Cisco RPS-CG-COVER= Ethernet & Network Switches
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cisco RPS-CG-COVER and what does it do?
The Cisco RPS-CG-COVER is a power supply blank cover for Cisco RPS (Redundant Power System) modules designed for CGR2010 and CGS2520 switches. This accessory provides a protective cover for unused RPS ports, maintaining proper airflow and system integrity when not all power supply slots are populated. We offer this genuine Cisco component to help maintain your network infrastructure's professional appearance and operational efficiency.
Which Cisco switch models are compatible with the RPS-CG-COVER?
The RPS-CG-COVER is compatible with Cisco CGR2010 and CGS2520 switch models. This cover is specifically designed to fit the RPS slot configuration on these platforms. Contact us today to verify compatibility with your specific network configuration or to discuss your redundant power system requirements.
How does the Cisco RPS system improve network uptime?
The Cisco RPS 2300 system provides less than 60-microsecond failover capability that prevents switch reboot after an internal power failure, ensuring continuous network availability. When backed by an RPS 2300, Catalyst 3750-E or 3560-E Series Switches can revert to their own power supply without rebooting. The system also supports AC source backup when separate circuits are used, providing comprehensive redundancy for maximum uptime.
Can the RPS system work with both traditional Ethernet switches and PoE switches?
Yes, the Cisco RPS system supports both traditional data-only Ethernet switches and Power over Ethernet (PoE) switches, making it a versatile solution for diverse network environments. This compatibility ensures you can deploy redundant power protection across your entire switch infrastructure without requiring separate RPS systems.

What are the key benefits of using modular power supplies in the RPS system?
Modular power supplies in the Cisco RPS system offer enhanced availability, configuration flexibility, and efficient wiring closet space utilization in a compact 1-rack-unit form factor. The system allows individual RPS ports to be remotely placed in active or standby mode with configurable port priorities and failover policies. This modularity enables you to customize your redundant power setup to match your specific network requirements.
How is the RPS system managed and configured?
The Cisco RPS system offers enhanced management capabilities, particularly when deployed with Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E Series Switches, allowing remote configuration of active/standby modes and failover policies. Individual RPS ports can be independently managed and prioritized based on your network's critical infrastructure needs. We offer complete RPS systems and accessories available from us to support your network management strategy.
