Cisco IEM3300 Catalyst Rugged Series Expansion Modules

Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series switches deliver high-speed up to 10 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact form factor, and are designed for a wide range of industrial applications where hardened products are required. The modular design of the Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series offers the flexibility to expand to up to 26 ports of Gigabit Ethernet or up to 24 ports of Gigabit Ethernet and 2 ports of 10 Gigabit (10G) Ethernet with a range of expansion module options. The platform is built to withstand harsh environments in manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining, smart cities, and oil and gas. The IE3300 platform is also ideal for extended enterprise deployments in outdoor spaces, warehouses, and distribution centers.

These switches run Cisco IOS® XE, a next-generation operating system with built-in security and trust, featuring secure boot, image signing, and the Cisco® Trust anchor module. Cisco IOS XE also provides API-driven configuration with open APIs and data models.

The Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series can be managed with powerful management tools such as Cisco DNA Center and Cisco Industrial Network Director, and can be easily set up with a completely redesigned user-friendly modern GUI tool called WebUI. The platform also supports Full Flexible NetFlow (FNF) for real-time visibility into traffic patterns and threat analysis with Cisco Stealthwatch®.

Robust industrial design

• Built for harsh environments and temperature ranges (-40°C to +75°C)
• Fanless, convection-cooled with no moving parts for extended durability
• Hardened for vibration, shock and surge, and electrical noise immunity
• Complies with multi-industry specifications for automation, ITS, and substation environments
• Improves uptime, performance, and safety of industrial systems and equipment
• Covers a wide range of Power over Ethernet (PoE) (up to IEEE® 802.3bt type 4) application requirements
• Alarm I/O for monitoring and signalling to external equipment

Full Gigabit Ethernet interfaces with 10G uplink variants

• Provides secure access for new high-speed applications in the industrial space
• There are two base system port configurations available:
  • 2 ports of 10G uplinks – Packs up to 10 ports – 2x 10G Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP+) uplinks plus 8x 1GE copper RJ45 downlink ports (with IEEE® 802.3bt PoE or non-PoE) in a small form-factor base system
  • 2 ports of 1GE uplinks – Packs up to 10 ports of GE – 2x 1GE Small Form-Factor Pluggable (SFP) uplinks plus 8x 1GE copper RJ45 downlink ports (with PoE+ or non PoE) in a small form-factor base system

• Expandable up to 26 ports of GE by attaching one of 8 compatible modules (copper, PoE, fiber and 2.5G with IEEE® 802.3bt type 4 options) or up to 24 ports of GE plus 2 ports of 10G by attaching one of the 8 compatible modules (copper, PoE, fiber and 2.5G with IEEE® 802.3bt type 4 options)
• Connects high-speed wireless access points (802.11n, 802.11ac, 802.11ac WAVE 2, 802.11ax)
• Enables Ultra High-Definition (UHD), PTZ IP cameras, Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC) and Wi-Fi 6 Access Points
• Delivers multiple rings and redundant ring topologies for new network configurations
• Extends geographical scalability where longer-distance connectivity is required

High-density industrial Power over Ethernet (PoE)

• Supports up to 24x PoE/PoE+ ports or 4x 802.3bt type 4 ports (with 2.5G expansion module) with the all GE PoE enabled base [Power budget – 360W] or up to 24x PoE/PoE+ ports or 8x “802.3bt type 3” ports or 4x “802.3bt type 4” ports with the 10G, PoE enabled system [Power budget – 480Watts] Controls costs by limiting wiring, distribution panels, and circuit breakers
• Reduces equipment needs, thus requiring less space and reducing heat dissipation
• Enables ready-to-use PoE devices, such as IP phones, cameras, and wireless access points

User-friendly GUI, called WebUI

• Allows for easy configuration and monitoring
• Eliminates the need for more complex, terminal emulation programs
• Reduces the cost of deployment

SwapDrive for zero-configuration replacement

• True zero-configuration and simple switch replacement in the event of a failure
• No networking expertise required
• Helps ensure fast recovery

Full Flexible NetFlow (FNF)

• Provides enhanced flow and threat visibility
• Enables optimization of the network infrastructure
