Boost Speeds, Reduce Downtime

Features and Capabilities

The IE5000 Series is built to withstand extreme environments while adhering to overall IT network design, compliance, and performance requirements. These switches are ideal for industrial Ethernet applications where hardened highly scalable products are required. Examples include:

• Factory automation
• Power utility substations
• Intelligent transportation systems (ITS)
• Oil and gas field sites
• Connected cities
• Mining

With improved performance, a more comprehensive feature set, and enhanced hardware, the 5000 Series offers superior bandwidth and capacity. Options include:

• 24 Gbps Ethernet (1 GE) ports (12 100/1000 Mbps SFP and 12 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE and PoE+ RJ-45-based) plus four 10-Gbps (10 GE) ports (SFP+)
• 24 Gbps Ethernet (1 GE) ports (12 100/1000 Mbps SFP and 12 10/100/1000 Mbps PoE and PoE+ RJ-45-based) plus four 1-Gbps (1 GE) ports (SFP)

Other Features

• High-density industrial PoE or PoE+ support for in-line power for up to 12 power devices
• Robust resiliency and enhanced security
• Cisco IOS Software features for smooth IT integration and policy consistency
• Simplified, pay-as-you-go software upgrades with universal software images

Benefits

• Reduced down-time
  High-availability technology facilitates network-wide resilience to increase IP network availability. This results in continuous access to applications, data, and content as organizations dramatically scale network size.
• Lower operating expenditure costs
  Zero-touch deployment and very simplified operations can enable switches to auto-discover and auto-configure new devices.
• Improved security
  Integrating cybersecurity throughout the network delivers extensive visibility and control. It also allows security policies to be enforced throughout the extended network, without creating traffic bottlenecks.
• Investment protection
  Software licensing offers new improved software features without hardware upgrades.

The IE5000 can be easily managed by Cisco Industrial Network Director, a network management system purpose built for industrial applications that uses the complete capabilities of the Cisco Industrial Ethernet product family to make the network easily accessible to non-IT operations personnel.
