The Cisco® Industrial Ethernet (IE) 1 Series Switches are compact rugged switches aimed to operational technology (OT) users with limited IT network knowledge. The IE 1 Series Switches provide an easy transformation from the legacy factory to digital solution. For machine builders and machine-to-machine (M2M) solutions is an attractive entry level product as a GUI-based, lightly-managed switch. The IE 1 is a good fit for locations with harsh temperatures and small spaces, and is Power over Ethernet (PoE) capable with and zero IT management.
The IE 1 is ideal for industrial Ethernet applications where small and easy-to-be-managed hardened products are required, including factory automation, intelligent transportation systems, city-surveillance programs, building automations etc.
The Cisco IE 1 Series Switches complement the current industrial Ethernet portfolio of related Cisco industrial switches, such as the Cisco IE 2, IE 3, IE 4 and IE 5 Series managed Switches.
The IE 1 can be easily installed on your network. Through a user-friendly web device manager, the IE 1 provides easy out-of-the-box configuration and simplified operational manageability to deliver advanced and secure multiservices over industrial networks.
