Keep critical edge systems connected with a switch built for industrial network demands. The Cisco Catalyst IE3400 combines 8 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports with 2 Gigabit SFP uplinks, giving you a compact access layer for devices that need both power and reliable uplink paths. Its modular design fits deployments where flexibility matters, whether you are standardizing plant-floor connectivity, extending network reach to remote cabinets, or segmenting traffic for operational systems. PoE support reduces the need for separate power runs to endpoints such as IP cameras, wireless access points, and control devices, while SFP uplinks help preserve distance and topology options. For infrastructure teams, the value is in predictable edge performance and a platform that aligns with industrial deployment requirements. This model is suited to environments where downtime carries real cost and where the switch must do more than simply pass traffic — it must support the network architecture behind production, monitoring, and control.
