Description

The Cisco IE-3500-8T3X-E is a rugged industrial Ethernet switch engineered for demanding operational technology environments. Featuring 8 Gigabit copper ports and 3 10G SFP+ uplinks with Layer 3 routing, it delivers high-bandwidth, deterministic performance for machine vision, industrial AI, and edge-to-cloud connectivity. Modular expansion slots enable flexible port scaling, while built-in resiliency protocols ensure fast failover and uptime in automation, utilities, and manufacturing applications.

Features

FAQs

Q: Does the IE-3500-8T3X-E support Power over Ethernet?
A: No, this model does not support PoE. It is designed for non-PoE access deployments. For PoE requirements, consider the IE-3500-8P3S or IE-3500-8U3X variants.

Q: What is the difference between Network Essentials and Network Advantage licenses?
A: The IE-3500-8T3X-E ships with a Network Essentials license, which provides Layer 2 and basic Layer 3 features. Network Advantage adds advanced routing, SDA Fabric Edge, BGP-EVPN, Cisco Cyber Vision, and Cisco Secure Equipment Access at no extra cost. Licenses can be upgraded post-purchase.

Q: Can I expand the port count on this switch?
A: Yes, the IE3500 Rugged Series is modular and supports IEM expansion modules, allowing you to add additional copper, SFP, or PoE ports. The total port count can scale up to 27 ports depending on the modules installed.

Q: Is this switch suitable for hazardous or outdoor environments?
A: The IE-3500-8T3X-E is IP30 rated and rugged for industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to +75°C. For hazardous locations or outdoor IP66/IP67 requirements, consider the IE3500 Heavy Duty Series or verify certified power supply options.

Q: What type of SFP modules are supported in the 10G SFP+ uplink ports?
A: The 10G SFP+ ports support both 1G and 10G SFP/SFP+ modules, including Cisco industrial-grade transceivers rated for -40°C to +85°C. Supported modules include GE SFP, 10G SFP+, CWDM, and DWDM variants. Refer to the official datasheet for the complete compatibility list.
