CAUTION
indicates that minor personal injury can result if proper precautions are not taken.
NOTICE
indicates that property damage can result if proper precautions are not taken.
If more than one degree of danger is present, the warning notice representing the highest degree of danger
will be used. A notice warning of injury to persons with a safety alert symbol may also include a warning
relating to property damage.

Preface
This guide describes the RUGGEDCOM RS900G. It describes the major features of the
device, installation, commissioning and important technical specifications.
It is intended for use by network technical support personnel who are responsible
for the installation, commissioning and maintenance of the device. It is also
recommended for use by network and system planners, system programmers, and
line technicians.
Cybersecurity information
Siemens provides products and solutions with industrial cybersecurity functions that
support the secure operation of plants, systems, machines and networks.
In order to protect plants, systems, machines and networks against cyber threats,
it is necessary to implement – and continuously maintain – a holistic, state-of-the-
art industrial cybersecurity concept. Siemens' products and solutions constitute one
element of such a concept.
Customers are responsible for preventing unauthorized access to their plants,
systems, machines and networks. Such systems, machines and components should
only be connected to an enterprise network or the internet if and to the extent
such a connection is necessary and only when appropriate security measures (e.g.
firewalls and/or network segmentation) are in place.
For additional information on industrial cybersecurity measures that may be
implemented, please visit https://www.siemens.com/cybersecurity-industry.
Siemens' products and solutions undergo continuous development to make them
more secure. Siemens strongly recommends that product updates are applied as
soon as they are available and that the latest product versions are used. Use of
product versions that are no longer supported, and failure to apply the latest updates
may increase customer's exposure to cyber threats.
To stay informed about product updates, subscribe to the Siemens Industrial
Cybersecurity RSS Feed under https://www.siemens.com/cert.

device may not function according to the specification. Damaged parts can lead to:
• Injury to personnel
• Loss of certification/approvals
• Violation of EMC regulations
• Damage to the device or other components
CAUTION
Burn hazard – risk of personal injury
The surface of the device may be hot during operation, or as a result of the ambient
air temperature.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment and use caution when working
with or around the device.
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 RuggedCom Inc. could
invalidate specifications, test results, and agency approvals, and void the user's
authority to operate the equipment.

Installing the Device
2.1 General Procedure
NOTICE
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
of a tool, lock and key, or other means of security, and controlled by the authority
responsible for the location.
NOTICE
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.

Installing the Device
2.4 Mounting the Device
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.
Note
For detailed dimensions of the device with either DIN rail or panel hardware installed,
refer to "Dimension Drawings" (Page 23).
Note
The adapter features a sliding release with a slot at the bottom for a flathead
screwdriver.

Note
• Maximum segment length is greatly dependent on factors such as fiber quality,
and the number of patches and splices. Consult a Siemens Sales associate when
determining maximum segment distances.
• All optical power numbers are listed as dBm averages. To convert from average
to peak add 3 dBm. To convert from peak to average, subtract 3 dBm.
• All cabling is duplex type unless otherwise specified.
