IE-3100-18T2C-E Description
IE-3100-18T2C-E is a Cisco Catalyst IE3100 Rugged Series industrial Ethernet switch with the Network Essentials license for rugged access switching in control cabinets, transportation systems, utilities, and other industrial edge locations. This non-PoE model provides eighteen 10/100/1000 RJ45 copper downlink ports and two dual-media 1000BASE-T/1000BASE-X combo uplinks, giving buyers a compact way to aggregate copper field devices while keeping copper or fiber Gigabit uplink options. Cisco lists dual DC inputs, a 12V to 48V nominal input range, 36.7 W power consumption, 29.76 Mpps forwarding rate, DIN-rail mounting, and IP30-rated rugged construction, so the SKU is best understood as a high-density copper IE3100 access switch rather than a PoE, conformal-coated, or IE3105 Layer 2 NAT variant.

Product Performance
Key Features
IE-3100-18T2C-E gives the IE3100 family an 18-port RJ45 downlink profile for endpoints that do not require switch-supplied PoE power.
The two uplink positions support 1000BASE-T or 1000BASE-X use, so sourcing should separate RJ45 uplink cabling from any rugged SFP optics.
Cisco maps this exact PID to Network Essentials, which keeps the software tier tied to the E suffix during substitution review.
Choose the base IE-3100-18T2C-E line when conformal coating is not required; Cisco lists IE-3100-18T2C-CC-E as the coated counterpart.
The switch uses dual DC inputs and the data sheet lists 12V to 48V nominal input with 36.7 W consumption for this 18T2C model.
Keep Layer 2 NAT and FPGA data-path assumptions out of the base IE-3100-18T2C-E order unless the project moves to an IE3105 18T2C PID.
Application Scenarios
IE-3100-18T2C-E fits control cabinets where many PLCs, HMIs, controllers, drives, sensors, or other Ethernet devices need Gigabit RJ45 access without PoE load planning.
Deployed where the access switch must keep two 1GE uplink positions flexible between copper handoff and rugged SFP fiber handoff.
This SKU suits projects that need the 18T2C Network Essentials base switch rather than the conformal-coated IE-3100-18T2C-CC-E or the IE3105 feature set on IE-3105-18T2C-E.

- In an IE-3100-18T2C-E vs IE-3100-18T2C-CC-E comparison, the port count, combo uplinks, license tier, and 36.7 W power value match; the confirmed difference is conformal coating.
- The IE-3100-18T2C-E vs IE-3105-18T2C-E difference is the feature boundary because IE-3105-18T2C-E adds the Cisco-listed FPGA data path and IE3105 Layer 2 NAT scope.
- For an IE-3100-18T2C-E vs IE-3100-8T2C-E comparison, the decision is copper density: IE-3100-18T2C-E has 18 RJ45 downlinks and 20 total ports, while IE-3100-8T2C-E has 8 RJ45 downlinks and 10 total ports.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should lock the need for conformal coating, IE3105 functions, and access-port count before treating these Network Essentials IE3100 PIDs as substitutes.
Selection Guide
1. Select the standard 18T2C profile
Choose IE-3100-18T2C-E when the BOM requires 18 Gigabit copper downlinks, two 1GE combo uplinks, Network Essentials, and no PoE power budget.
2. Move to the coated 18T2C PID when needed
Use IE-3100-18T2C-CC-E only when the same 20-port layout must ship with Cisco-listed conformal coating.
3. Keep IE3105 requirements separate
Select IE-3105-18T2C-E when the deployment specifically requires the IE3105 FPGA data path and Layer 2 NAT on the documented uplink interfaces.
4. Reduce port count only for smaller cabinets
Move to IE-3100-8T2C-E when eight RJ45 downlinks are enough and the project still needs two 1GE combo uplinks with Network Essentials.
