Cisco IE-4010-16S12P Industrial Ethernet Switch

What It Is

The Cisco IE-4010-16S12P is an industrial Ethernet switch from the Cisco IE 4010 series, designed for deployment in rugged and space-constrained environments. This model provides a combination of Gigabit Ethernet copper and SFP fiber ports, with Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) support for connected devices. It is a managed, Layer 2/Layer 3 capable switch intended for industrial networking within local area networks (LANs).

Technical Details

• Ports: 12 x GE SFP (fiber) ports, 12 x GE Copper PoE+ ports, and 4 x GE SFP uplink ports
• PoE+ Support: 12 copper ports deliver Power over Ethernet Plus (802.3at) for powered devices
• Uplink Connectivity: 4 dedicated Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplink ports for network aggregation or backbone links
• Form Factor: Industrial-grade compact chassis, suitable for DIN-rail or panel mounting
• Switch Class: Managed industrial Ethernet switch, Cisco IE 4010 series
• Interface Type: Combination of SFP fiber (12+4) and RJ-45 copper PoE+ (12) interfaces

Configuration & Options

• Model Number: IE-4010-16S12P (as per Cisco ordering information)
• Port Mix: Fixed configuration with 12 SFP, 12 PoE+ copper, and 4 SFP uplink ports (total 28 ports)
• Media Support: SFP modules for fiber optic connections (100/1000 Mbps) and standard copper cabling for PoE+ endpoints
• Software Features: Includes industrial networking protocols and management capabilities typical of Cisco IE 4010 series

Operating Conditions

This switch is engineered for industrial environments, including factory floors, utility substations, and outdoor enclosures. It is designed to withstand extended temperature ranges, vibration, and electrical noise, making it suitable for deployment in manufacturing plants, transportation systems, and smart grid infrastructure. The PoE+ ports enable direct powering of IP cameras, wireless access points, and other field devices without additional power infrastructure.
