Keep critical industrial traffic moving with a switch built for the edge, not the office. The Cisco IE 3000 Switch, 8 10/100 + 2 TSFP, is designed for compact deployments that need dependable access-layer connectivity and fiber-ready uplinks in a small footprint. With 8 10/100 Ethernet ports, it supports legacy and mixed-device environments where field equipment, controllers, and embedded systems still depend on Fast Ethernet. The 2 TSFP slots provide uplink flexibility for fiber connections, helping extend network reach and isolate traffic between cabinets, lines, or remote enclosures. This class of industrial switch is a strong fit when downtime carries real cost. It is suited to environments that demand controlled segmentation, stable connectivity, and a form factor that can live close to the equipment it serves. For teams standardizing industrial access switching, the IE 3000 family offers the kind of practical port mix that keeps integration simple while preserving room for growth at the edge.
