IE-9320-26S2C-A Description
IE-9320-26S2C-A is a Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series stackable industrial Ethernet switch with Network Advantage, 22 SFP access ports, 2 dual-media ports, and four GE SFP uplinks. It is used in fiber access networks where the buyer wants the 26S2C GE-uplink layout plus the Advantage license tier.
The A suffix is the ordering boundary for this model. IE-9320-26S2C-E keeps the same GE fiber hardware on Network Essentials, IE-9320-22S2C4X-A moves to 10G SFP+ uplinks and timing hardware, and IE9310 26S2C models should only be considered when stacking is not required.
Before sourcing, review the license tier, stack requirement, GE SFP optic list, dual-media ports, power-module choice, rack fit, warranty coverage, stock, price, shipping, and lead time. Layer23-Switch can help verify compatibility and shipment details for the approved Cisco PID.

Key Features
IE-9320-26S2C-A is the Network Advantage order line for the stackable IE9320 GE fiber switch, so the A suffix should stay attached to the required software tier.
The switch combines 22 100/1000M SFP downlinks with 2 dual-media ports, which matters when fiber access endpoints and occasional RJ45 handoffs share one rugged switch.
Cisco documents 4 x 100/1000M SFP uplinks on this model, so it should not be substituted for the 22S2C4X variant when the upstream design requires 10G SFP+ ports.
IE-9320-26S2C-A is listed with stacking support, and Cisco ordering information lists IE9300 stack cables for supported IE9320 stack designs.
The hardware guide model table marks GNSS and IRIG-B as not supported for IE-9320-26S2C-A, which keeps timing hardware from being assumed across the IE9320 family.
Cisco documents support for two field-replaceable redundant AC or DC power supplies, making power-source selection a real line-item check for industrial cabinets.
Application Scenarios
IE-9320-26S2C-A fits rugged access sites where most endpoints terminate on 100/1000M SFP fiber and the uplink design remains at GE SFP speed.
Use this SKU when the BOM calls for IE9320 stacking with GE fiber uplinks and Network Advantage, rather than a non-stackable IE9310 fiber switch.
This model suits IE9300 deployments that need Network Advantage on the GE fiber hardware; move to IE-9320-22S2C4X-A only when 10G SFP+ uplinks and the listed timing hardware are required.

- In an IE-9320-26S2C-A vs IE-9320-26S2C-E comparison, the port layout, GE SFP uplinks, stacking support, and performance rows match; the confirmed difference is Network Advantage on the A suffix versus Network Essentials on the E suffix.
- The IE-9320-26S2C-A vs IE-9320-22S2C4X-A difference is uplink and timing scope: IE-9320-26S2C-A uses GE SFP uplinks with no GNSS/IRIG-B entry, while IE-9320-22S2C4X-A uses 10G SFP+ uplinks and lists GNSS/IRIG-B.
- For buyers running an IE-9320-26S2C-A vs IE-9310-26S2C-A comparison, the key table difference is stacking support on the IE9320 model; choose the SKU that matches the stack requirement.
- The which model to choose check should start with license tier, stacking need, GE versus 10G uplink speed, and whether GNSS/IRIG-B timing appears in the required design.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for stackable GE fiber access
Choose IE-9320-26S2C-A when the design needs 22 100/1000M SFP downlinks, 2 dual-media ports, 4 GE SFP uplinks, Network Advantage, and IE9320 stacking.
2. Keep the A suffix for Advantage licensing
Use IE-9320-26S2C-A when Network Advantage is required on the GE fiber hardware; move to IE-9320-26S2C-E only when the same port layout should ship with Network Essentials.
3. Move to 22S2C4X-A for 10G uplinks
Select IE-9320-22S2C4X-A instead when the upstream design requires 4 x 10G SFP+ uplinks or the IE9320 timing hardware listed with GNSS and IRIG-B.
4. Verify stack and power items together
Confirm the IE9300 stack-cable length, stack-member plan, and AC or DC power-supply modules before order release because those items control whether the GE fiber switch can be installed as designed.
