Cisco Catalyst IE-3100H-8T-E Heavy Duty Industrial Ethernet Switch

Industrial Switching Without the Cabinet

The Cisco Catalyst IE-3100H-8T-E is engineered for environments where traditional switches don’t survive.

This IP67-rated industrial Ethernet switch delivers Gigabit performance in a hardened enclosure that can be mounted directly on rolling stock, inside tunnels, on mobile plant or across exposed production environments.

By removing reliance on protective cabinets, it simplifies deployment and reduces enclosure complexity.

Purpose-Built for Harsh OT Environments

Industrial networks operate in dust, vibration, water spray and extreme temperatures. The IE-3100H-8T-E is designed to withstand these conditions while maintaining reliable connectivity.

Industrial M12 connectors provide secure, vibration-resistant terminations, improving long-term durability in high-movement applications.

Gigabit Performance for Modern Industrial Applications

With eight Gigabit Ethernet ports, the switch supports high-bandwidth industrial use cases including edge compute, vision systems, sensors and distributed control.

It enables modern OT architectures without compromising physical resilience.

Resilient by Design

Support for industrial redundancy protocols allows deployment in ring and resilient topologies used in rail, substations, tunnels and manufacturing environments.

This ensures network continuity where uptime directly affects safety and production.

Integrated OT Security

Running Cisco IOS XE with hardware-based trust anchoring, the IE-3100H-8T-E brings enterprise-grade security into industrial networks.

It supports secure access, network segmentation and encrypted management to help operators modernise OT connectivity with control and confidence.

Designed for Scalable Industrial Networks

The switch integrates with Cisco Catalyst Center and supports API-driven configuration, enabling consistent deployment and lifecycle management across distributed industrial sites.
