The Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series switches deliver advanced, high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact form factor, and are designed for a wide range of industrial applications where hardened products are required. The modular design of the Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series offers the flexibility to expand up to 26 ports of Gigabit Ethernet with a range of expansion module options. The platform is built to withstand harsh environments in manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining, smart cities, and oil and gas. The IE3400 platform is also ideal for extended enterprise deployments in outdoor spaces, warehouses, and distribution centers.

The IE3400 Series runs Cisco IOS XE, a next-generation operating system with built-in security and trust, featuring secure boot, image signing, and the Cisco Trust anchor module. Cisco IOS XE also provides API-driven configuration with open APIs and data models. The Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series can be managed with powerful management tools such as Cisco Catalyst Center, and can be easily set up with a completely redesigned, user-friendly, modern GUI tool called WebUI. The platform also supports Full Flexible NetFlow (FNF) for real-time visibility into traffic patterns and threat analysis with Cisco Secure Network Analytics.

The Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series offers edge compute capabilities to run IOx applications, enabling new capabilities in the OT network with no impact on switching performance. Choose between Cisco Cyber Vision to improve visibility of connected industrial assets or provide secure Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to industrial assets at scale with Secure Equipment Access. Robust Resiliency enabled by feature such as Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), Device Level Ring (DLR) and dual-input power supplies. The IE3400 series (with expansion module) supports power budget of up to 480W for PoE/PoE+, shared across 24 ports, and is ideal for connecting PoE-powered end devices such as IP cameras, phones, wireless access points, sensors, and more.
