Cisco Catalyst IE3400

The Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Series is a portfolio of rugged industrial Ethernet switches engineered for harsh and mission-critical environments, including manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining, smart cities, and oil and gas. Designed with a compact, modular architecture, these switches deliver scalable Gigabit connectivity with the flexibility to expand up to 26 ports using field-replaceable expansion modules.

Key Features

Flexible Connectivity: Base models offer 8 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and 2 SFP fiber uplinks, with modular expansion for additional copper, fiber, or PoE ports.
Power over Ethernet: Supports PoE/PoE+ with up to 480W power budget across connected devices.
Advanced Security: Built on Cisco IOS XE with secure boot, image signing, and Trust Anchor technology for hardware-level protection.
Modern Management: Simplified deployment and monitoring via Cisco Catalyst Center and intuitive WebUI.
Network Visibility: Full Flexible NetFlow (FNF) enables deep traffic analysis and integration with Cisco Secure Network Analytics.
Edge Computing: Cisco IOx support allows containerized applications to run directly on the switch.
High Resiliency: Supports industrial ring protocols such as MRP, REP, and DLR, with dual redundant power inputs.
Industrial Design: Certified for extreme conditions including temperature, vibration, and electromagnetic interference.

Heavy Duty Models

The IE3400 Heavy Duty Series extends these capabilities with an IP67-rated enclosure, ideal for environments exposed to dust and water. These models feature M12 connectors, multiple port configurations (8, 16, or 24 ports), and support direct wall mounting without additional cabinets.

Deployment Benefits

With support for Network Essentials and Network Advantage licensing, along with modular expansion options, the IE3400 Series enables secure, scalable, and resilient industrial networking tailored to evolving operational technology (OT) needs.
