The Cisco Catalyst IR1101 Rugged Series Router is a next-generation modular industrial router, which has a base platform with additional pluggable modules that can be added. The pluggable modules provide the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the IR1101 platform, for example, a cellular module, which provides 5G and Fourth-Generation Long-Term Evolution (4G LTE) cellular networks.

The IR1101 also has expansion modules that adds key capabilities to the IR1101. The expansion modules are:

The Cisco Catalyst IR1800 Rugged Series Router is a modular industrial router. The IR1800 series has four base platforms with additional pluggable modules that can be added. The pluggable modules provide the flexibility of adding different interfaces to the base platform.

The IR1800 series consists of four base platforms:

• IR1821

• IR1831

• IR1833

• IR1835

The IR1800 series features a base platform with modularity, which includes:

• Alarms - 2 IN and 1 OUT (RJ45 Port)

The ESR6300 is a small form factor embedded router module with a board size of 3.0 in. x 3.775 in. (76.2 mm x 95.885 mm).

The more compact design simplifies integration and offers system integrators the ability to use the Cisco ESR6300 in a wide variety of embedded applications. The ESR module is available with a Cisco-designed cooling plate customized to the ESR, as well as without the cooling plate for system integrators who want to design their own custom thermal solution.

There are two ESR6300 SKUs:

• ESR-6300-NCP-K9: Embedded Router Board without a cooling plate

• ESR-6300-CON-K9: Embedded Router Board with a cooling plate

Both SKUs offer the following port and module interfaces:

• Four GE LAN ports

• Two combo GE WAN ports

• One USB 3.0 port

• One mSATA module interface
