Cisco IE-9310-26S2C-A= Industrial Switch, 24 SFP Downlinks | Enterprise — IE-9310-26S2C-A=

Keep operational networks organized at the edge. Cisco IE-9310-26S2C-A= combines 24 GE SFP downlinks with 4 GE SFP uplinks to support industrial environments that depend on fiber connectivity and structured access-layer design. This model is well suited to deployments where copper is a poor fit and where endpoint density must be handled without adding layers of unmanaged hardware. The all-SFP architecture supports longer runs, cleaner isolation, and easier integration across cabinets, panels, and remote enclosures. With 24 downlinks, it can serve multiple devices from a single switching point. The 4 uplinks give network teams flexibility for upstream paths, segmentation, or redundancy planning. For organizations standardizing industrial infrastructure, this switch offers a practical balance of port density and fiber-centric design. It is a strong choice when the network must stay serviceable in plant-floor, utility, transportation, or remote facility environments, and when the access layer needs to justify a higher-value Cisco platform rather than a commodity alternative. Ideal For Industrial automation networks with fiber-connected field devices Utility and energy sites requiring long-distance access switching Transportation control cabinets with segmented uplink paths Remote edge enclosures where compact fiber switching is preferred Why This Product 1 All-SFP port design for fiber-first industrial networks 2 Higher port density than small access switches 3 Cisco platform fit for standardized enterprise edge deployments 4 Better suited to distributed cabinets than office-grade switches
