Introduction
The RKS-G4028-PL-L3 Series is purpose-built to deliver exceptional reliability and performance for mission-critical industrial and business applications, including power substation automation, railway operations, and intelligent transportation systems. With its high-density 10GbE backbone (up to 12 fixed 10G SFP+ ports), modular LAN expansion (up to 16 additional Gigabit ports), and dual isolated redundant power supply options (12/24/48 VDC, 110/220 VAC/VDC, or 48V EPS), the RKS-G4028-PL-L3 Series ensures robust communication while reducing wiring and maintenance costs. Even better, the dual-sided power installation design (front or rear) maximizes installation convenience for diverse cabinet layouts.
