and installation instructions
before commissioning or performing maintenance on the device.
1. Review the relevant certification information for any regulatory requirements.
For more information, refer to "Approvals (Page 39)".
2. Review the RUGGEDCOM MX5000 Modules Catalog for special installation or
regulatory requirements related to the modules installed in the device.
3. Mount the device.
4. Connect the failsafe alarm relay.
5. Connect power to the device and ground the device to safety Earth.
6. Connect the device to the network.
7. Configure the device.
2.2 Unpacking the Device
When unpacking the device, do the following:
1. Inspect the package for damage before opening it.
2. Visually inspect each item in the package for any physical damage.
3. Verify all items are included.
IMPORTANT
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance.
2.3 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM MX5000 is designed for maximum mounting and display
flexibility. It can be equipped with adapters that allow it to be installed in a 48 cm (19
in) rack or directly on a panel.
NOTICE
Heat generated by the device is channeled outwards from the enclosure. As such, it
is recommended that 2.5 cm (1 in) of space be maintained on all open sides of the
device to allow for some convectional airflow.

Installation Manual, 01/2021, C79000-G8976-1059-13
Installing the Device
2.3.1Mounting the Device to a Rack
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a
reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted in the rack space.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with mounting hardware installed, refer to
"Dimension Drawings (Page 36)".
2.3.1 Mounting the Device to a Rack
For installations, the RUGGEDCOM MX5000 can be equipped with adapters pre-
installed at the front or rear of the chassis. Additional adapters are provided to
further secure the device in high-vibration or seismically active locations.

Installation Manual, 01/2021, C79000-G8976-1059-13 9
Installing the Device
2.3.1Mounting the Device to a Rack
To secure the device to a standard 48 cm (19 in) rack, do the following:
1. Make sure the adapters are installed on the correct side of the chassis.
• To make the modules and ports accessible, install the adapters at the rear of
the chassis
• To make the management ports and LEDs accessible, install the adapters at
the front of the chassis
Note
The chassis features multiple mounting holes, allowing the adapters to be
installed up to 25 mm (1 in) from the face of the device.

Installing the Device
2.3.2Mounting the Device to a Panel
3. Insert the device into the rack.
Note
Since heat within the device is channeled to the enclosure, it is recommended
that 1 rack-unit of space, or 44 mm (1.75 in), be kept empty above the device.
This allows a small amount of convectional airflow.
Forced airflow is not required. However, any increase in airflow will result in a
reduction of ambient temperature and improve the long-term reliability of all
equipment mounted in the rack space.
4. Secure the adapters to the rack using the supplied hardware.
2.3.2 Mounting the Device to a Panel
For panel installations, the RUGGEDCOM MX5000 can be equipped with adapters
pre-installed on each side of the chassis. The adapters allow the device to be
attached to a panel using screws.
