Cisco Catalyst IE-4000-16T4G-E industrial Ethernet switch

The Cisco Catalyst IE-4000-16T4G-E is a rugged Industrial Ethernet (IE) switch designed for harsh environments such as manufacturing, oil & gas, utilities, and transportation.

Key Features:

✔ 16 x 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ45) Ports – Gigabit Ethernet for industrial devices.

✔ 4 x 1G SFP (Fiber) Uplinks – For long-distance or noise-resistant fiber connections.

✔ Industrial Rugged Design

Operating Temp: -40°C to 75°C (-40°F to 167°F)

Shock/Vibration Resistant (compliant with industrial standards)

DIN-rail or wall mounting

✔ Layer 2+ Switching – Supports VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, and basic Layer 3 static routing.

✔ Cisco IOS Software – Advanced security & management features (CLI, web GUI, Cisco DNA Center optional).

✔ Redundancy Protocols – Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), Ethernet Ring Protection Switching (ERPS).

✔ Power Options:

Dual 24V DC inputs (for power redundancy)

Optional 110-240V AC power supply

Typical Applications:

Factory automation (Industry 4.0, IIoT)

Process control (SCADA, PLC networks)

Transportation (rail, traffic systems)

Oil & gas, mining (harsh environments)
