The Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series delivers mainstream adoption of Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact, fixed form-factor switch that is purpose-built for a wide variety of extended enterprise and industrial applications in the most space constrained scenarios.

Product overview

Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series switches with up to 20 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces deliver high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact form factor and are designed for a wide range of industrial applications for which hardened products are required. This platform is built to withstand harsh environments in manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining, smart cities, and oil and gas. The IE3100 is ideal for space constrained deployments often found in distribution centers, warehouses, and outdoor spaces.
