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-L is a DIN rail-mounted industrial switch from Cisco, featuring 8 Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports and 2 Fast Ethernet combo uplink ports (SFP/RJ45). It supports transmission speeds up to 7.6 Gbps switching capacity with a forwarding rate of 5.66 Mpps for 64-byte packets,This model provides dual-input DC power for redundancy and accommodates deployment in space-constrained or rugged environments via its compact form factor. With support for up to 1005 VLANs and a MAC address table size of 8000 entries, the unit allows for segmented traffic management in systems requiring moderate port density. The unit's design facilitates integration using both copper or fiber through its dual-purpose SFP/RJ45 uplinks depending on application requirements.
