Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Cisco PWR-RPS2300-RF and what does it do?
The Cisco PWR-RPS2300-RF is a Redundant Power System (RPS 2300) that provides backup power and seamless failover protection for critical networking devices like Cisco Catalyst switches and integrated routers. It features a compact 1-rack-unit design with modular power supplies and 60-microsecond failover capability to prevent device reboots during power supply failures, ensuring uninterrupted operation for mission-critical converged data, voice, and video networks.
What wireless connectivity options does the Sierra Wireless RV55 LTE-A Pro Router support?
The RV55 supports LTE-Advanced Pro with an extensive range of LTE bands worldwide, along with HSPA+ fallback connectivity. The router is also available with Wi-Fi to provide secure vehicle area networking (VAN) for mobile workforces and service fleets. It includes dual SMA antenna connectors for primary and GPS/diversity functionality with active antenna support.
Which Cisco switches and devices are compatible with the RPS 2300?
The RPS 2300 supports various Cisco Catalyst switches and integrated routers, with specific connector compatibility depending on your device model. For Cisco Catalyst 3750-E and 3560-E Series Switches, you'll need the 22-pin connector cable (CAB-RPS2300-E=), while all other Cisco networking devices use the 14-pin connector cable (CAB-RPS2300=). The system comes with one cable of the appropriate variety, with additional cables available for separate order from us.
What interfaces and connectivity ports are available on the RV55?
The RV55 offers multiple host interfaces including 10/100 Base-T RJ45 Ethernet, RS-232 serial port, USB V2.0 Micro-B connector, and 2 SMA antenna connectors. It also features configurable I/O pins on the power connector supporting digital input (3.3 to 30 VDC), analog input (0 to 30 VDC), and open collector output (>200mA @ 30VDC).
How many devices can the Cisco RPS 2300 power and protect?
The RPS 2300 can connect to up to six devices total while simultaneously backing up and protecting up to two devices with redundant power supply. This cost-effective configuration allows you to extend high-availability power protection across multiple critical network devices without requiring individual power supplies for each unit.
Is the RV55 suitable for harsh outdoor and vehicle environments?
Yes, the RV55 is designed to meet harsh environmental and performance requirements with MIL-STD certification, vehicle-grade power supply, and Class I Div2 certification. It is especially well-suited for applications in energy, utilities, smart city, and public safety where remote assets and vehicles need reliable connectivity in demanding conditions.
What are the physical dimensions and weight specifications of the RPS 2300?
The RPS 2300 is a compact 1-rack-unit (1 RU) device with dimensions of 1.75 x 17.5 inches in height and width. The depth and weight vary depending on your power supply configuration: with two 1150W supplies it weighs 22 lb and measures 20.6 inches deep, while with two 750W supplies it weighs 18.6 lb and measures 17.15 inches deep. We offer all configuration options to match your specific power and space requirements.
What GPS/GNSS capabilities does the Sierra Wireless RV55 include?
The RV55 features a 12-channel GPS and GLONASS receiver with 1-second hot start acquisition time and accuracy of <2 meters (50%) or <5 meters (90%). It includes tracking sensitivity of -145 dBm and supports multiple report formats including NMEA 0183 V3.0, TAIP, RAP, and XORA, with GNSS watchdog functionality and reliable store-and-forward capabilities.
What power supply options are available for the RPS 2300?
The RPS 2300 supports modular power supply configurations with either C3K-PWR-1150WAC (1150W) or C3K-PWR-750WAC (750W) power supplies, allowing you to deploy one or two supplies depending on your redundancy and capacity needs. Both supply options include a 15-amp power cable with 6-foot length, and country-specific cable variants can be ordered separately from us.
What management and security features are built into the RV55?
The RV55 offers secure cloud-based or enterprise network management with remote authentication (LDAP, RADIUS, and TACACS+), configurable monitoring and alerting, and over-the-air firmware updates. Security features include DMZ, inbound/outbound port filtering, MAC address filtering, and PCI DSS V3.0 compatibility, along with SMS commands and SNMP management interfaces.
What connectivity and cable options does the RPS 2300 include?
The RPS 2300 includes a 4.9-foot (1.5 meter) RPS cable with a 22-pin connector on the RPS end and device-specific connectors on the switch end. The system comes with one cable matched to your device type (22-pin for Catalyst 3750-E/3560-E Series or 14-pin for other devices), with additional cables available for order. Contact us today to ensure you have the correct cable configuration for your network setup.
What warranty and support does the RV55 come with?
The RV55 includes a 3-year standard warranty with unrestricted device software upgrades. An optional 2-year warranty extension is available. The router ships with a DC power cable, quick start guide, and SMA wrench, and benefits from Sierra Wireless's comprehensive support infrastructure for fleet-wide firmware delivery and device provisioning.
