Cisco Catalyst IE-3500-8T3S-E Switch
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3500-8T3S-E Switch is a rugged, scalable industrial Ethernet platform built for harsh, space-constrained OT edge environments. With 8 Gigabit downlinks and 3 fixed 1G/100M SFP uplinks, it delivers reliable line-rate performance in a compact, fanless IP30 DIN-rail form factor. Designed for extended temperature ranges (−40°C to +75°C) and vibration-prone sites, it runs Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials license for core Layer 2/Layer 3 capabilities and integrates with Cisco Catalyst Center for streamlined operations.
Key Features:
- 8 × Gigabit Ethernet Downlinks (Non-PoE): Cost-efficient data connectivity for industrial endpoints where external power is available.
- 3 × 1G/100M SFP Uplinks: Flexible fiber uplinks for resilient aggregation/backbone connectivity.
- Ruggedized, Fanless Design (IP30, −40°C to +75°C): Reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions with DIN-rail mounting.
- Layer 2 & Layer 3 with Network Essentials: Foundational routing/segmentation features suited for OT/IT convergence (license-dependent).
- Easy Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center).
Technical Overview:
- Recommended for: Industrial and OT edge deployments requiring robust non-PoE access and fiber uplinks (IP30, fanless DIN-rail).
- Ports: 8 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 downlinks with 3 fixed 1G/100M SFP uplinks.
- PoE Budget: No PoE.
- Switching Capacity: —
- Forwarding Rate: Line-rate on all ports (all packet sizes).
- Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center).
- Security: Feature set aligned with license tier (Network Essentials); see datasheet for details.
- Energy Efficiency: Fanless, low-power operation for energy-conscious industrial deployments.
