Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series Switches

The Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series delivers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact form factor and is designed for a wide range of industrial applications where hardened products are required. The platform is built to withstand harsh environments in manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining, smart cities, and oil and gas. The IE3200 platform is presented as an ideal solution for extended enterprise deployments in outdoor spaces, warehouses, and distribution centers.

These switches run Cisco IOS® XE, a network operating system with built-in security and trust, featuring secure boot, image signing, and a Cisco® Trust anchor module. Cisco IOS® XE also provides API-driven configuration with open APIs and data models.

The Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series can be managed with tools such as Cisco DNA Center and Industrial Network Director, and can be set up with a completely redesigned modern GUI tool called WebUI.

The IE3200 series supports power budget of up to 240W for PoE/PoE+, shared across 8 ports, and can be used to connect PoE-powered end devices such as IP cameras, phones, wireless access points, and sensors.

Industrial Design

Built for harsh environments and temperature ranges (-40°C to +75°C), the Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series is a fanless, convection-cooled switch with no moving parts for extended durability. Hardened for vibration, shock and surge, and electrical noise immunity, it complies with multi-industry specifications for automation, ITS, and substation environments. It is designed to improves uptime, performance, and safety of industrial systems and equipment, and covers a range of Power over Ethernet (PoE) application requirements. It also features Alarm I/O for monitoring and signaling to external equipment.

Gigabit Ethernet interfaces

Designed to Provide secure access for new high-speed applications in the industrial space. Packs up to 10 ports of GE - 2x1 Gigabit Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) uplinks, plus 8x1 Gigabit copper RJ45 downlink ports (with PoE+ or non PoE) in a small form-factor base system. It connects high-speed wireless access points (802.11n, 802.11ac), and enables high-definition (HD) IP cameras and programmable logic controllers (PLC). The switch delivers multiple rings and redundant ring topologies for new network configurations. Extends geographical scalability where longer-distance connectivity is required.

High-density industrial Power over Ethernet (PoE)

Supports up to 8 PoE/PoE+ ports [Power budget - 240W]. It is designed to control costs by limiting wiring, distribution panels, and circuit breakers, and reduce equipment needs, thus requiring less space and reducing heat dissipation. It also enables ready-to-use PoE devices, such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points.

WebUI, a modern GUI

According to the vendor, WebUI can enable easy configuration and monitoring of devices, as well as eliminate the name for terminal emulation, and reduce the cost of deployment overall.

SwapDrive

A zero-configuration and simple switch replacement for the event of failure that requires no networking expertise to implement, and helps to ensure fast recovery.
