The Cisco Industrial Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Switch (part number IE-9320-26S2C-A) features dual redundant DC power inputs (9.6–60 VDC), ensuring continuous operation in mission-critical industrial environments where power supply failover is non-negotiable. This fanless, passive cooling design eliminates maintenance burden while the DIN-rail and rack-mountable form factor delivers deployment flexibility across confined or standard cabinet spaces. Network engineers and industrial IT teams will appreciate the 28-port architecture: 24 × 1G SFP fiber access ports, 2 × 1G/10G SFP+ fixed uplinks, and 2 × combo Gigabit SFP ports—delivering 56 Gbps switching capacity and approximately 41.7 Mpps forwarding rate for latency-sensitive industrial protocols.

Built on Cisco IOS XE, the IE9300 supports comprehensive Layer 3 routing (static routing, RIPv2, OSPFv2, IS-IS), high-availability protocols (REP, Rapid PVST+, EtherChannel with LACP/PAGP), and hardened security including MACsec IEEE 802.1AE hardware encryption, IEEE 802.1X port-based access control, and RADIUS/TACACS+ authentication. Cisco Cyber Vision integration enables real-time visibility into EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, and DNP3 traffic—critical for hazardous area plants and SCADA-dependent operations. Rated for –40°C to +70°C operating conditions and certified to IEC 61850-3, IEEE 1613, ATEX Zone 2 / Class I Div 2, IEC 62443, CE, and UL standards, this switch bridges enterprise-grade reliability with industrial durability. Management options span Cisco DNA Center, CLI, NETCONF/YANG, RESTCONF, and SNMPv1/v2c/v3.

Typical Industrial Deployment Scenarios

• Oil & gas SCADA networks requiring hazardous-area certification and EtherNet/IP protocol inspection across distributed control systems
• Utility substations and renewable energy facilities needing IEC 61850-3 compliance with redundant DC power and extended temperature tolerance
• Pharmaceutical and food processing plants where passive cooling eliminates contamination risks in clean-room or washdown environments
• Railway and transportation hubs demanding ATEX compliance and high-availability Ethernet switching for mission-critical signaling
• Mining operations with extreme temperature swings, dust, and vibration requiring fanless, DIN-rail-mountable industrial-grade architecture
