Technical Specifications

This appendix provides the technical specifications for the Cisco IE3500 Heavy Duty Series Switches.

Operating Temperature Specifications


Note
The safety certifications apply only to ambient temperatures under 140°F (60°C). However, the Cisco IE3500 Heavy Duty Series Switches can function in substation and traffic signal installations under the environmental conditions described in the table.

The table lists the operating temperatures for the Cisco IE3500 Heavy Duty Series Switches in three different environments.
