Cisco ME 3400 Series Ethernet Access Switches

The Cisco ME 3400 Series is a customer-located equipment (CLE) switch family designed specifically for service providers to deliver "Ethernet-to-the-Home" (ETTH) and "Ethernet-to-the-Business" (ETTB) services. Built upon the industry-leading Catalyst technology, the ME 3400 series features a service-provider-friendly hardware design and specialized software to lower Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).

These switches offer a comprehensive security suite, including subscriber isolation, network protection from unauthorized traffic, and switch management security.
