High-Density Fibre Connectivity

The IE-9320-22S2C4X-E provides 22 Gigabit SFP fibre downlinks together with two dual-media Gigabit ports that can be configured using either compatible SFP transceivers or RJ45 copper connections. Four 1/10Gb SFP+ uplinks provide high-speed connectivity to aggregation and backbone infrastructure.

Industrial Network Performance

With a forwarding rate of 95.23 Mpps, 64Gbps forwarding bandwidth and 128Gbps switching bandwidth, the switch is designed to handle demanding industrial Ethernet traffic while supporting resilient network architectures and high-speed fibre connectivity.

Industrial Timing and Synchronisation

The IE-9320-22S2C4X platform includes dedicated industrial timing capabilities, including GNSS/GPS and IRIG-B interfaces. Cisco also supports Precision Time Protocol functionality for applications requiring accurate network time synchronisation.

Industrial Protocol Support

The Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series supports industrial networking features and protocols including EtherNet/IP with CIP, PROFINET, Modbus TCP, PTP, REP and MRP. Additional resiliency functions such as HSR and PRP are supported on applicable configurations, subject to Cisco IOS XE release and software licence requirements.

Cisco StackWise

The IE-9320 platform supports Cisco StackWise and provides two dedicated stacking ports. Stacking allows compatible switches to operate as a more unified switching system, simplifying management and supporting resilient industrial network designs.

Network Essentials Licensing

The IE-9320-22S2C4X-E is supplied with Cisco Network Essentials licensing. Cisco offers Network Advantage as a higher software tier for additional advanced functionality, including broader Layer 3 routing capabilities. Feature availability should therefore be checked against the required Cisco IOS XE release and licence level.

Rugged Industrial Design

The conformal-coated chassis is designed for harsh operating environments and carries an IP30 enclosure rating. Cisco specifies operation down to -40°C, with maximum supported temperature depending on cabinet ventilation and installation conditions. Industrial standards support includes IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 for demanding infrastructure deployments.

Redundant Modular Power

The chassis provides two power-supply bays supporting field-replaceable redundant AC or DC power modules. This allows compatible dual-power configurations to be deployed for improved power resilience. Power-supply modules should be selected separately according to the installation's input and power requirements.

Management and Service Interfaces

• 1 × RJ45 RS-232 console port
• 1 × Micro-USB console port
• USB host interface
• SD card slot
• 4 × dry-contact alarm inputs
• 1 × dry-contact Form-C relay alarm output
• 2 × Cisco StackWise ports

What's in the Box

• 1 × Cisco Catalyst IE-9320-22S2C4X-E Industrial Ethernet Switch

Power supplies, SFP/SFP+ transceivers, SD card and other optional accessories are not specified as included with the base chassis and should be selected separately as required.
