Model Suffix Breakdown
-
6S: Six 100/1000 Mbps SFP fiber slots for multimode/single-mode fiber uplinks/downlinks, supporting industrial SFP transceivers for long-distance field cabling
-
2G: Two 10/100/1000BASE-T Gigabit copper RJ45 ports for local short-reach connections to PLCs, HMIs, sensors and industrial IEDs
-
No PoE suffix: Non-PoE design, optimized for pure fiber aggregation scenarios without inline power requirements
This compact industrial switch adopts all-metal IP30 fanless passive convection cooling chassis with no moving mechanical parts, eliminating fan failure risks and cutting long-term field maintenance costs. Dual redundant wide-range DC power inputs (9.6–60 VDC) deliver seamless power failover for non-stop OT operation. It supports multi-ring redundant topologies via REP, MRP and DLR sub-50ms fast convergence, ideal for distributed manufacturing, remote substation sites and roadside intelligent transportation systems. A swappable industrial SD flash card simplifies zero-touch replacement, configuration backup and bulk deployment across distributed sitesCisco.
Preloaded LAN Base IOS firmware integrates native IEEE 1588v2 PTP transparent/boundary clock for precise industrial synchronization, plus full support for mission-critical OT protocols: EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP and GOOSE substation IED communication. Layer 2 NAT and static IPv4 routing enable cross-subnet remote site segmentation, while built-in security features harden edge access against unauthorized industrial network intrusions.
Equipped with industrial-grade switching ASIC, 1GB DRAM and 128MB onboard flash plus swappable 1GB SD storage (included), the IE-4010-6S2G delivers 8 Gbps non-blocking switching capacity and 5.94 Mpps wire-speed forwarding rate for 64-byte frames. Low-jitter packet buffering optimizes latency for time-sensitive motion control signals, fiber-based multi-stream surveillance and high-volume IIoT sensor data transmission. Passive heat sink design enables silent, maintenance-free 24/7 continuous operation in both sealed zero-airflow and ventilated industrial enclosuresCisco.
