Product Information

The Cisco 2520 Connected Grid Switch (CGS 2520) is a rugged Ethernet switch designed for use in transmission and distribution (T&D) power substations. The CGS 2520 uses Cisco IOS software, which is the operating system powering millions of Cisco switches and routers worldwide.

Rugged design for substation compliance
Compliant with IEEE 1613 and IEC-61850-3 substation standards for rugged design. Convection cooled with no moving parts or fans for maximum reliability and reduced network outages.
Network security
Advanced Cisco IOS software features such as 802.1x, Layer 2-Layer 4 access control lists (ACLs), port security, protected port/private VLAN, UNI/ENI default control traffic shut down and configuration file security to prevent unauthorized network access and reduce operational costs of securing the network.
High availability and redundancy
Advanced Cisco IOS software features such as REP and Flexlink provide fast re-convergence in ring and hub-and-spoke topologies, minimizing network downtime and associated costs. Field-replaceable components such as power supplies and SFPs reduce redeployment time.
Ease of use
Intuitive graphical user interface (GUI) in Cisco configuration professional simplifies configuration of switches and reduces training time and costs. Utility focused enhancements have been added to further increase ease of use. Smartport templates provide one-touch global and port-level macros to simplify switch deployments.
Energy efficiency
The CGS 2520 architecture provides energy-saving features that include high efficiency power supplies are provided with each platform and no fans which reduces overall power consumption.
