Managed Switch Cisco Catalyst IE3100 L2 Gigabit Ethernet 4 Ports

The Cisco Catalyst IE3100 is a managed Layer 2 Gigabit Ethernet switch with four copper ports and two SFP slots, designed for industrial environments and space-constrained installations. It supports IEEE networking standards and provides secured, fully managed connectivity for devices in harsh conditions. The IE3100 is suitable for integration into custom-built and turnkey industrial solutions and offers enterprise-grade features through Cisco IOS‑XE and DNA Center management.

Advantages

The switch delivers fast, secure network connectivity in tight spaces and is engineered for reliable operation in industrial settings. Its compact form factor allows placement inside machinery or confined enclosures while maintaining managed Ethernet performance. Built with sustainability in mind, the IE3100 Rugged Series reduces surface finishing by using anodization and is shipped in 100% recyclable packaging. Advanced software and management tools provide resilient operation and quick recovery, and built-in security features such as device authentication, access control, and network segmentation help protect operations from cyberthreats.
