Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series Switches vs. Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches

Like I said, it's well for outdoor environments they hold up pretty well in the harsh Georgia heat. We use a number of them indoors as well. Don't really have any negative comments about the product.

As the Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series Switches do not come with a fan, it is really good for the environment that requires quietness, as these switches are super quiet, not even with any air flow noise. Of course, if you are going to deploy it to a hot, humid environment, that's a no brainer. Plus, those switches have some built-in POE ports that make them quite handy for connecting PoE CCTV cameras and VoIP phones

• First of all, if I encounter something, it's really easy for me to find an answer from Google. That's because that's a very famous company, lots of people using that. And for example, what if we have a bot or something? Hard questions, hard problems. It's really easy to find out from the outside world because everybody use it.

• We would love to see 10 gig ports as well as 10 gig uplinks. That's our biggest issue with that device.

• I don't know what we can do better with the 9300. There is always room for improvement.

The device works as intended with little to no issues we have experienced.

They allow for more custimization. We use the 3100s because they are cheaper, but the 3300's are nice because they allow for more and different port density.

Compared to the Cisco Industrial Ethernet switch IE2000, those Catalyst Industrial IE9300 switches provide high port density, 24 ports vs 8 ports on the Cisco Industrial Ethernet switch IE2000, PoE functions with high PoE budget without any external power injectors, more flexible with the uplink ports (4x1GSFPs), can be fibered up, and of course in that case, higher throughput

We did like the ability to be able to expand the ports, but there were some downsides to that because the racking in the space can be an issue if you don't have that ahead of time.

Incentivized

• Alignment with current technology stack means cost savings on retraining and upskilling staff
• Ease of use to manage and integration with our existing product - less administrative overhead

Incentivized

• It has a positive impact. I don't see anything wrong with 9300.
