Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series Module, 16 Non-PoE Copper

The Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series Module, 16 Non-PoE Copper, is purpose-built for network engineers who demand durable, dependable connectivity in challenging environments. Designed to extend edge and access-layer capabilities, this 16-port copper module delivers reliable, non-PoE Ethernet access that thrives in industrial settings, outdoor cabinets, and field deployments. Built to integrate seamlessly with the Cisco IE3300 Rugged Series, it combines rugged hardware with Cisco’s trusted networking software for straightforward management, robust performance, and long-term scalability. If your project requires solid 10/100 copper connectivity without PoE, this module offers a dependable, cost-efficient solution that aligns with Cisco’s engineering standards and your network’s growing needs.

• 16 x 10/100 Mbps copper Ethernet ports (RJ-45) provide spacious, scalable access at the edge, simplifying cabling and deployment in compact chassis environments. These ports support reliable, low-latency connectivity suitable for industrial sensors, control networks, and office-floor devices that don’t require PoE power.

• Non-PoE design preserves power budgets and minimizes heat output by delivering dedicated copper access without PoE functionality. This is ideal for environments where IP devices do not need power over Ethernet, helping you allocate power resources precisely where they are needed while maintaining performance and stability.

• Rugged industrial build supports operation in harsh conditions, with a chassis-friendly form factor that resists dust, vibration, and temperature fluctuations typical of factories, outdoor enclosures, and remote sites. The module is engineered to endure the rigors of daily field use while maintaining consistent performance and uptime.

• Seamless Cisco management integration enables consistent configuration, monitoring, and troubleshooting. Leveraging Cisco’s IOS-based interfaces, you can deploy familiar CLI commands, use SNMP-based monitoring, and integrate with existing network management systems, reducing training time and accelerating incident resolution.

• Plug-in modularity supports flexible deployment and easier maintenance. As part of the IE3300 Rugged Series, this module can be inserted or replaced with minimal downtime, enabling quick scaling and service restoration in the field without a full chassis rebuild.

How to install Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series Module, 16 Non-PoE Copper

• Power down the Cisco IE3300 chassis or follow your organization’s standard hardware maintenance procedure to minimize downtime and avoid static discharge.
• Verify you have the correct spare slot and that the area around the chassis is clear of obstructions before opening the enclosure.
• Remove the slot cover for the intended module bay and check that the mating connector aligns with the module’s edge connectors.
• Carefully align the module with the slot and insert it firmly until it seats with a click or until it is fully seated in the backplane. If your chassis uses a locking screw, tighten it securely to ensure a stable connection.
• Re-seat any protective covers, restore power, and monitor the device LEDs to confirm link establishment and port activity. Access the CLI or your preferred management tool to verify port status, speed negotiation, and basic reachability.
