Keep edge infrastructure connected with an industrial switch designed for mixed access, power delivery, and uplink performance. The Cisco Catalyst IE3300 configuration combines 8 Gigabit copper ports with 4 PoE+ ports and 2 10G SFP uplinks, giving you a practical platform for powering endpoints while preserving bandwidth for upstream aggregation. This is the kind of switch chosen when the network has to do more than pass traffic. PoE support reduces the need for separate power runs to cameras, access points, sensors, and other powered devices. The 10G SFP uplinks provide headroom for aggregation or backbone connections, helping prevent access-layer bottlenecks as the environment grows. For industrial and operational technology deployments, the value is in the balance: copper for local devices, PoE for powered endpoints, and 10G fiber-ready uplinks for the core. It is a strong fit for teams standardizing on Cisco infrastructure and looking for a switch that can support both current edge requirements and future expansion without overbuilding the access layer.
