Keep critical industrial traffic moving with the Cisco Catalyst IE3400 platform configured with 8 Gigabit Ethernet PoE ports and 2 SFP uplinks. Built for edge deployments that need dependable access switching, it supports powered devices such as cameras, access points, and controllers while preserving fiber connectivity for upstream aggregation. The modular design gives infrastructure teams more flexibility in how the switch is deployed and maintained, especially where downtime carries real operational cost. In industrial environments, that matters: you need a switch that can sit close to the process, handle mixed copper and fiber connectivity, and integrate cleanly into segmented networks. This model is a strong fit when you need more than a basic access switch. PoE support reduces the need for separate power runs, SFP uplinks help extend distance and isolate traffic, and Cisco’s industrial switching lineage is designed for environments where reliability and network control are part of the operating model. For teams standardizing on Cisco at the edge, it offers a practical balance of capability, density, and deployment confidence.
