IE-3300-8U2X-A Description
IE-3300-8U2X-A is a Cisco Catalyst IE3300 modular industrial Ethernet switch with Network Advantage, eight 4PPoE Type 3 copper ports, and two 1G/10G SFP-based uplinks. It is used in DIN-rail cabinets where higher endpoint power, expansion support, and 10G-capable uplinks are required together.
The order should stay on IE-3300-8U2X-A when the 8U2X hardware is correct and the BOM calls for Network Advantage. IE-3300-8U2X-E keeps the same port and PoE profile with Network Essentials, IE-3300-8T2X-A removes powered access, and IE-3300-8P2S-A shifts to PoE/PoE+ with GE SFP uplinks.
Before ordering, confirm the 4PPoE load, 480 W power budget, 54 VDC requirement, SFP/SFP+ optic plan, expansion module needs, stock, price, warranty, shipping, and lead time. Layer23-Switch can help verify compatibility and shipment details for the exact Cisco PID.

Product Performance
Key Features
The -A suffix matters because Cisco maps IE-3300-8U2X-A to Network Advantage, so license-tier approval should happen at the base switch SKU rather than after staging.
This model keeps the 8U2X layout of eight 4PPoE Type 3 copper ports and two 1/10G SFP-based uplinks, which keeps the powered-access decision separate from the fiber speed decision.
Cisco lists the 8U2X PoE budget at up to 480W including expansion module, so endpoint count, expansion choice, and power-supply wattage should be reviewed together.
The IE3300 expansion design allows one attached module, which prevents a BOM from assuming multiple side modules or a hot-swap expansion procedure.
The switch family uses DC input, and Cisco calls out 54VDC for PoE+ / 4PPoE operation, making the DIN-rail power source a selection item for this model.
DIN-rail mounting, Cisco IOS XE, and documented industrial temperature ranges place this SKU in compact OT cabinets rather than standard enterprise wiring closets.
Application Scenarios
IE-3300-8U2X-A fits cabinets that aggregate powered cameras, access points, sensors, or other field devices while handing traffic upstream over 1G or 10G SFP-based fiber.
The SKU is appropriate when the project standard already calls for Network Advantage features and the buyer wants the license tier reflected in the hardware PID.
Use the 8U2X-A profile for IE3300 refreshes that may add one Cisco-listed expansion module later, with the PoE budget and module type reviewed before the final order is released.

- In an IE-3300-8U2X-A vs IE-3300-8U2X-E comparison, the port and PoE layout remains 8 4PPoE copper ports plus 2 1/10G SFP-based uplinks; the confirmed difference is Network Advantage versus Network Essentials.
- The IE-3300-8U2X-A vs IE-3300-8T2X-A difference is powered access, because IE-3300-8U2X-A carries the 4PPoE Type 3 copper profile and 480W PoE budget while IE-3300-8T2X-A is non-PoE.
- For IE-3300-8U2X-A vs IE-3300-8P2S-A, the comparison should check uplink speed and powered-port class because IE-3300-8U2X-A uses 1/10G SFP-based uplinks with 4PPoE Type 3 ports, while IE-3300-8P2S-A uses 100/1000 SFP-based uplinks with PoE/PoE+.
- The which model to choose review should start with the default license tier, then verify whether the design needs 4PPoE Type 3 access, 10G-capable SFP uplinks, and a 480W PoE system budget.
Selection Guide
1. Anchor the line item on Advantage
Choose IE-3300-8U2X-A when the order must include Network Advantage by default and the deployment also needs the 8U2X powered-port hardware.
2. Downgrade only when Essentials is approved
Move to IE-3300-8U2X-E only if the project accepts Network Essentials on the same 8U2X PoE and uplink layout.
3. Remove powered access before choosing 8T2X-A
Select IE-3300-8T2X-A only after confirming that powered endpoints are not part of the switch line item and the copper ports can remain non-PoE.
4. Keep the PoE budget tied to expansion
Verify the power source and expansion module together because the 480W budget is documented as an 8U2X system value that includes the module plan.

Size the power supply and module together instead of treating the base switch as an isolated line item |
|
PoE voltage requirement |
54VDC for PoE+ / 4PPoE |
Confirm the DIN-rail power source supports the required powered-port mode |
|
Power supply wattage rule |

Avoid endpoint power assumptions that exceed the documented power source |
Ordering Checklist
|
Review area |
What to verify |
Why it changes the order |
|---|---|---|
|
PID and license suffix |
The order line is IE-3300-8U2X-A and the default tier is Network Advantage |
Blocks an accidental move to IE-3300-8U2X-E when the feature baseline depends on Advantage |
|
Powered endpoint class |
The access requirement is 4PPoE Type 3 on eight Gigabit copper ports |
Prevents using 8P2S PoE+ or 8T2X non-PoE hardware for endpoints that need the 8U2X profile |
|
Fiber handoff |
The uplinks must be 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP-based ports |
Separates this SKU from 100/1000 SFP-based IE3300 alternatives |
|
DC power source |
PoE+ / 4PPoE operation is planned around 54VDC |
Reduces commissioning risk when the switch is expected to power attached devices |
|
Expansion decision |
Only one Cisco-listed IE3300 expansion module is included or reserved |
Keeps port count and PoE budget assumptions inside the supported modular design |
|
Optics line items |
SFP speed, reach, fiber type, and temperature class are confirmed from Cisco support data |
Avoids a 10G uplink order with the wrong media or environmental rating |
|
Management entitlement |
Catalyst Center licensing is treated separately from the Network Advantage network tier |
Prevents the base switch license from being confused with a management subscription |
