Overview
The Cisco IE 3000 switch provides a rugged and secure switching infrastructure for harsh environments.
It is suitable for industrial Ethernet applications, including factory automation, intelligent transportation
systems (ITSs), substations, and other deployments in harsh environments.
You can connect these switches to office networking devices like Cisco IP Phones, Cisco Wireless
Access Points workstations, and other devices such as servers, routers, and other switches. In industrial
environments, you can connect any Ethernet-enabled industrial communication devices, including
programmable logic controllers (PLCs), human-machine interfaces (HMIs), drives, sensors, traffic
signal controllers, and intelligent electronic devices (IEDs).
You can mount the switch on a DIN rail in an industrial enclosure, on a wall or panel, and with some
restrictions, in a standard 19-inch rack. Its components are designed to withstand extremes in
temperature, vibration, and shock that are common in an industrial environment.
The switch does not have cooling fans.
