Cisco IE-4000-8GT4G-E Industrial Ethernet Switch – Rugged, Reliable, and Built for Harsh Environments
The Cisco IE-4000-8GT4G-E is a high-performance industrial Ethernet switch designed to deliver secure, reliable, and scalable networking in mission-critical environments. Featuring 8 Gigabit Ethernet RJ45 ports and 4 Gigabit SFP uplinks, this rugged switch ensures non-blocking wire-speed performance with 24 Gbps switching capacity and 17.9 Mpps forwarding rate.
Engineered for demanding industrial applications, the Cisco IE-4000 supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 features, VLANs, QoS, OSPF, and static routing, along with advanced security protocols such as IEEE 802.1X, ACLs, DHCP snooping, and port security. With support for IEEE 1588 PTP v2 and industrial automation protocols like CIP, PROFINET, and Modbus, it is ideal for industries such as energy, manufacturing, transportation, and utilities.
Built to withstand harsh conditions, the IE-4000-8GT4G-E operates in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to +75°C, is housed in an industrial-grade metal enclosure with conformal coating, and is completely fanless for long-term reliability. It also complies with IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 substation standards, ensuring robust performance in mission-critical deployments.
With dual redundant DC power inputs, alarm relays, and hot-swappable design, the switch guarantees high availability and resilience. Management is simplified with Cisco IOS, CLI, Web UI, SNMPv3, and advanced automation via Cisco DNA Center and Industrial Network Director (IND), supporting zero-touch deployment and secure provisioning.
Whether for industrial automation, smart grids, transportation networks, or utility substations, the Cisco IE-4000-8GT4G-E delivers enterprise-grade security, superior reliability, and scalability tailored for industrial networking.
