Overview
This switch provides a rugged and secure switching infrastructure for harsh environments. It is suitable for industrial
Ethernet applications, including factory automation, intelligent transportation systems (ITSs), substations, oil and gas
installations, and other deployments in harsh environments.
You can connect this switch to office networking devices such as Cisco IP phones, Cisco Wireless Access Points
workstations, and other devices such as servers, routers, and other switches. In industrial environments, you can connect
any Ethernet-enabled industrial communication devices, including programmable logic controllers (PLCs),
human-machine interfaces (HMIs), drives, sensors, video devices, traffic signal controllers, and intelligent electronic
devices (IEDs).
You can mount the switch on a DIN rail in an industrial enclosure. Its components are designed to withstand extremes in
temperature, vibration, and shock common to industrial environments.
