IE-2000-16TC-G-N Description
IE-2000-16TC-G-N is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series managed DIN-rail switch for industrial access networks that need copper edge connectivity with fiber uplink flexibility. The SKU provides 16 10/100BASE-T downlink ports, 2 Gigabit Ethernet dual-purpose SFP/RJ45 uplinks, and 2 Fast Ethernet SFP ports in a 20-port non-PoE configuration, with Enhanced LAN Base software, IEEE 1588 support, and Layer 2 NAT for industrial automation and plant-floor segmentation designs.

Product Performance
Key Features
The 16 x 10/100BASE-T downlink layout fits industrial panels that need more copper endpoint capacity than the 8TC models while staying in the compact IE 2000 family.
The switch provides two FE SFP ports in addition to two GE dual-purpose uplinks, so the optical and RJ45 media choices need to be matched to the cabinet uplink design.
Cisco lists IE-2000-16TC-G-N with Enhanced LAN Base, making the suffix important when a purchase should not fall back to LAN Lite or LAN Base.
The Cisco configuration table marks this SKU for IEEE 1588 and Layer 2 NAT, which are the feature checks that often separate it from lower-tier 16TC variants.
IE 2000 platform documentation identifies DIN rail mounting, dual-input DC power, alarm relays, removable SD storage, and a mini-USB connector as installation items to verify with the switch.
The 16TC-G-N row is not a PoE/PoE+ model, so endpoint power should be handled outside this switch or moved to a PoE-capable Cisco industrial SKU.
Application Scenarios
Use IE-2000-16TC-G-N for control cabinets that need sixteen Fast Ethernet copper device connections plus fiber or RJ45 uplink choices without adding PoE ports.
Fits approved IE 2000 designs that depend on IEEE 1588 timing and Layer 2 NAT in the selected PID rather than on a later license correction.
Choose IE-2000-16TC-G-N when the installed port layout matches the 16TC-G family and the requirement is Enhanced LAN Base with L2NAT, not the conformal-coated IE-2000-16TC-G-X variant.

- In an IE-2000-16TC-G-N vs IE-2000-16TC-G-E comparison, both models keep the 16 FE copper, 2 GE combo, and 2 FE SFP layout, but the current SKU is Enhanced LAN Base with L2NAT marked as supported.
- The IE-2000-16TC-G-N difference from IE-2000-16TC-G-L is the software tier and feature marking: the -L model is LAN Lite, while the current SKU is listed with Enhanced LAN Base, IEEE 1588, and L2NAT.
- For IE-2000-16TC-G-N vs IE-2000-16TC-G-X, the key comparison is conformal coating versus included Enhanced LAN Base and L2NAT status in the ordering table.
- Which model to choose should be tied to the approved license tier, L2NAT requirement, IEEE 1588 requirement, and whether the site specifically needs the coated -X variant.
Selection Guide
1. Choose the -N PID for included Enhanced LAN Base
Select IE-2000-16TC-G-N when the BOM requires the 16TC-G port layout with Enhanced LAN Base, IEEE 1588, and Layer 2 NAT in the selected Cisco PID.
2. Use the -E model only when LAN Base fits
Move to IE-2000-16TC-G-E only if LAN Base is the accepted software tier and the project can treat L2NAT as an upgrade path rather than a marked feature on the selected SKU.
3. Separate coating requirements from NAT requirements
Keep IE-2000-16TC-G-N for the non-coated Enhanced LAN Base order, and use IE-2000-16TC-G-X only when the conformal-coated 16TC-G variant is the documented requirement.
4. Verify media and external power before BOM release
Confirm each GE uplink media choice, FE SFP optic, power supply, SD card, wall-mount kit, and IP Lite license requirement because these items are planned separately from the base switch PID.

|
Exact PID |
IE-2000-16TC-G-N |
The suffix separates Enhanced LAN Base with L2NAT from LAN Base, LAN Lite, and coated variants |
|
Port layout |
16 x FE copper, 2 x GE combo, and 2 x FE SFP |

|
Software tier |
Enhanced LAN Base |
This is the license tier Cisco lists for the current SKU |
|
Timing and NAT |
IEEE 1588 and L2NAT are required |
These are the main feature reasons to hold the -N variant on the order |
|
Uplink and SFP media |
RJ45 or SFP per GE combo port plus FE SFP optic type |
The base switch does not define the optic reach or fiber type |
