IE-3300-8T2X-A

Technical Parameters of IE-3300-8T2X-A

1. Port Configuration

• Copper Ports: There are 8 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports (RJ - 45 interface). These ports are suitable for connecting various Ethernet - enabled devices such as industrial PCs, sensors, and actuators, providing a reliable data transmission channel with a data rate of up to 1 Gbps.

• Fiber Ports: It is equipped with 2 10 Gigabit Ethernet fiber uplink ports. These fiber ports support high - speed, long - distance data transmission, and are ideal for backbone network connections or connections to remote devices, ensuring high - bandwidth communication.

2. Performance

• Data Throughput: The switch offers high - speed data forwarding capabilities. The Gigabit copper ports can handle large - volume data traffic at a rate of 1 Gbps each, while the 10 Gigabit fiber ports can achieve a throughput of up to 10 Gbps, ensuring smooth data flow within the network.

• Backplane Bandwidth: It has a high - performance backplane bandwidth that enables non - blocking data forwarding between ports, minimizing data latency and ensuring efficient network operation.

3. Security Features

• MACsec Encryption: Supports Media Access Control Security (MACsec) encryption with 256 - bit keys. This technology encrypts data at the data - link layer, protecting it from eavesdropping and tampering during transmission, ensuring the security of industrial network communication.

• Access Control: Provides various access control mechanisms, such as port - based access control, MAC address filtering, and IP address filtering. These mechanisms help prevent unauthorized access to the network, enhancing network security.

4. Routing and Switching Functions

• Layer 3 Routing: The IE - 3300 - 8T2X - A supports Layer 3 routing protocols, enabling it to perform routing functions between different IP sub - networks. This allows for the creation of more complex and flexible network topologies, facilitating communication between different parts of the industrial network.

• VLAN Support: It supports Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN) technology, which can divide the network into multiple logical sub - networks. VLANs help improve network management efficiency, enhance security by isolating traffic, and optimize network performance.

5. Environmental Adaptability

• Operating Temperature Range: Designed to operate in a wide temperature range, typically from - 40°C to 75°C. This makes it suitable for use in harsh industrial environments where temperature fluctuations are common.

• Humidity Resistance: Can withstand high humidity levels without significant performance degradation, ensuring reliable operation in damp industrial settings.

• Shock and Vibration Resistance: The switch is built with a rugged design to resist shock and vibration. This is crucial for industrial applications where the equipment may be subject to mechanical disturbances.

6. Management Features

• Web - Based Management: It comes with a user - friendly web - based management interface, allowing administrators to configure and manage the switch easily through a web browser. This interface provides a convenient way to set up port parameters, security settings, and routing functions.

• SNMP Support: Supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), enabling remote monitoring and management of the switch. Network administrators can use SNMP - compatible management software to monitor the switch's status, performance metrics, and configuration settings, facilitating centralized network management.

7. Power Supply

• Power Input: The switch supports a wide range of power input options, including redundant power supplies in some configurations. This ensures continuous operation even in the event of a power supply failure, enhancing the reliability of the network.
