IE-2000-16TC-G-E Description
IE-2000-16TC-G-E is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series managed industrial switch for DIN-rail industrial edge access deployments. It provides 16 10/100BASE-T copper downlink ports, 2 Gigabit Ethernet dual-purpose uplinks that can operate as SFP or RJ-45 ports, and 2 additional 100 Mb/s SFP uplink slots, giving the switch 20 total ports for mixed copper and fiber industrial Ethernet connections. The SKU ships with LAN Base software, supports IEEE 1588 timing, and can add L2NAT through an Enhanced LAN Base or IP Lite license upgrade when that feature boundary is required.

Product Performance
Key Features
The ordered hardware gives plant or utility cabinets 16 Fast Ethernet copper access ports while keeping both GE combo uplinks and FE SFP uplink slots available for upstream design.
IE-2000-16TC-G-E is the LAN Base member of the 16TC-G group, so it should not be substituted with the LAN Lite IE-2000-16TC-G-L when LAN Base features are part of the bill of materials.
Cisco marks this PID for IEEE 1588 support, making the SKU relevant when timing support is part of the industrial Ethernet design.
The L2NAT row is marked as upgradable for this SKU, so NAT should be treated as a software line-item check instead of an included Enhanced LAN Base capability.
The 16TC-G-E row is not the PoE model, which keeps the order separate from IE-2000-16PTC-G-E when powered endpoints are in scope.
Cisco lists separate IE 2000 power, SD memory, wall mount, rack DIN rail, and license PIDs, so the base switch should be quoted with only the accessories the cabinet actually needs.
Application Scenarios
Use IE-2000-16TC-G-E where PLCs, HMIs, drives, sensors, controllers, or gateways need 16 copper 10/100 ports in a DIN-rail IE 2000 form factor.
Select this SKU when the site wants the LAN Base 16TC-G model and each GE uplink may be planned as RJ-45 copper or SFP media instead of committing to a single uplink media type.
This model fits projects that need IEEE 1588 and an official path for L2NAT or IP Lite licensing, but do not need conformal coating or PoE endpoint power in the selected PID.

- In an IE-2000-16TC-G-E vs IE-2000-16TC-G-L comparison, both SKUs keep the 20-port 16TC-G hardware layout, but IE-2000-16TC-G-E is LAN Base while IE-2000-16TC-G-L is LAN Lite.
- The IE-2000-16TC-G-E difference from IE-2000-16TC-G-N is the software tier and NAT treatment: the current SKU is LAN Base with L2NAT as an upgrade path, while IE-2000-16TC-G-N is Enhanced LAN Base with L2NAT marked Yes.
- For IE-2000-16TC-G-E vs IE-2000-16TC-G-X, the table shows the same LAN Base software row, but IE-2000-16TC-G-X adds conformal coating.
- Which model to choose should be tied to LAN Base versus LAN Lite or Enhanced LAN Base, the L2NAT requirement, and whether conformal coating is needed.
Selection Guide
1. Keep IE-2000-16TC-G-E for LAN Base 16TC-G orders
Choose this SKU when the BOM requires 16 Fast Ethernet copper downlinks, 2 GE combo uplinks, 2 FE SFP uplinks, IEEE 1588, and LAN Base software.
2. Use IE-2000-16TC-G-L only for LAN Lite scope
Select the -L alternative only when the same 16TC-G port layout can run under LAN Lite and the Cisco table does not need the LAN Base row on the order.
3. Move to IE-2000-16TC-G-N when NAT must be included
Use the -N model when the project requires Enhanced LAN Base and L2NAT marked on the selected PID instead of relying on the upgrade path of the current SKU.
4. Separate coating and PoE decisions from this PID
Use IE-2000-16TC-G-X when conformal coating is required, or a 16PTC-G model when the endpoint plan includes PoE or PoE+ power.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check item |
What to confirm |
Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
IE-2000-16TC-G-E rather than IE-2000-16TC-G-L, IE-2000-16TC-G-N, or IE-2000-16TC-G-X |
The suffix changes software tier, NAT status, or conformal coating |
|
Port layout |
16 FE copper downlinks, 2 GE combo uplinks, and 2 FE SFP uplinks |
Prevents mixing this 20-port TC-G design with 8-port or PoE PTC models |
|
Software upgrade |
L2NAT, Enhanced LAN Base, or IP Lite requirement |
Cisco marks NAT as upgradable for this SKU rather than included |
|
Power and mounting |
External industrial power supply, DIN-rail location, and wall mount or rack DIN rail kit |
IE 2000 installations commonly need separate power and mounting line items |
|
Optional storage |
SD-IE-1GB= if removable SD flash is required |
Cisco lists the 1 GB ruggedized SD card as optional and not included by default |

Followed up on a question after hours. Got a reply first thing next morning.
Product was current, not old stock. Important to us.
Layer23’s pre-sales team operates at the level of a major distributor. Would have liked a tracking update sooner, but the product is great.
Efficient. No wasted time. The part is functional.
Import to Germany was handled well.
