Cisco IE 1000 Series Industrial 6 Ports PoE+ Ethernet Switch

The Cisco IE-1000-4P2S-LM is an industrial Ethernet switch designed for operational technology teams that need reliable network connectivity without complex setup. It provides six total ports, combining four copper PoE+ interfaces for data and power with two SFP slots that accept fiber modules for longer-reach uplinks.

Each PoE+ port delivers Gigabit speed while powering devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, sensors, and controllers, eliminating the need for separate power runs. The two SFP uplinks make it easy to connect distant control rooms or aggregation switches, keeping critical traffic flowing even across large sites.

Cisco’s built-in graphical user interface guides users through VLAN, quality-of-service, and security settings, so plant engineers and maintenance personnel can bring the switch online quickly without specialist assistance. Remote management capabilities allow technicians to monitor the unit and push updates from a central location, reducing on-site visits.

The enclosure mounts directly on a DIN rail and operates on 48 to 54 VDC, a common industrial power range. Its construction is built to tolerate vibration, temperature extremes, and airborne contaminants that are typical on factory floors, inside roadside cabinets, or within building automation panels.

With 128 MB of DDR2 memory and 160 MB of flash, the switch stores configurations and firmware locally, simplifying upgrades and providing room for future features. Taken together, these attributes give manufacturers, transportation operators, and facility managers a compact networking platform that fits easily into modern and legacy installations alike.

Highlights:

• Four 10/100/1000 PoE+ Ethernet ports supply both data and power to edge devices
• Two 1000Base-X SFP uplinks support fiber connections for long-distance or noise-sensitive links
• Managed switch with an intuitive web-based GUI for quick configuration and monitoring
• DIN rail mounting simplifies installation in control cabinets and tight spaces
• PoE+ capability reduces cabling by delivering power over the same copper that carries data
• 128 MB DDR2 RAM and 160 MB flash provide local storage for firmware and settings
• Accepts 48 to 54 VDC input power commonly available in industrial environments
• Engineered for reliable operation in harsh conditions found in factories, transportation systems, and building infrastructure
