Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000U Series Switches

A Compact Switch Designed for Harsh Environments

The Cisco Industrial Ethernet (IE) 2000U Series Switch is a rugged, compact, DIN rail-mountable switch optimized for use in transmission and distribution power substations and distribution generation facilities like wind and solar farms.

Features and Capabilities

Cisco IE 2000U Series Switches (IE 2000U) work in the harsh environments common in transmission and distribution substations, including small cabinets in space0-constrained locations such as pole-top applications. The IE 2000U uses Cisco IOS Software, the operating system that powers millions of Cisco switches worldwide.

Primary features include:

• Rugged industrial design and substation compliance - IEC-61850-3 and IEEE 1613 for utility substation environments
• Advanced QoS capabilities to support mission-critical substation applications such as supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and IEC 61850 Generic Object-Oriented Substation Events (GOOSE) messaging
• Precision Timing Protocol(PTP) applications based on IEEE 1588 v2 standards

IE 2000U Switches provide:

• Hitless failover protocol support based on IEC 62439-3 (PRP/HSR)
• Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) and Flexlink for fast re-convergence in ring and hub-and-spoke topologies
• Smartport templates for one-touch global and port-level macros to simplify switch deployments

Use the rugged IE 2000U switches along with the CGS 2520 Connected Grid Switches and the Cisco 2000 Series Connected Grid Router
