Introduction 1
The RUGGEDCOM RMC40 is a 4-port, unmanaged Ethernet switch that provides
both copper-to-fiber media conversion as well as 10 Mbps to 100 Mbps speed
conversion. Specifically designed to operate reliably in electrically and climatically
harsh environments, it is well suited for use in mission critical Ethernet networking
applications.
The RUGGEDCOM RMC40 is packaged in a compact, galvanized steel enclosure that
allows either DIN or panel mounting for efficient use of cabinet space. It has an
integrated power supply with a wide range of voltages for worldwide operability.
An operating temperature range of -40 to 80 °C (-40 to 176 °F) without the use of
internal cooling fans allows it to be placed in almost any location. The RUGGEDCOM
RMC40 is compliant with EMI and environmental standards for utility substations,
industrial manufacturing, process and control and intelligent transportation systems
applications.
The versatility and wide selection of fiber optics allows the RUGGEDCOM RMC40
to be used in a variety of applications. It can be used in place of traditional copper-
to-fiber media converters with the added ability to convert speed from 10Mbps to
100Mbps. With dual fiber optics, daisy chaining of Ethernet enabled devices can
easily be accomplished. For the most demanding of systems, a dual-redundant fiber
optic connection can be created for a device that only offers a single 10/100Base-TX
port.
1.1 Feature Highlights
Ethernet Ports with Optional Dual Fiber Optics
• Three configurations to choose from:
• 2 x 10/100Base-TX ports and 1 x 100Base-FX port (SC/ST)
• 2 x 10/100Base-TX ports and 2 x 100Base-FX port (MTRJ/LC)
• 4 x 10/100Base-TX ports
• Multi-mode and single-mode optical transceivers
• Industry standard fiber optical connectors: LC, SC, ST, MTRJ
• Long haul optics allow distances from 20 to 90 km (12 to 56 mi)

Installing the Device
2.1General Procedure
2.1 General Procedure
The general procedure for installing the device is as follows:
Note
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 21).
2. Mount the device.
3. Set the operating mode.
4. Connect power to the device and ground the device to safety Earth.
5. Connect the device to the network.
6. 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.
Note
If any item is missing or damaged, contact Siemens for assistance.
2.3 Mounting the Device
The RUGGEDCOM RMC40 is designed for maximum mounting and display flexibility.
It can be equipped with adapters that allow it to be attached to a DIN rail or 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.
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.

2.4 Connecting Power
The RUGGEDCOM RMC40 supports a single integrated high AC/DC or low DC power
supply
Note
• For 110/230 VAC rated equipment, an appropriately rated AC circuit breaker
must be installed.
• For 125/250 VDC rated equipment, an appropriately rated DC circuit breaker
must be installed.
• Use minimum #16 gage copper wiring when connecting terminal blocks.

Installation Manual, 11/2022, C79000-G8976-1009-10 9

Installing the Device
2.4.1Connecting AC Power
• Equipment must be installed according to applicable local wiring codes and
standards.
• All line-to-ground transient energy is shunted to the Surge Ground terminal. In
cases where users require the inputs to be isolated from ground, remove the
ground braid between Surge and Chassis Ground. Note that all line-to-ground
transient protection circuitry will be disabled.
Note
Siemens requires the use of external surge protection in VDSL applications where the
line may be subject to surges greater than that for which the device is rated. Use the
following specifications as a guide for VDSL external surge protection:
• Clamping Voltage: 50 V to 200 V
• Insertion Loss: < 0.1 dB at 10 MHz
• Peak Surge Current: 10 kA, 8x20µs waveform
2.4.1 Connecting AC Power
To connect a high AC power supply to the device, do the following:
NOTICE
Electrical hazard – risk of damage to equipment
Before testing the dielectric strength (HIPOT) in the field, remove the braided
ground cable connected to the surge ground terminal and chassis ground. This cable
connects transient suppression circuitry to chassis ground and must be removed to
avoid damage to transient suppression circuitry during testing.
1. Connect the positive wire from the power source to the positive/live (+/L)
terminal on the terminal block.
