It features 8 Gigabit RJ45 downlinks with PoE/PoE+ and 3 fixed 1G/100M SFP uplinks, delivering reliable line-rate performance in a compact, fanless IP30 DIN-rail form factor. With a 240 W base PoE budget—expandable to 480 W via an optional module—it powers cameras, sensors, and access points. Running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials license, it provides foundational Layer 2/Layer 3 capabilities, supports modular expansion via IEM modules (up to 27 ports), and integrates with Cisco Catalyst Center for streamlined operations. Key Features: 8 × Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Ports: Power and data for industrial endpoints, 240 W base PoE (expandable to 480 W with an optional module). 3 × 1G/100M SFP Uplinks: Flexible fiber uplinks for reliable aggregation/backbone connectivity. Ruggedized, Fanless Design (IP30, −40°C to +75°C): Reliable operation in harsh, space-constrained sites with DIN-rail mounting. Layer 2 & Layer 3 with Network Essentials: Foundational routing/segmentation features suited for OT/IT convergence (license-dependent). Easy Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center). Technical Overview: Recommended for: Industrial and OT edge deployments requiring robust PoE and fiber uplinks (IP30, fanless DIN-rail). Ports: 8 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 (PoE/PoE+) downlinks with 3 × 1G/100M SFP uplinks. PoE Budget: 240 W (base); up to 480 W with expansion module. Switching Capacity: — Forwarding Rate: Line-rate on all ports (all packet sizes). Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center). Security: Feature set aligned with license tier (Network Essentials); see datasheet for details. Energy Efficiency: Fanless, low-power operation with typical draw ~42 W (excluding PoE).
