IE-3300-8T2X-A Description
IE-3300-8T2X-A is a Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series industrial Ethernet switch with 8 Gigabit copper downlink ports, 2 fiber 1G/10G SFP-based uplink ports, modular expansion support, and Network Advantage as the default license level.
The order boundary is not just the uplink speed. IE-3300-8T2X-E uses the same 8 GE copper and 2 10G SFP hardware profile with Network Essentials, while IE-3300-8U2X-A keeps the 10G uplinks and Network Advantage but changes the copper side to a PoE-capable 8U2X model with a documented PoE budget.
Quote review should lock the non-PoE 8T2X base switch, redundant DC power design, 10G or 1G SFP optic plan, expansion-module requirement, and any Catalyst Center add-on license before this SKU is placed on the bill of materials.

Product Performance
Key Features
IE-3300-8T2X-A ships as the Network Advantage variant, so it should not be substituted with IE-3300-8T2X-E unless the project intentionally changes to Network Essentials.
The 8T2X hardware profile uses 2 fiber 1G/10G SFP-based uplink ports, separating it from the 8T2S models that use 100/1000 SFP-based uplinks.
Cisco lists the 8T2X model as non-PoE with no PoE budget, so endpoint power must be handled outside this switch line item or moved to a PoE-capable IE3300 SKU.
The chassis supports one expansion module, and Cisco’s compatibility table lists non-PoE copper and SFP IE3300 modules that can be paired with the 8T2X base system.
The data sheet documents redundant DC input for IE3300 switches, with the 8T2X power table showing 9.6 to 60VDC and 4.5A for this model family.
Cisco documents IE3300 operation from -40C to +70C in a 40 LFM vented enclosure, with separate sealed and fan-equipped enclosure limits that should be checked during cabinet design.
Application Scenarios
IE-3300-8T2X-A fits industrial access cabinets where the local endpoint count is eight copper links but the upstream handoff needs the 1G/10G SFP-based uplink class.
Use this SKU when the design standardizes on the IE3300 rugged hardware family and requires Network Advantage from the base order rather than adding it later to an Essentials PID.
The SKU suits bills that need an IE3300 base switch with room for an approved copper or SFP expansion module while keeping the base switch outside PoE endpoint power planning.

- In an IE-3300-8T2X-A vs IE-3300-8T2X-E comparison, the hardware layout stays aligned at 8 GE copper ports and 2 1G/10G SFP-based uplinks, while the confirmed difference is Network Advantage versus Network Essentials.
- The IE-3300-8T2X-A vs IE-3300-8T2S-A difference is the fiber uplink class: IE-3300-8T2X-A uses 1G/10G SFP-based uplinks, while IE-3300-8T2S-A uses 100/1000 SFP-based uplinks.
- For IE-3300-8T2X-A vs IE-3300-8U2X-A, the comparison should focus on PoE and current draw: IE-3300-8T2X-A is non-PoE at 4.5A maximum input current, while IE-3300-8U2X-A is the PoE-capable 8U2X Network Advantage variant at 10.5A.
- The which model to choose check should start with Network Advantage, then confirm 10G uplink need, PoE requirement, and whether a supported expansion module is part of the system.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for Advantage plus 10G uplinks
Select IE-3300-8T2X-A when the approved design calls for Network Advantage and two 1G/10G SFP-based uplinks on the IE3300 rugged platform.
2. Keep Essentials only on the E variant
Use IE-3300-8T2X-E only when the same 8T2X hardware should ship with Network Essentials instead of the Advantage license level.
3. Move to 8U2X for powered endpoints
Specify IE-3300-8U2X-A when the copper ports need the Cisco-listed PoE-capable 8U2X profile rather than a non-PoE 8T2X base switch.
4. Verify the expansion and optics plan
Confirm the selected IE3300 expansion module and 1G or 10G SFP optics before the order is finalized because the base PID does not define every downstream port or fiber reach.

|
Exact PID |
Cisco PID IE-3300-8T2X-A with Network Advantage |
Prevents accidental substitution with the Essentials 8T2X-E order line |
|
Uplink class |
2 fiber 1G/10G SFP-based uplink ports |
Avoids ordering the 8T2S model when the design needs 10G uplinks |
|
Endpoint power |
Non-PoE 8T2X base switch with no PoE budget |
Keeps powered endpoint assumptions away from this SKU |
|
DC input |
9.6 to 60VDC redundant DC input voltage and 4.5A maximum input current |
Confirms the industrial power supply and wiring plan |
|
Expansion module |
Only one compatible IE3300 expansion module can be attached |
Prevents stacking expansion modules or adding unsupported PoE modules |
|
SFP selection |
Optic speed, media, reach, and temperature rating match Cisco support data |
Reduces mismatch risk on 1G or 10G uplinks |
|
Management license |
Catalyst Center licenses are optional add-ons and separate from the Network Advantage tier |
Keeps network tier and management entitlement lines from being conflated |
