IE-3000-8TC Description
IE-3000-8TC is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3000 Series switch for rugged Layer 2 access in factory automation and other industrial Ethernet environments, with eight 10/100BASE-T access ports and two dual-purpose uplinks that support either 10/100/1000 copper or SFP fiber on each uplink position. Cisco identifies this SKU as an industrial Ethernet switch with the Layer 2 LAN Base image installed, support for approved IE 3000 expansion-module combinations, an 18-60 VDC input range, and 15.7 W maximum power consumption.

Product Performance
Key Features
The eight 10/100BASE-T access ports give OT cabinets more local device connections than the four-port IE-3000-4TC while staying in the same IE 3000 family.
Each uplink position can use either the RJ-45 Gigabit copper side or the SFP side, so the cabling plan should decide the media before optics and patch leads are quoted.
IE-3000-8TC is the Layer 2 LAN Base image model, while IE-3000-8TC-E is the matching eight-port base switch with the IP Services image.
Cisco documents IE 3000 expansion support for copper, FX fiber, SFP, and PoE module options, with the base switch able to accept supported combinations.
The base switch uses an 18-60 VDC input range and has a listed maximum power consumption of 15.7 W, which should be matched against the cabinet power design.
Cisco documents a fanless IE 3000 switch design with DIN-rail, wall, and 19 in rack mounting options for industrial enclosures and racks.
Application Scenarios
Use IE-3000-8TC when the cabinet needs eight Fast Ethernet device ports for controllers, drives, HMIs, sensors, or gateways without moving to the IP Services SKU.
Serves LAN Base IE 3000 deployments where VLAN, access switching, and industrial management features are required but the BOM does not call for the Layer 3 image.
Choose IE-3000-8TC when the access layer may terminate on Gigabit copper or SFP fiber, because each dual-purpose uplink has one active media side.

- In an IE-3000-8TC vs IE-3000-4TC comparison, the confirmed difference is access-port density: IE-3000-8TC has eight 10/100BASE-T access ports and IE-3000-4TC has four.
- The IE-3000-8TC vs IE-3000-8TC-E difference is the installed software image, because the current SKU is LAN Base and the -E version is IP Services.
- For buyers deciding which model to choose, IE-3000-8TC fits an eight-port LAN Base BOM, IE-3000-4TC fits a four-port LAN Base BOM, and IE-3000-8TC-E fits an eight-port IP Services BOM. IE-2000-8TC-G-B is included as an additional same-family comparison point.
Selection Guide
1. Match the access-port count first
Choose IE-3000-8TC when the base cabinet needs eight 10/100 Ethernet device drops before any expansion module is added.
2. Keep the -E suffix out unless Layer 3 is required
Use IE-3000-8TC-E only when the Cisco IP Services image is a requirement; otherwise IE-3000-8TC is the eight-port LAN Base model.
3. Treat uplinks as a media choice
Specify copper or SFP use for each dual-purpose uplink, because the RJ-45 and SFP sides are alternate front ends for the same uplink position.
4. Quote expansion as a separate design item
Add copper, FX fiber, SFP, or PoE expansion modules only after checking the supported IE 3000 module combination and the external power requirement for PoE modules.
