Cisco IE 1000 IE-1000-6T2T-LM 6-Port Data Industrial Ethernet DIN-Rail Switch with 2x 100M RJ45

No. The Cisco IE-1000-6T2T-LM is a data-only switch, and all six 10/100 Fast Ethernet access ports carry no Power over Ethernet. It cannot power devices such as ruggedized IP cameras, industrial wireless access points, or IP phones. If you need to power devices over the network, the Cisco IE-1000-4P2S-LM delivers IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+ across four ports from a 120 W power budget, and the IE-1000-8P2S-LM offers eight PoE/PoE+ ports and a 180 W budget.

The Cisco IE-1000-6T2T-LM has two fixed 10/100 Fast Ethernet copper (RJ-45) uplink ports, not Gigabit uplinks. It has no SFP slots, so it does not accept pluggable fiber transceivers; SFP fiber uplinks are only available on the Gigabit SFP-based IE-1000-4P2S-LM and IE-1000-8P2S-LM models. The two Fast Ethernet copper uplinks connect the switch to upstream aggregation or distribution switches over standard Category 5 or better twisted-pair cabling and can be used for dual-homed or ring topologies.

The Cisco IE-1000-6T2T-LM is a lightly managed, web-managed Layer 2 switch. It is configured through a browser-based Cisco Web Device Manager graphical interface with zero-touch Plug and Play discovery, so operational technology staff can set it up without command-line or deep IT networking knowledge. It supports Layer 2 features such as VLANs, STP/RSTP/MSTP, IGMP snooping, port security, SNMP, and EtherNet/IP (CIP) awareness. It does not run Cisco IOS or IOS XE and does not perform IP routing.

No. The Cisco IE-1000-6T2T-LM does not support switch stacking. There is no stacking module, stack cable, or stack bandwidth on the IE 1000 Series. Multiple switches are interconnected as independent Layer 2 devices over their Ethernet uplinks, and network resilience is provided through spanning-tree protocols (STP, RSTP, MSTP) and the switch's redundant voltage feeds rather than through a stack.

The Cisco IE-1000-6T2T-LM operates from -20°C to +70°C in a vented enclosure, -20°C to +60°C in a sealed enclosure, and -16°C to +75°C in a fan- or blower-equipped enclosure and is rated to IP30 for ingress protection. It mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, accepts a 12-24V DC input, and supports redundant voltage feeds and alarm relays. Cisco rates its mean time between failure (MTBF) at 374,052 hours and covers the hardware with a five-year limited warranty. These characteristics suit unconditioned cabinets and enclosures on factory floors, in roadside transportation systems, and at outdoor surveillance sites.

Both are data-only, Layer 2, web-managed IE 1000 switches with Fast Ethernet copper uplinks, no PoE, and the same 5.6 Gbps switching bandwidth and 2.8 Gbps forwarding bandwidth. The IE-1000-6T2T-LM is an eight-port model with six Fast Ethernet downlinks and two Fast Ethernet copper uplinks, suited to dual-homed or ring topologies. The IE-1000-4T1T-LM is the smaller five-port model with four Fast Ethernet downlinks and a single Fast Ethernet copper uplink for compact edge cabinets. Neither model has Gigabit or SFP uplinks.

No. Cisco has not published an End-of-Sale or End-of-Life notice for the Cisco IE-1000-6T2T-LM or the Industrial Ethernet 1000 Series. Cisco maintains dedicated end-of-life notice listings for its other industrial switch families, such as the IE 2000 and IE 3000 Series, but no such hardware notice has been issued for the IE 1000 Series, so the IE-1000-6T2T-LM remains an actively available product.

The Cisco IE-1000-6T2T-LM is sold new and factory-sealed. It is covered by a Network Devices Inc. one-year warranty and a 30-day return policy. The switch hardware also carries Cisco's five-year limited warranty.
