IE-2000-8TC-G-E Description
IE-2000-8TC-G-E is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series switch for DIN-rail industrial access networks, with eight 10/100 Fast Ethernet copper downlink ports and two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks that can use SFP or RJ-45 connections. It is a 10-port LAN Base model for factory, utility, transportation, and other hardened Ethernet deployments that need a compact access switch with IEEE 1588 timing support, DC-A and DC-B power input connectors, alarm I/O, and an official software upgrade path to Enhanced LAN Base or IP Lite for added features such as L2NAT.

Product Performance
Key Features
Cisco places IE-2000-8TC-G-E in the 8 FE and 2 GE combo group with LAN Base and IEEE 1588, making the suffix part of the technical order identity rather than a cosmetic change.
Each GE combo uplink must be planned around the active media, so a buyer should decide whether the installed link will use copper RJ-45 or a supported SFP module.
The current PID is a LAN Base order line; projects that need Enhanced LAN Base or L2NAT as a listed base capability should compare it directly with IE-2000-8TC-G-N.
Cisco marks L2NAT for this SKU as an upgrade-dependent item, so entitlement planning should happen before the switch is quoted for NAT-sensitive industrial segmentation.
Cisco identifies the 8-port E/N mechanical figure as the long 10-port chassis, which affects DIN-rail layout more than the shorter 8TC-B or 8TC-L form factor.
The hardware guide documents front-panel DC-A and DC-B connectors plus alarm wiring, giving panel builders specific power and monitoring points to include in the cabinet plan.
Application Scenarios
Select IE-2000-8TC-G-E for a machine or process cell where FE endpoints stay on copper, uplinks need GE headroom, and the network design calls for the Cisco-listed IEEE 1588 capability.
Use the E model when the site can deploy LAN Base first but still needs a documented route to Enhanced LAN Base or IP Lite rather than ordering the Enhanced LAN Base N variant immediately.
This SKU suits staging workflows where a GE combo uplink might be patched as RJ-45 in test and later moved to SFP fiber, provided the final transceiver is selected from Cisco-supported IE 2000 options.

Ordering description |
IE2000 with 8FE copper ports and 2GE combo, LAN Base, 1588 |
IE2000 with 8FE copper ports and 2GE uplinks, LAN Base |
IE2000 with 8FE copper ports and 2GE combo, Enhanced LAN Base |
IE2000 with 8FE copper ports and 2GE combo, LAN Lite |
- In an IE-2000-8TC-G-E vs IE-2000-8TC-G-B comparison, both models use 8 FE copper ports and 2 GE uplinks, but IE-2000-8TC-G-E adds IEEE 1588 and an L2NAT upgrade path in the Cisco table.
- The IE-2000-8TC-G-E vs IE-2000-8TC-G-N difference is the license tier and L2NAT status: IE-2000-8TC-G-E is LAN Base with upgrade-dependent L2NAT, while IE-2000-8TC-G-N is Enhanced LAN Base with L2NAT listed.
- For IE-2000-8TC-G-E vs IE-2000-8TC-G-L, the comparison starts with LAN Base plus IEEE 1588 versus LAN Lite without those listed timing and upgrade characteristics.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should keep the port count constant and select the suffix that matches the required license tier, IEEE 1588 need, and L2NAT entitlement plan.
Selection Guide
1. Select the E suffix for LAN Base timing
Select IE-2000-8TC-G-E when the BOM must keep the 8 FE and 2 GE combo layout while adding Cisco-listed IEEE 1588 to a LAN Base order.
2. Stay with B only for the simpler LAN Base row
Keep IE-2000-8TC-G-B on the quote only if the same GE-uplink port mix is enough and the project does not require the 1588 or L2NAT markings shown for the E or N variants.
3. Move upward when NAT must be listed
Move to IE-2000-8TC-G-N when Enhanced LAN Base and L2NAT need to appear at the selected PID level instead of being handled through an upgrade path.
4. Lock the physical and entitlement details
Verify the combo-port media, power-source wiring, enclosure depth, and software entitlement target because those details decide whether the E model is sufficient or a neighboring suffix is safer.
Ordering Checklist
|
Review area |
Required confirmation |
Procurement risk |
|---|---|---|
|
PID suffix |
IE-2000-8TC-G-E, not the B, L, or N variant |
Suffix drift changes IEEE 1588, license tier, and L2NAT treatment |
|
Timing scope |
IEEE 1588 is required on the selected LAN Base model |
Prevents buying the same-port LAN Base option that lacks the timing mark |
|
Combo uplinks |
RJ-45 or supported SFP media selected per GE uplink |
Avoids ordering optics or copper patching that does not match the staged link |
|
Software path |
LAN Base is acceptable and any Enhanced LAN Base or IP Lite upgrade is planned |
Keeps L2NAT and routing expectations from being assumed without entitlement |
|
Power and alarm wiring |
DC-A, DC-B, and alarm wiring are included in panel drawings |
Aligns the switch order with industrial power monitoring requirements |
|
Mechanical fit |
Long 10-port E/N chassis depth is allowed on the DIN rail |
Reduces risk of discovering enclosure-depth conflict after the switch arrives |
