Overview
The Cisco Industrial Ethernet (IE) 5000 Series switches with four 10 Gigabit or four 1 Gigabit Ethernet uplinks and 24 Gigabit Ethernet downlinks is a rack mount, ruggedized switch that provides Layer 2 and Layer 3 line rate aggregation and copper Power over Ethernet (PoE) connectivity in harsh industrial environments.¦The IE 5000 Series is ideal for Industrial Ethernet applications where hardened products are required. This includes utility industries, manufacturing, energy and process control, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), oil and gas field sites, city surveillance programs, and mining.
  • Bandwidth and capacity to grow with your networking needs thanks to high performance nonblocking switch capacity with up to 24 Gigabit Ethernet downlink ports and four 10 Gigabit or four 1 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports per switch
  • Cisco IOS Software features for smooth IT integration and policy consistency
  • Robust resiliency enabled by features, such as dual-ring design through four 10 Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports, REP, PRP, redundant power input, and dying gasp
  • Oven-controlled crystal oscillator (OCXO) to provide superior frequency stability needed for precise synchronization applications
  • Simplified software upgrade path with universal images
  • Integrated hardware support for features such as MacSec and HSR
