Overview Resources

Extend high-performance networking to extreme environments

Connect, secure, and innovate with Cisco Industrial Ethernet switches

Get 10 Gigabit Ethernet (GE) fiber ports and high-wattage PoE in an IP66/IP67-rated enclosure, and enjoy secure, high-bandwidth connectivity outdoors and in harsh industrial environments.

Count on reliable PoE in demanding conditions

Simplify deployments and maintain operational continuity in challenging environments by delivering reliable high-wattage PoE to critical devices such as AI-enabled cameras and sensors, eliminating the need for separate power runs.

Benefit from software-defined industrial automation

Implement software-defined automation with switches that deliver low jitter, high throughput, Layer 3 fabrics, and an embedded Cisco ThousandEyes agent to monitor device-to-cloud network performance for faster issue resolution.

Unleash industrial AI

Build a robust network to feed industrial AI applications with high-volume data streams from machines and industrial control systems. Deploy and scale with ease with centralized management, using Cisco Catalyst Center.

Securely connect your OT to IT and cloud resources

Protect operations with comprehensive network security built-in: Cisco Cyber Vision for OT visibility, Cisco TrustSec microsegmentation, and Cisco Secure Equipment Access for zero-trust remote access.
