  We present results from Chandra HETGS (250 ks over two epochs) and XMM-Newton
EPIC and RGS (60 ks) observations of NGC 2110, which has been historically
classified as a Narrow Emission Line Galaxy galaxy. Our results support the
interpretation that the source is a Seyfert 2 viewed through a patchy absorber.
The nuclear X-ray spectrum of the source is best described by a power law of
photon index $\Gamma$ ~1.7, modified by absorption from multiple layers of
neutral material at a large distance from the central supermassive black hole.
We report the strong detections of Fe K$\alpha$ and Si K$\alpha$ lines, which
are marginally resolved with the Chandra HETGS, and we constrain the emission
radius of the fluorescing material to >1 pc. There is some evidence for modest
additional broadening at the base of the narrow Fe K$\alpha$ core with a
velocity ~4500 km s$^{-1}$. We find tentative evidence for ionized emission (O
VIII Ly $\alpha$, an O VIII RRC feature, and possibly a Ne IX forbidden line)
in the Chandra MEG and XMM-Newton RGS spectra, which could be associated with
the known extended X-ray emission that lies ~160 pc from the nucleus. We
suggest that the $10^{23}$ cm$^{-2}$ partially covering absorber originates in
broad-line region clouds in the vicinity of the AGN, and that the
$3\times10^{22}$ cm$^{-2}$ coverer is likely to have a more distant origin and
have a flattened geometry in order to allow the small-scale radio jet to
escape.
