The RUGGEDCOM RSG2488 is a Gigabit layer 2 managed switches which is field upgradable with a dual redundant power supplies. Designed to not only reduce rack space needs, cut sparing costs, minimize time-to-repair while eliminating routine maintenance and separate timing cabling but also deliver increase network availability.
RSG2488 can operate as an IEEE 1588 transparent clock, ordinary clock, master clock and supports both 1-step and 2-step operations. The available PTP module also allows the RSG2488 to get timing information from GPS and serve as a grandmaster clock for downstream time recipients.
The RSG2488 supports IEEE 1588 (PTP), SNTP, IRIG-B and GPS. It can convert time between all of these formats.
