Bias-Free Language
The documentation set for this product strives to use bias-free language. For the purposes of this documentation set, bias-free is defined as language that does not imply discrimination based on age, disability, gender, racial identity, ethnic identity, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, and intersectionality. Exceptions may be present in the documentation due to language that is hardcoded in the user interfaces of the product software, language used based on RFP documentation, or language that is used by a referenced third-party product.

The Cisco Catalyst™ IE3100 Heavy Duty Series delivers Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact, IP67 platform that is purpose-built for any industrial application in a wet, vibration-prone and space-constrained scenario.
Cisco® Catalyst IE3100 Heavy Duty Series switches deliver the advanced capability similar to the Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series, but now in environments with extreme exposure to dust, vibration, and water. The platform is built to withstand the harshest environments found in manufacturing, transportation, mining, and rail. This switch is ideal for space-constrained, vibration-prone, wet deployments often found on production floors, railways and trains, clean rooms, outdoor spaces, and entertainment venues such as theme parks. By providing reliable connectivity to data sources like sensors, cameras, and other equipment located in tight spaces and extreme conditions, Catalyst IE3100 Heavy Duty switches help build a network ready for the demanding requirements of software-defined automation and industrial AI.
The Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Heavy Duty Series switches are available in 8 Gigabit Ethernet (X-coded) or 6 Fast Ethernet (D-coded) with 2 Gigabit Ethernet (X-coded) M12 interfaces. The switches can be wall mounted in all orientations and deployed without the dependency on a housing cabinet.
The IE3100H Series switches run Cisco IOS® XE, an operating system with built-in security and trust, featuring Secure Boot, image signing, and the Cisco Trust Anchor module. Cisco IOS XE also provides API-driven configuration with open APIs and data models. Additionally, you can provide secure Zero-Trust Network Access (ZTNA) to industrial assets at scale with Cisco Secure Equipment Access.
The Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Heavy Duty Series can be managed with a powerful management tool, Cisco Catalyst Center, and can easily be set up with a user-friendly modern GUI tool called WebUI.
The IE3100 Heavy Duty Series switches offer:
● Robust resiliency enabled by features such as Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP) or Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP)
● Support for removable media (SD card) for local backups and fast recovery
● Simplified software management with universal images
● Support for industrial automation protocols Ethernet/IP (CIP), Modbus, and PROFINET
