Cisco Expansion Module

The Cisco^® Embedded Services 3300 Series serves as a silver bullet for myriad applications across verticals that need custom switching solutions in terms of form-factor size, weight, and power.

Product overview

Cisco Embedded Services 3300 Series Switches (ESS 3300) revolutionize Cisco's embedded networking portfolio with 1G/10G capabilities. ESS 3300 switches are optimized to meet specialized form-factor, ruggedization, port density, and power needs of many applications requiring customization and complement Cisco's off-the-shelf Industrial Ethernet switching portfolio.

The Small Form Factor (SFF), board configuration options, and optimized power consumption provide Cisco partners and integrators the flexibility to design custom solutions for defense, oil and gas, transportation, mining, and other verticals. The ESS 3300 runs the trusted and feature-rich Cisco IOS^® XE Software, allowing Cisco partners and integrators to offer their customers the familiar Cisco IOS CLI and management experience on their ESS 3300-based solutions.
