IE-3300-8T2S-A Description
The IE-3300-8T2S-A is a Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series modular industrial switch that carries 8 Gigabit copper downlinks and 2 Gigabit SFP uplinks on a fanless DIN rail platform, ordered with the perpetual Network Advantage license. Running Cisco IOS XE with Secure Boot and the Trust Anchor module, it serves as a full-featured OT access and aggregation node: the Advantage tier adds OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, VRF-lite segmentation, MACsec-256 encryption, and IP multicast routing on top of the Essentials baseline of REP and MRP rings, PROFINET and EtherNet/IP (CIP), IEEE 1588 PTPv2 timing, and IOx edge compute for Cyber Vision. A single expansion bay accepts IEM-3300 modules that grow the system to as many as 26 Gigabit ports, while dual 9.6-60VDC feeds, a -40°C to +70°C vented operating range, and substation, rail, and Class I Div 2 approvals put the switch in manufacturing lines, utility yards, and roadside cabinets rather than climate-controlled closets.

Product Performance
Key Features
One IEM-3300 module slot takes the base 10 ports to as many as 26 GE ports later, so a cell that grows gets copper, fiber, or PoE capacity (on PoE bases) without replacing the installed switch.
OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, PBR, and VRF-lite ship in this SKU’s perpetual license, letting the switch originate routed segmentation at the machine edge instead of trunking everything to a distribution layer.
The Advantage tier’s 256-bit MACsec secures switch-to-switch links across exposed cable paths, a concrete difference from the Essentials variant’s MACsec-128 ceiling.
As a GE-uplink base, the switch runs IEEE 1588 PTPv2 in both Default and Power Profile (IEEE C37.238), which keeps it eligible for substation and utility timing designs that the 10G-uplink IE3300 bases cannot serve.
Two redundant DC inputs span control-panel and utility voltage rails, and the 23W draw keeps the switch inside existing panel power budgets with an external 50W DIN supply.
IEEE 1613 and IEC 61850-3 substation compliance, EN50121/EN50155 rail EMC, NEMA TS 2, DNV marine, and Class I Div 2 hazardous-location approval qualify one PID across utility, transport, and process sites.
Application Scenarios
Positioned above machine-level switches on a production floor, terminating cell VLANs into VRF-lite segments and routing them toward the plant core over the two SFP uplinks.
Deployed in substation yards and control houses where IEC 61850-3 compliance and PTP Power Profile distribution are design requirements alongside relay and RTU connectivity.
Installed in oil and gas or water-treatment cabinets that sit a fiber run away from the control room, using industrial SFP optics for the backhaul and the eight copper ports for local instruments.

- The IE-3300-8T2S-A and IE-3300-8P2S-A share the same GE uplinks and Advantage license; the 8P2S adds a 240W PoE budget (360W with a PoE expansion module) at a higher 10.5A supply class, so the presence of powered endpoints at the cabinet is the entire decision between these two PIDs.
- Against IE-3300-8T2X-A, the trade is uplink bandwidth versus timing scope: the 8T2X moves the same copper access ports onto 2x 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks but drops PTP to Default Profile only, while the IE-3300-8T2S-A keeps Power Profile support for utility designs at GE uplink speeds.
- For deciding which SKU to order, settle PoE first (IE-3300-8P2S-A when endpoints draw power), then uplink bandwidth against timing requirements: 10G backhaul without Power Profile points to IE-3300-8T2X-A, and PTP Power Profile or GE-sufficient uplinks keep the order on IE-3300-8T2S-A.
Selection Guide
1. When Advantage Pays At The Edge
Designs that terminate VRF segments, run OSPF or BGP adjacencies, encrypt uplinks with MACsec-256, or route multicast at the access node use exactly what this -A license carries; a pure Layer 2 ring member does the same job on IE-3300-8T2S-E and can be field-upgraded later with the perpetual IE3300-NW-A= license if routing arrives.
2. Uplink Media Before Port Count
The two SFP slots take 100M and 1G optics up to the 70 km GLC-ZX-SM-RGD; a backhaul that needs 10G today or next budget cycle belongs on IE-3300-8T2X-A from the start, because uplink speed is fixed at the base-model choice.
3. Timing Designs Stay On GE Bases
Substation and wide-area timing plans that require PTP Power Profile (IEEE C37.238) must stay on GE-uplink bases like this SKU; the 10G-uplink IE3300 bases support Default Profile only, which rules them out of C37.238 architectures regardless of bandwidth appeal.
4. Expansion Module Strategy
The module bay accepts data modules on this non-PoE base (IEM-3300-8T/8S/16T/6T2S/14T2S); a site that expects powered endpoints later should order IE-3300-8P2S-A now, since PoE expansion modules only pair with PoE base switches.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
External supply pairing |
Order a DIN rail supply (PWR-IE50W-AC= class for this non-PoE base) sized for 23W plus any module. |
IE3300 switches ship without a power supply; a missing or undersized unit stalls commissioning. |
|
Dual-feed wiring |
Plan both 9.6-60VDC inputs if the design claims power redundancy. |
A single-feed install silently gives up the redundancy the dual inputs were selected for. |
|
Expansion module fit |
Match the module to this data-only base (no PoE modules) and allow 2-3 inches of extra DIN width. |
PoE modules are rejected on non-PoE bases, and an unplanned width increase can miss the enclosure cutout. |
|
SD card for SwapDrive |
Add SD-IE-16GB= when zero-touch field replacement is part of the operations plan. |
The SD card is optional and not shipped by default; without it SwapDrive replacement has nothing to restore from. |
|
Optic temperature grade |
Use -RGD industrial optics in unheated or hot cabinets; COM/EXT grades derate the operating range. |
A commercial optic quietly narrows the -40°C envelope the switch was specified for. |
|
Classified-area parts |
Verify supply and enclosure choices against Class I Div 2 / Zone 2 requirements (no -L supplies). |
Mixing uncertified parts into a classified cabinet fails site acceptance. |
