IE-2000-8TC-G-B Description
IE-2000-8TC-G-B is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series DIN-rail switch for industrial access networks that need a compact LAN Base model with eight 10/100BASE-T copper downlink ports and two Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks that can use SFP or RJ-45 media. The 8TC-G-B PID belongs to the IE 2000 8-port LAN Base chassis group, supports the Type 1 upgrade path from LAN Base to IP Lite, and is documented for Cisco IOS Release 15.0(1)EY context. It fits control cabinets and plant-floor Ethernet deployments that require IP30 industrial switching, Class 2 DC power-source guidance, alarm I/O, optional SD flash support, and DIN-rail mounting rather than a standalone campus switch role.

Product Performance
Key Features
Cisco places IE-2000-8TC-G-B in the 8 FE and 2 GE group with LAN Base and upgrade type 1, separating it from the LAN Lite G-L row and the feature-marked G-E or G-N rows.
The current SKU keeps the eight copper endpoint ports of the 8TC family while moving the uplink pair to GE speed, which is the main hardware difference from the FE-uplink IE-2000-8TC-B model.
The Cisco configuration table maps type 1 to a LAN Base to IP Lite Cisco IOS Software Upgrade, so any routing feature expectation should be handled as a license decision instead of assumed in the base PID.
Dual-purpose GE uplinks are not two active links per port; the cabinet design should choose the RJ-45 path or the SFP path before transceivers and patching are ordered.
Cisco identifies the IE2000 8-port L/B chassis separately from the longer E/N chassis, making enclosure depth and wall-mount accessory checks part of the physical order review.
The hardware guide describes Class 2 DC power use, DC power connectors, and alarm circuits, so the switch should be quoted with the panel wiring approach already defined.
Application Scenarios
Choose IE-2000-8TC-G-B for control cabinets that need eight Fast Ethernet copper device ports and a GE uplink pair, but do not require the Enhanced LAN Base position of the N model.
Use this SKU when the existing IE 2000 selection logic stays at eight copper downlinks and LAN Base, while the aggregation link must move from FE dual-purpose uplinks to GE dual-purpose uplinks.
Select IE-2000-8TC-G-B for panels where one site may uplink over RJ-45 copper and another over SFP fiber, then match each SFP choice to Cisco-listed IE 2000 transceiver options.

Ordering description |
IE2000 with 8FE copper ports and 2GE uplinks, LAN Base |
IE2000 with 8FE copper ports and 2GE combo, LAN Lite |
IE2000 with 8FE copper ports and 2GE combo, LAN Base, 1588 |
IE2000 with 8FE copper ports and 2GE combo, Enhanced LAN Base |
- In an IE-2000-8TC-G-B vs IE-2000-8TC-G-L comparison, both models keep 8 FE copper ports and 2 GE combo uplinks, but IE-2000-8TC-G-B is the LAN Base order line while IE-2000-8TC-G-L is LAN Lite.
- The IE-2000-8TC-G-B vs IE-2000-8TC-G-E difference is the Cisco configuration marking: both are LAN Base 8TC-G models, but the E row carries IEEE 1588 and an L2NAT upgrade mark.
- For IE-2000-8TC-G-B vs IE-2000-8TC-G-N, the comparison moves from LAN Base with no Cisco-listed NAT mark to Enhanced LAN Base with L2NAT listed in the table.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should keep the port layout constant and select the suffix that matches LAN Lite, LAN Base, timing, or Enhanced LAN Base and NAT requirements.
Selection Guide
1. Choose B for the plain LAN Base GE-uplink row
Choose IE-2000-8TC-G-B when the order needs 8 FE copper downlinks, 2 GE combo uplinks, and LAN Base without the additional IEEE 1588 or L2NAT markings shown on nearby variants.
2. Move down only when LAN Lite is acceptable
Move to IE-2000-8TC-G-L only if the same GE-uplink hardware layout can run as a LAN Lite purchase, because Cisco lists a different software license and upgrade type for that suffix.
3. Select E or N for marked timing or NAT scope
Select IE-2000-8TC-G-E when the quote needs the Cisco-listed 1588 LAN Base variant, or select IE-2000-8TC-G-N when Enhanced LAN Base and L2NAT must be present at the selected PID level.
4. Verify media and power before locking accessories
Verify each GE dual-purpose uplink media choice, the external industrial power supply, and the 8-port L/B mounting accessory because those items are separate from the base switch PID.

Procurement risk |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact PID |
IE-2000-8TC-G-B |
Avoids substituting the LAN Lite G-L model or the E/N feature-marked variants |
|
Port layout |
8 x 10/100BASE-T copper downlinks and 2 x GE combo uplinks |
Confirms the cabinet is not being built around FE-uplink or 16-port IE 2000 hardware |
|
Software license |
LAN Base with upgrade type 1 |
Prevents assuming Enhanced LAN Base, L2NAT, or IP Lite functions without the matching entitlement |
|
Uplink media |
RJ-45 copper or Cisco-listed SFP media per GE uplink |
Prevents ordering fiber optics where a copper uplink is planned, or copper patching where SFP fiber is required |
|
Power design |
Class 2 DC power source and supported IE 2000 power supply |
Keeps the switch order aligned with the panel power architecture |
|
Mechanical fit |
