Modular expansion slots support IEM-3300 series add-on modules to scale total port count up to 26 ports for future capacity growth.

Built-in high-capacity integrated 480W UPOE power supply delivers native 60W power to high-consumption industrial endpoints: 4K PTZ IP cameras, industrial Wi-Fi 6/6E APs, multi-touch HMI panels, high-speed machine vision scanners and safety IoT monitoring sensors, eliminating separate external power injectors and simplifying field wiring layout. Two standalone 10G SFP+ fiber uplinks support high-speed multi-fiber trunking, redundant REP/MRP ring topologies and multi-path high-bandwidth backbone connections to multiple central control room core switches.

Preloaded universal Cisco IOS XE Network Advantage firmware with native license-free IEEE 1588v2 PTP precision timing, it natively supports mission-critical industrial automation standards: REP Resilient Ethernet Protocol, MRP Media Redundancy Protocol, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET and Modbus TCP; built-in L2 NAT and full dynamic Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 routing enable cross-subnet remote site IP translation and multi-VLAN inter-network forwarding without extra license upgrades. It also supports Cisco IOx edge application hosting, Cyber Vision industrial threat monitoring and full MACsec 256-bit fiber link encryption for end-to-end OT cybersecurity visibility and protectionCisco.

Equipped with industrial high-speed chipset, 4GB DRAM and front-access removable SD flash storage (sold separately as optional accessory), it provides 28 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and 20.88 Mpps wire-speed forwarding rate for 64-byte frames. Low-latency optimized packet buffering ensures consistent transmission of real-time PLC motion control signals, mass multi-stream industrial 4K surveillance video and high-volume distributed IIoT sensor data. Passive heat sink fanless design delivers silent, maintenance-free 24/7 continuous operation in standard vented industrial enclosures.
