Cisco IE-9310-26S2C-E Industrial Switch, 24 SFP + 4 Uplink | Gigabit — IE-9310-26S2C-E=

Keep fiber-based industrial networks organized, resilient, and easier to scale. The Cisco IE-9310-26S2C-E combines 24 GE SFP downlinks with 4 GE SFP uplinks, making it a strong fit for aggregation points where copper runs are impractical and uptime matters more than port count alone. This model is designed for environments that need compact switching with clean fiber handoffs between field devices, cabinets, and upstream network layers. The SFP-based architecture supports flexible media choices and simplifies deployment across distributed industrial sites, while the uplink design helps preserve bandwidth for supervisory traffic, machine data, and remote monitoring. For teams standardizing on Cisco in operational networks, this switch offers the port mix needed to build predictable, segmented infrastructure without overbuying capacity. It is well suited to applications where reliability, fiber reach, and controlled expansion justify a premium over basic access switches. Ideal For Industrial aggregation for fiber-connected field devices Network distribution in utility substations and control cabinets Plant-floor segmentation for automation and monitoring traffic Transportation or infrastructure edge switching with SFP uplinks Why This Product 1 More fiber ports than basic industrial access switches 2 Dedicated SFP uplinks for cleaner aggregation design 3 Cisco platform fit for operational network standardization 4 Better suited to fiber-heavy sites than copper-only models
