The Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 (IE 2000) Series is a range of compact, ruggedized access switches that handle security, voice, and video traffic across industrial networks. They provide customers in industries such as automotive, oil and gas, mining, transportation, and energy with highly secure access and industry-leading convergence using Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP).
The Cisco IE-2000-8TC-B is a feature-rich industrial Ethernet switch offering 8 Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports and 2 FE combo uplink options,It supports up to 255 VLANs, providing robust network segmentation for diverse system applications. The device delivers a forwarding rate of 6.5 million packets per second (Mpps), ensuring efficient data transmission across connected devices in high-demand scenarios. With an extensive MAC address table size supporting up to 8,000 entries, it handles complex traffic flows with reliability and scalability potential as networks expand over time.
