Cisco IE-5000-16S12P= Industrial Ethernet Switch, 12x

The Cisco® Industrial Ethernet (IE) 5 Series Switches with four 1 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 the harshest of industrial environments.

The IE 5 Series uses superior high-bandwidth hardware switching and proven Cisco IOS® Software. The IE 5 is highly secure and scalable for access and aggregation layer deployments. It also provides Cisco stackable technologies for advanced network reliability. The switch is built to withstand extreme environments while adhering to overall ITnetwork design, compliance, and performance requirements.

The IE 5 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. With improved overall performance, greater bandwidth with available 1 Gigabit Ethernet interfaces, a richer feature set, and enhanced hardware, the Cisco IE 5 Series Switches complement the current Industrial Ethernet portfolio of products. This portfolio includes Cisco industrial Ethernet switches, such as the Cisco IE 2, IE 3, IE 31, IE 4, and IE 41 Series Switches, as well as utility- focused products, such as the Cisco IE 2U Industrial Ethernet switches and Cisco 25 Series Connected Grid Switches.

Through a user-friendly web device manager, the IE 5 provides easy out-of-the-box configuration and simplified operational manageability to deliver advanced security, data, video, and voice services over industrial networks.
