IE-9310-26S2C-E Description
IE-9310-26S2C-E is a Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series industrial Ethernet switch for rack-mounted fiber access deployments, combining the Network Essentials software tier with 22 100/1000M SFP downlinks, 2 dual-media 100/1000M SFP-or-10/100/1000M RJ45 downlink ports, and 4 1G SFP uplinks. Cisco positions this IE9310 GE Fiber model as a standalone platform without stacking support, and the hardware supports two field-replaceable redundant AC or DC power supplies for industrial sites that need resilient power design.

Key Features
IE-9310-26S2C-E is the Network Essentials orderable SKU for the IE9310 GE fiber hardware, so it fits BOMs that do not need the Network Advantage default tier.
The downlink group is built around 22 GE SFP ports plus 2 GE dual-media ports, which lets buyers plan fiber access links while checking whether each combo position should use its SFP or copper side.
The uplink group is 4 x 1G SFP rather than 10G SFP+, making IE-9320-22S2C4X-E the official comparison point when the uplink design requires 10G fiber.
Cisco marks the IE-9310-26S2C-E model without stacking support, while the closest IE9320 GE fiber SKU keeps Network Essentials and adds stackable operation.
The IE9300 chassis supports two field-replaceable redundant AC or DC power supplies, with one supply required for system operation and a second supply used for redundancy.
Cisco lists an SD-card slot, USB-A host port, RJ-45 console, Micro-USB console, 4 dry-contact alarm inputs, and 1 dry-contact Form-C relay alarm output for the IE9300 platform.
Application Scenarios
IE-9310-26S2C-E fits rack-mounted industrial cabinets where many plant, utility, transportation, or outdoor aggregation links terminate on 1G SFP fiber rather than RJ45 copper.
The SKU suits projects that standardize the IE9300 access layer on Network Essentials and keep any Network Advantage or Catalyst Center entitlement as a separately checked software decision.
Deployed as a standalone IE9310 GE fiber switch node; stacking requirements move the design to IE-9320-26S2C-E and 10G SFP+ uplink requirements to IE-9320-22S2C4X-E.

- In an IE-9310-26S2C-E vs IE-9310-26S2C-A comparison, the GE SFP hardware and performance values match; the difference is Network Essentials on IE-9310-26S2C-E versus Network Advantage on IE-9310-26S2C-A.
- The IE-9310-26S2C-E vs IE-9320-26S2C-E difference is stacking: both are Network Essentials GE fiber models, but IE-9320-26S2C-E adds stacking support and has a 64 W listed power consumption.
- For IE-9310-26S2C-E vs IE-9320-22S2C4X-E, the comparison changes from 1G SFP uplinks to 10G SFP+ uplinks and adds GNSS and IRIG-B on the IE9320 10G fiber model.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should confirm license tier first, then decide whether the order requires stacking or 10G uplink capacity.
Selection Guide
1. Select this SKU for standalone GE fiber access
Choose IE-9310-26S2C-E when the project calls for a non-stackable IE9300 switch with 24 GE SFP downlink positions, 4 GE SFP uplinks, and Network Essentials.
2. Use the A suffix for Network Advantage by default
Move to IE-9310-26S2C-A when the same GE fiber hardware must ship with Network Advantage rather than adding an IE9300-NW-A= license separately.
3. Move to IE9320 for stacking
Select IE-9320-26S2C-E when the deployment needs stackable IE9300 GE fiber switches while keeping Network Essentials and 1G SFP uplinks.
4. Check uplink speed before quoting optics
Review IE-9320-22S2C4X-E when the upstream design requires 10G SFP+ uplinks or GNSS and IRIG-B features, because IE-9310-26S2C-E is a 1G SFP uplink model.
Ordering Checklist
|
Review area |
Required confirmation |
Procurement risk |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
Cisco ordering PID IE-9310-26S2C-E with Network Essentials |
Prevents substituting the Network Advantage -A suffix or a stackable IE9320 PID |
|
Downlink media |
22 x 1G SFP downlinks plus 2 x 1G dual-media downlinks |
Avoids treating the dual-media positions as two active interfaces per position |
|
Uplink speed |
4 x 1G SFP uplinks |
Prevents buying 10G SFP+ optics for a GE SFP uplink model |
|
Stacking requirement |
IE9310 GE fiber has no stacking support |
Moves the order to an IE9320 SKU if stacking is part of the design |
|
Power supply plan |
One field-replaceable AC or DC supply is required and a second supply is optional for redundancy |
Keeps the base switch order separate from redundant PSU planning |
|
SFP temperature rating |
SFP modules must be selected from Cisco-supported options and matched to the installed environment |
Avoids using optics that change the practical temperature envelope |
|
Rack and service items |
SD-IE-16GB=, RM-RGD rack kits, power supplies, IE9300-NW-A=, and Catalyst Center licenses only when required |
Keeps optional storage, mounting, power, and software items from being assumed as included |
