The Cisco Industrial Ethernet (IE) 4000 Series provides superior high-bandwidth switching and proven Cisco IOS Software-based routing capabilities for industrial environments. The IE 4000 Series delivers highly secure access and industry-leading convergence using the Cisco Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) and is built to withstand extreme environments while adhering to overall IT network design, compliance, and performance requirements.
The IE 4000 Series is ideal for industrial Ethernet applications where hardened products are required, including factory automation, energy and process control, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), oil and gas field sites, city surveillance programs, and mining. With improved overall performance, greater bandwidth, a richer feature set, and enhanced hardware, the Cisco IE 4000 Series complements the current industrial Ethernet portfolio of related Cisco industrial switches, such as the Cisco IE 2000 and IE 3000.
The Cisco IE 4000 can easily be installed in your network. Through a user-friendly web device manager, the Cisco IE 4000 provides easy out-of-the-box configuration and simplified operational manageability to deliver advanced security, data, video, and voice services over industrial networks.
Robust industrial design
It is built for harsh environment and temperature range (-40 to 70 C). It is hardened for vibration, shock and surge, and noise immunity. It has resilient dual ring design via 4x Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports and complies with multi-industry specifications for automation, ITS, and substation environments. It also improves uptime, performance, and safety of industrial systems and equipment. It is fitted with compact, PLC (Programmable Logic Control) style DIN rail compliant form factor ideal for industrial deployment.
User-friendly GUI device manager
It allows easily configuration and monitoring via a web browser. It also eliminates the need for more complex terminal emulation programs.
SwapDrive: "Zero-Config" replacement
It has simple switch replacement in case of a failure. It helps ensure fast recovery.
High-density industrial power over Ethernet (PoE)
It reduces complexity with one cable for both connectivity and power. It controls costs by limiting wiring, distribution panels, and circuit breakers. It also creates space and reduces heat dissipation. It enables ready-to-use PoE devices like IP phones and wireless access points.
Full Gigabit Ethernet switch
It connects the wireless access point (802.11n and 802.11ac), enables HD IP Cameras and the PLC (Programmable Logic Control), allows SCADA (Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition) connectivity. It also provides introduction of the bandwidth-hungry applications in the industrial space and delivers multiple rings, redundant ring topology for the network configurations. It extends geographical scalability where longer distance connectivity is required.
