2. Official Product Overview
The Cisco IE-2000-4TC-G-E is an extended-temperature hardened full-managed Layer 2 industrial switch within Cisco IE 2000 product family, an enhanced variant of standard IE-2000-4TC-G designed for extremely harsh, unconditioned OT environments with extreme temperature swings.
Model Suffix Breakdown
-
4T: 4×10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet RJ45 downlink ports, non-PoE unpowered
-
C: Dual-media combo uplink ports (each port supports either Gigabit RJ45 copper or Gigabit SFP fiber transceiver)
-
G: Gigabit-capable uplink interfaces
-
E: Extended wide-temperature industrial SKU, optimized for sealed/unventilated cabinets and outdoor enclosures with tighter thermal tolerance vs standard non-E models
This industrial switch adopts fully ruggedized hardware, conformal coating-ready PCB layout, dual redundant DC power inputs, enhanced high-grade EMC/EMI filtering, and extended operating temperature range. It withstands heavy vibration, dust, high humidity, and extreme hot/cold conditions typical in oil & gas sites, mining facilities, roadside traffic cabinets, and unheated factory machine enclosures where standard industrial switches cannot operate reliably.
It delivers flexible hybrid uplink choices: short-distance Gigabit copper via RJ45 or long-distance fiber interconnection using SFP optical modules to central control room core switches. Running full Cisco IOS LAN Base firmware, it natively supports critical industrial automation protocols including REP, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP and IEEE 1588v2 precision timing, ideal for small machine builders, remote roadside monitoring nodes, distributed energy control systems and field equipment without PoE device requirements.
Equipped with industrial-grade chipset, 256MB ECC DDR2 DRAM and 128MB swappable SD flash storage, it provides 7.6 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and 5.6 Mpps wire-speed forwarding rate for 64-byte frames. Optimized low-latency packet buffering ensures stable transmission of real-time PLC control signals, industrial IP surveillance streams and distributed sensor data. Intelligent variable-speed fan cooling dynamically adjusts fan speed to balance thermal performance and acoustic noise under heavy sustained traffic loads.
