The Cisco Industrial Ethernet 4000 Series delivers superior, high-bandwidth switching capacity designed to future-proof extreme operational technology settings. Operating on reliable Cisco IOS Software, the IE 4000 brings enterprise-level security policies, advanced Layer 3 routing, and network visibility tools directly to the edge of factory automation and infrastructure networks.

Built strictly fanless inside a rugged IP30 aluminum housing, this platform handles intensive bandwidth needs from HD IP surveillance cameras, intelligent traffic loops, and wireless access points. Featuring advanced redundancy mechanisms like Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP) and Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), the IE 4000 guarantees sub-second link recovery. This prevents expensive production line shutdowns or system-wide communication failures.
