Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series switches
In the demanding world of industrial operations, your network can't be a point of failure. From factory floors to remote substations, you need connectivity that is not just fast, but fundamentally tough, secure, and reliable. Standard enterprise switches simply can't withstand the harsh temperatures, vibrations, and electrical noise of these environments, putting your critical processes at risk.
Enter the Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series. This isn't just an enterprise switch in a hardened case; it's a purpose-built platform engineered to power the next generation of industrial applications. With immense scalability, robust security, and versatile port configurations, the IE9300 series delivers the high-performance backbone required to connect high-bandwidth devices, secure your operational technology (OT), and drive efficiency at scale.
The Cisco Catalyst IE9300 family is designed for ultimate flexibility and power, no matter your use case. With a comprehensive range of models featuring all-copper, all-fiber, and mixed-port configurations, you can build the exact network your application demands. Deliver up to 90W of Power over Ethernet (PoE) to connect and power high-resolution cameras, industrial sensors, and the latest wireless access points without the need for separate power lines, simplifying deployment and reducing costs.
Beyond its rugged exterior, the IE9300 series is powered by intelligent Cisco software. Seamlessly integrate your industrial network with familiar IT management tools like Cisco Catalyst Center for streamlined deployment and improved operational efficiency. Gain unprecedented visibility into connected assets and your security posture with Cisco Cyber Vision, and monitor network performance from end-to-end with Cisco ThousandEyes agents. It's the perfect fusion of OT resilience and IT sophistication.

Q: What makes the Cisco IE9300 series 'rugged' and suitable for industrial use?
A: The IE9300 series is purpose-built to operate reliably in harsh environments. They are designed to withstand wider temperature ranges, higher levels of shock, vibration, and electrical noise compared to standard office switches. Certain models also feature conformal coating for extra protection against moisture and contaminants.
Q: Can the IE9300 power modern, high-demand devices like 4K cameras or Wi-Fi 6 access points?
A: Absolutely. The IE9300 series is designed for this exact purpose. Specific models offer multigigabit ports and high-wattage Power over Ethernet (4PPoE) that can deliver up to 90W per port, easily powering high-resolution cameras, advanced wireless access points, and other power-hungry devices.
Q: How do these switches integrate with our existing IT management tools?
A: The IE9300 series is powered by Cisco Catalyst software, enabling seamless integration with IT-centric management platforms like Cisco Catalyst Center. This allows your IT team to manage both enterprise and industrial networks from a single, familiar dashboard, simplifying operations and reducing training overhead.
Q: What security features are included to protect our Operational Technology (OT) network?
A: These switches feature advanced industrial security protocols to safeguard your critical infrastructure. They also integrate with Cisco Cyber Vision, which provides deep visibility into your OT assets, identifies vulnerabilities, and helps you enforce a zero-trust security policy to protect against cyber threats.
Q: We need a mix of fiber and copper ports in a single switch. Is that possible?
A: Yes, the IE9300 series includes highly versatile mixed-port models, such as the IE-9310-16P8S4X. This allows you to connect a variety of devices with different interface needs using a single, compact switch.
