Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series switches deliver high-speed up to 10 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 IE3300 Rugged Series offers the flexibility to expand to up to 26 ports of Gigabit Ethernet or up to 24 ports of Gigabit Ethernet and 2 ports of 10 Gigabit (10G) 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 IE3300 platform is also ideal for extended enterprise deployments in outdoor spaces, warehouses, and distribution centers.

These switches run 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 IE3300 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 IE3300 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.

The Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series delivers power over Ethernet (PoE) over up to 24 ports (with expansion module) to easily connect and power end devices such as IP cameras, phones, wireless access points, sensors, and more. The Gigabit series supports power budget of up to 360W for PoE/PoE+ and the 10G series of up to 480W for IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at / 802.3bt (type 3 and type 4) to power the most advanced devices.
