Cisco IE 3000 Switch 8x10/100 + 2 TSFP | Industrial Ethernet — CON-L1NBD-VEDGE1MZ

Keep critical operations connected with the Cisco IE 3000 switch platform, designed for industrial access switching where uptime and network segmentation matter. This model combines 8 10/100 Ethernet ports with 2 TSFP uplink slots, giving you a compact way to connect controllers, HMIs, sensors, and other edge devices while preserving fiber-backed uplink options for longer runs or upstream aggregation. For industrial teams, the value is in the fit: a purpose-built switch for environments that need more than office-grade hardware. The IE 3000 family is commonly selected for factory automation, utility infrastructure, and other distributed control deployments where network access must remain stable under tougher conditions than standard enterprise closets. The dual TSFP design helps separate access and uplink traffic, while the manageable platform supports network control and operational visibility. When you are standardizing edge infrastructure, this switch offers a practical balance of port density, uplink flexibility, and industrial positioning. It is a strong choice when you need dependable Fast Ethernet access and fiber expansion without moving to a larger or more expensive platform than the application requires. Ideal For Connect PLCs, HMIs, and sensors in factory automation cells Provide fiber uplinks from control cabinets to aggregation switches Support distributed industrial Ethernet in utility and infrastructure sites Replace aging access switches in legacy Fast Ethernet environments Why This Product 1 More suitable for industrial edge use than office-grade access switches 2 Adds 2 TSFP uplinks for fiber connectivity 3 Supports legacy 10/100 endpoints without unnecessary port overprovisioning 4 Fits control-cabinet deployments where compact managed switching matters
