The Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Router is a next-generation modular industrial router, which has a base platform with additional pluggable modules that can be added. The pluggable modules provide the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the IR1101 platform, for example, a cellular module, which provides 5G and Fourth-Generation Long-Term Evolution (4G LTE) cellular networks.

The IR1101 also has expansion modules that adds key capabilities to the IR1101. The expansion modules are:

The Cisco Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Series Router is a modular industrial router. The IR1800 series has four base platforms with additional pluggable modules that can be added. The pluggable modules provide the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the base platform.

The IR1800 series consists of four base platforms:

• IR1821

• IR1831

• IR1833

• IR1835

The IR1800 series features a base platform with modularity, which includes:

• 8GB Flash Storage

• GPS onboard receiver

• 900-MHz WPAN – OFDM/FSK Module

• mSATA module

• 1x 1-Gigabit Ethernet SFP WAN

• 1x 1-Gigabit Ethernet Cu WAN

• PoE (15 W) supported only in the IR8140H-P-K9 PID

• 12VDC_OUT port (only available when PoE is not in use)

• Battery Backup Units (BBUs): Up to three

• 2x Alarm ports (Digital I/O)

• IRMH modules for CAT 4 LTE, CAT 6 LTE, CAT 18 LTE, and 5G

The Cisco Catalyst IR8340 Rugged Series Router, is the first all-in-one industrial-grade, integrated routing, switching, and security platform.

The IR8340 router features two Pluggable Interface Module (PIM) slots, two single-wide IRM-NIM slots, plus 12 onboard LAN ports, and two WAN ports, and supports the following:

• 150W or 250W PSU, low-voltage DC and high-voltage AC/DC options

• PTP on LAN ports - Default, power and Dot1as profiles

• Dual slots for 5G and 4G LTE PIM

• T1/E1 Network Interface Modules (NIM)

• 8-port Asynchronous/Synchronous Network Interface Module (NIM) IRM-NIM-RS232

• mSATA module

• 2 x 1-G Combo WAN ports

• 4 x 1-G Copper LAN ports

• 4 x 1-G Combo LAN ports

• 4 x 1-G SFP LAN ports

• PoE PoE+ UPoE (up to 60 W) support on LAN ports 1-4

• 2 x IN and 1 x OUT Alarm ports (RJ45)

The ESR6300 is a small form factor embedded router module with a board size of 3.0 in. x 3.775 in. (76.2 mm x 95.885 mm).

The more compact design simplifies integration and offers system integrators the ability to use the Cisco ESR6300 in a wide variety of embedded applications. The ESR module is available with a Cisco-designed cooling plate customized to the ESR, as well as without the cooling plate for system integrators who want to design their own custom thermal solution.

There are two ESR6300 SKUs:

• ESR-6300-NCP-K9: Embedded Router Board without a cooling plate

• ESR-6300-CON-K9: Embedded Router Board with a cooling plate

Both SKUs offer the following port and module interfaces:

• Four GE LAN ports

• Two combo GE WAN ports

• One USB 3.0 port

• One mSATA module interface
