About the Cisco Industrial Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series
The Cisco Industrial Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series (IE-3400H-16T-E) delivers 36 Gbps switching capacity and 26.78 Mpps forwarding rate—enabling line-rate performance across industrial and mission-critical network environments. Built for extreme conditions, this fanless hardened switch operates reliably from -40°C to +70°C and supports dual DC input ranging from 12–48 VDC nominal, making it ideal for factory floors, utility substations, and remote infrastructure where traditional cooling and AC power are unavailable.
Network engineers and IT procurement teams benefit from Cisco's industrial-grade architecture: 16 copper 10/100/1000BASE-T ports (RJ-45) plus 4 shared 1G SFP uplink ports, all housed in a DIN-rail or rack-mountable form factor. The switch runs Cisco IOS XE with Layer 2/Layer 3 capabilities, supports up to 256 VLANs (802.1Q), and includes advanced redundancy protocols—MRP, PRP, HSR, RSTP, MSTP—alongside security features such as 802.1X, Cisco TrustSec, IP Source Guard, and Dynamic ARP Inspection. With typical power consumption of approximately 42W and an MTBF of approximately 400,000 hours, the IE-3400H-16T-E combines low energy draw with exceptional reliability. Application hosting via Cisco IOx enables Linux container and edge application deployment directly on the switch.
Industrial Deployment Scenarios
- Substation automation and utility SCADA networks requiring extended temperature tolerance and ruggedized connectivity
- Manufacturing and discrete production environments where DIN-rail mounting and fanless operation eliminate maintenance burdens
- Remote oil and gas installations benefiting from dual DC power inputs and compact hardened design
- Water treatment and critical infrastructure sites needing redundancy protocols (PRP, HSR, MRP) for zero-downtime operation
- Edge computing deployments using Cisco IOx for on-device analytics and application hosting at the network edge

Frequently Asked Questions about Cisco Industrial Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series
Does the Cisco Industrial Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series support our SFP transceivers?
Most enterprise switches ship without transceivers; we quote vendor-matched optics alongside the switch (Cisco-genuine for Catalyst/Nexus, HPE/Aruba-genuine for CX, Juniper-genuine for QFX/EX). Third-party MSA-compatible options are also available at lower cost — specify preference in the RFQ.
Do you provide stacking / VPC / MLAG configuration help?
Yes — our network engineers can pre-stage stacking, VPC pairs, MLAG, EVPN-VXLAN, or fabric extender configurations in advance, or provide remote commissioning. Add commissioning to your RFQ.
What software licensing is included?
Switch software licensing varies by vendor. Cisco DNA / Cisco DCNM, Aruba CX licensing tiers, Juniper Premium, NVIDIA Cumulus — we quote the licensing tier matched to your features (BGP-EVPN, telemetry, automation). No surprises later.
Is the support global?
Yes — manufacturer hardware support is global (return-to-vendor or advance replacement depending on tier). For 24x7 same-day on-site replacement, attach a SmartNet / Foundation Care / J-Care contract during quoting.
