Console Adapter - USB to RJ45
Product overview
The Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series delivers high-speed Gigabit Ethernet connectivity in a compact form factor and is designed for a wide range of industrial applications where hardened products are required. The platform is built to withstand harsh environments in manufacturing, energy, transportation, mining, smart cities, and oil and gas. The IE3200 platform is also ideal for extended enterprise deployments in outdoor spaces, warehouses, and distribution centers.
These switches run Cisco IOS® XE, a next-generation operating system with built-in security and trust, featuring secure boot, image signing, and a Cisco® Trust anchor module. Cisco IOS® XE also provides API-driven configuration with open APIs and data models.
The Cisco Catalyst IE3200 Rugged Series can be managed with powerful management tools such as Cisco Catalyst Center, and can be easily set up with a completely redesigned, user-friendly, modern GUI tool called WebUI.
The IE3200 series supports power budget of up to 240W for PoE/PoE+, shared across 8 ports, and is ideal for connecting PoE-powered end devices such as IP cameras, phones, wireless access points, sensors, and more.
