Model Suffix Breakdown
-
8T: 8×10/100BASE-TX Fast Ethernet RJ45 downlink ports, non-PoE unpowered copper interfaces
-
C: Dual-media combo uplink ports, each port supports either Gigabit RJ45 copper or Gigabit SFP fiber transceiver (single media active at one time; SFP takes priority when both connected)
-
G: Gigabit-capable uplink interfaces, differentiated from FE-only uplink IE-2000 variants
-
N: Enhanced LAN Base firmware bundle with built-in IEEE 1588v2 PTP clock synchronization and native L2 NAT feature (no extra license upgrade required)Cisco
This industrial switch features IP30 rugged metal chassis, dual redundant isolated DC power inputs, conformal-coating-ready PCB layout, standard wide operating temperature range and high-grade EMC/EMI surge filtering. It withstands vibration, dust, humidity and moderate temperature fluctuations in factory machine cabinets, roadside traffic enclosures, conventional power substation control panels and general industrial automation sites without extreme sealed-enclosure heat demands.
It delivers flexible hybrid uplink options: short-distance Gigabit copper interconnection via RJ45, or long-haul fiber transmission with SFP optical modules to link edge field devices to central control room core switches. Running enhanced Cisco IOS LAN Base firmware with native PTP and NAT, it natively supports mission-critical industrial automation standards: REP Resilient Ethernet Protocol, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, IEEE 1588v2 Precision Time Protocol and Layer 2 NAT for remote site IP address translation, ideal for mid-size production lines, roadside multi-camera monitoring nodes and distributed energy control systems without PoE endpoint requirements.
Equipped with industrial-grade chipset, 256MB DDR2 DRAM and front hot-swappable 128MB 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 guarantees consistent transmission of real-time PLC control signals, multi-stream industrial surveillance video and high-volume IIoT sensor data. Intelligent variable-speed fan dynamically adjusts rotation speed to balance heat dissipation and acoustic noise under sustained heavy traffic loads.
