IE-9320-22S2C4X-E Description
The IE-9320-22S2C4X-E delivers the Catalyst IE9300 series' unique timing hardware at the Network Essentials tier: a stackable, conformal-coated 1RU fanless switch with 22 Gigabit SFP downlinks, 2 dual-media combo ports, 4 SFP+ uplinks at 1G or 10G, a GNSS/GPS time source input, and IRIG-B input/output in eight formats. Every hardware exclusive of the 22S2C4X design works at this license: satellite-derived clocking, IRIG-B distribution to legacy relays, salt-mist and mixed-gas corrosion resistance, HSR and PRP with PTP over PRP, IEC 61850-9-3 Power Utility Profile timing, and 95.23 Mpps of forwarding onto 10G backhaul. Essentials also carries OSPF with 1,000 routes, RIP, PBR, REP and MRP rings with MRP over Stacking, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP, and IOx - so only VRF segmentation, TrustSec, BGP-class routing, and MACsec-256 wait behind the perpetual IE9300-NW-A= in-place upgrade. Dual isolated power modules and hazardous-location approvals finish the utility spec.

Product Performance
Key Features
GNSS input and eight-format IRIG-B in/out are wired into this hardware and operate at Essentials, so a station clock role does not require the Advantage license – only the 22S2C4X models have these interfaces at any tier.
The four SFP+ ports run 1G or 10G optics with 95.23 Mpps behind them, letting an Essentials node aggregate multiple Gigabit rings into a 10G backbone that GE-uplink IE9300 models cannot offer.
Conformal coating validated by IEC 60068-2-52 salt-mist and 2-60 mixed-gas testing distinguishes this hardware in coastal, chemical, and wastewater atmospheres where uncoated boards degrade.
HSR, PRP, and PTP over PRP – the zero-loss backbone of process-bus and protection networks – are Essentials features on this model, with only TrustSec over PRP reserved for the -A license.
OSPF with 1,000 routes, OSPFv3, RIP, PBR, REP/MRP with MRP over Stacking, PROFINET, CIP, GOOSE and SCADA classification, and IOx all operate before any upgrade conversation begins.
The perpetual IE9300-NW-A= upgrade later unlocks BGP, EIGRP, VRF-lite, BGP-EVPN over VXLAN, TrustSec with SGACL, MACsec-256, L3 NAT, and SD-Access fabric roles on this same coated chassis.
Application Scenarios
Serving substations that need GNSS-referenced time and IRIG-B distribution to relays but run flat or OSPF-routed LANs, where the timing hardware matters and Advantage features do not yet.
Terminating fiber rings at coastal utilities, chemical works, and treatment plants whose corrosive air disqualifies uncoated switches regardless of feature requirements.
Building transit, mining, and pipeline aggregation layers that need SFP+ headroom and stack-wide MRP today, with segmentation planned for a later phase via the in-place license upgrade.

- Between the IE-9320-22S2C4X-E and IE-9320-22S2C4X-A the hardware is identical – GNSS, IRIG-B, coating, 10G uplinks, HSR/PRP all included here – so the -A order is purely a feature-timing decision about TrustSec (including over PRP), BGP/EIGRP, VRF-lite, MACsec-256, and fabric roles, each recoverable later on this -E unit via IE9300-NW-A=.
- IE-9320-26S2C-E shares the Essentials license and downlink layout but not the mission: it drops to GE uplinks, loses the timing interfaces and coating, and in exchange draws 9W less with a much higher 492,370-hour MTBF for ordinary fiber aggregation duty.
- For deciding which SKU to order, let the hardware exclusives decide first – any GNSS, IRIG-B, 10G-uplink, or corrosive-site requirement lands on a 22S2C4X model, at this -E tier unless segmentation is scheduled for day one – and only without those requirements does IE-9320-26S2C-E become the value play.
Selection Guide
1. Hardware Needs Decide The Model
GNSS clocking, IRIG-B distribution, 10G backhaul, and coated boards exist only on 22S2C4X hardware; if any of these is in the specification, the remaining question is license tier, not model.
2. Essentials Until Segmentation Lands
Run flat, OSPF-routed, or PRP-duplicated networks indefinitely at this tier; schedule the IE9300-NW-A= purchase for the project phase that actually introduces VRFs, TrustSec policy, BGP peering, or MACsec-256 links.
3. Weigh MTBF Against Mission
The coated 10G design posts 323,733 hours against 492,370 for the GE-uplink sibling; sites that need neither timing nor 10G nor coating buy reliability and lower draw with IE-9320-26S2C-E instead.
4. Plan Optics And Power Together
Four SFP+ positions take SR through ZR optics with industrial -I/-X grades, GLC-T family copper SFPs stay off the combo ports, and two PWR-RGD modules of the correct voltage family cover redundant station feeds.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Timing integration scope |
Confirm GNSS antenna routing and IRIG-B cable runs are in the site plan. |
The switch provides the interfaces; the antenna system and time-code wiring are project-supplied. |
|
License tier decision |
Check that VRF, TrustSec, BGP/EIGRP, and MACsec-256 are absent from day-one requirements. |
Those are the only capabilities this -E defers; everything hardware-exclusive already works. |
|
Upgrade PID on record |
Log IE9300-NW-A= as the perpetual in-place upgrade path. |
Future segmentation phases then order a license line, not replacement hardware. |
|
Power module selection |
Choose the PWR-RGD family matching the station battery or AC source, two units for A/B feeds. |
The dual slots ship empty and low-voltage DC differs from the high-voltage AC-DC family. |
|
Optic grades and reach |
Specify 10G uplink optics and industrial-grade GE optics per cabinet temperature. |
Non-industrial SFPs derate the -40°C to +75°C envelope this model is bought for. |
|
Stack and rack parts |
Add CAB-STK cables for planned members and the matching RM-RGD rack kit. |
MRP over Stacking and substation rack fit depend on these separate line items. |
