Copper Ethernet Ports
The RUGGEDCOM RS940G supports several 10/100/1000Base-TX Ethernet ports that allow connection to
standard Category 5 (CAT-5) unshielded twisted-pair (UTP) cables with RJ45 male connectors. The RJ45
connectors are directly connected to the chassis ground on the device and can accept CAT-5 shielded twisted-
pair (STP) cables.
