The ethernet switch offers 24Gbit PoE/PoE+ capable ports, making it suitable for use as access switches in industrial environments to connect high definition IP cameras, Access Points and IP phones. 

These switches provide high-bandwidth switching (Layer 2) and proven Cisco IOS Software-based routing (Layer 3) capabilities.

There are a range of security features and access control, as well as supporting Cisco TrustSec and link-layer MACsec encryption to protect data traffic across the network.
