Series: Industrial Ethernet 2000

The Cisco IE-2000-16PTC-G-NX Managed Switch belongs to the Industrial Ethernet 2000 series, which is specifically designed to meet the demanding requirements of industrial environments. This series offers a reliable and secure network infrastructure for industrial automation, smart grid, transportation, and other industrial applications.

Reliability and Durability

Industrial Ethernet 2000 switches are built to withstand harsh conditions typically encountered in industrial settings. They have a ruggedized design that can operate in extreme temperatures, from -40°C to +75°C, ensuring reliable performance even in challenging environments. The switches are also resistant to shock and vibration, making them suitable for deployment in areas with heavy machinery or high levels of physical stress.

Advanced Security

Security is a critical concern in industrial networks, and the Industrial Ethernet 2000 series addresses this with advanced security features. These switches support secure authentication protocols such as 802.1x and MAC-based authentication, which help prevent unauthorized access to the network. They also offer port security and DHCP snooping capabilities, protecting against rogue devices and unauthorized DHCP servers.

Easy Network Management

The Industrial Ethernet 2000 switches provide easy network management through Cisco's intuitive web-based interface or command-line interface (CLI). This simplifies the configuration and monitoring of the network, allowing administrators to manage the switch operations efficiently. Network administrators can easily set up VLANs, QoS policies, and security settings to optimize network performance and ensure smooth operations.

Ports: 16

The Cisco IE-2000-16PTC-G-NX Managed Switch features 16 ports, providing ample connectivity options for various devices in an industrial network. These ports support both copper and fiber connections, giving users flexibility in designing their network infrastructure.

Increased Device Connectivity

With 16 ports, the switch allows users to connect multiple devices, such as industrial sensors, cameras, controllers, and other networked equipment. This enables efficient data collection, monitoring, and control of industrial processes. The switch's high port density eliminates the need for additional switches, reducing complexity and cost in network deployments.

Flexible Deployment Options

The availability of both copper and fiber ports gives users the flexibility to choose the most suitable connectivity option for their specific requirements. Copper ports are commonly used for short-distance connections within a facility, while fiber ports are ideal for long-distance links or installations in electrically noisy environments. The combination of copper and fiber ports ensures compatibility with various devices and facilitates seamless integration into existing network infrastructures.

Managed: 1

The Cisco IE-2000-16PTC-G-NX Managed Switch offers advanced management capabilities that empower users to control their industrial networks efficiently.

Enhanced Network Performance

A managed switch allows for more granular control over network traffic. Administrators can prioritize critical applications or devices by implementing Quality of Service (QoS) policies. This ensures that essential data flows smoothly without being affected by less important traffic. With the ability to manage bandwidth allocation, the switch optimizes network performance and minimizes latency, enhancing overall operational efficiency.

Remote Management and Monitoring

The managed switch enables remote management and monitoring of the industrial network. Through SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) or other management protocols, administrators can access the switch's configuration and monitor its performance from a central location. This capability is particularly beneficial for large-scale industrial deployments spread across multiple sites or remote locations, reducing the need for physical presence and saving time and resources.

Power Over Ethernet: 1

The Cisco IE-2000-16PTC-G-NX Managed Switch supports Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, providing power and data connectivity to compatible devices over a single Ethernet cable.

Simplified Installation

With PoE, there is no need for separate power cables for each connected device. This simplifies the installation process and reduces clutter, especially in areas where power outlets are limited or difficult to access. Users can conveniently deploy IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other PoE-enabled devices without worrying about power availability or complex wiring.

Cost Savings

PoE eliminates the need for additional power infrastructure, saving costs associated with electrical wiring and power outlets. It also reduces energy consumption by intelligently managing power delivery to connected devices. PoE switches can automatically detect the power requirements of each device and provide only the necessary amount of power, preventing wastage and optimizing energy efficiency.

Flexibility and Scalability

PoE technology offers flexibility and scalability in network deployments. Users can easily add or relocate PoE-enabled devices without the constraints of power availability. This flexibility allows for dynamic network expansion and reconfiguration, making it ideal for fast-paced industrial environments where equipment needs may change frequently.

The Cisco IE-2000-16PTC-G-NX Managed Switch brings together the powerful features of the Industrial Ethernet 2000 series, 16 ports, advanced management capabilities, and Power over Ethernet technology. With its rugged design, advanced security, easy network management, ample connectivity options, and PoE support, this switch is a reliable and efficient solution for industrial networks.
