What operating temperature range does IE-3300-8U2X-A support?

IE-3300-8U2X-A operates from -40°C to +70°C in a vented enclosure with 40 LFM of airflow. The unit is fanless and convection-cooled, so the cabinet must supply the airflow that the 40 LFM rating assumes.

What DC input voltage does IE-3300-8U2X-A need for PoE?

IE-3300-8U2X-A takes dual redundant DC inputs from 9.6 to 60VDC, and PoE needs a 48VDC feed. PoE+ and 4PPoE need 54VDC, and a 48VDC feed does not power PoE+ or 802.3bt endpoints.

Which IOS XE release added IOx support on IE-3300-8U2X-A?

IE-3300-8U2X-A has supported IOx since Cisco IOS XE 17.4.1, per the Catalyst IE3x00 release notes. A site that runs IOx applications on this Network Advantage switch must therefore be on 17.4.1 or later.

Which IEM-3300 modules add no PoE to IE-3300-8U2X-A?

IEM-3300-8T adds 8 copper Gigabit ports and IEM-3300-8S adds 8 SFP Gigabit ports, and both are listed as compatible with the Network Advantage base IE-3300-8U2X-A in the Cisco Industrial Ethernet DIN rail FAQ. Neither provides PoE or PoE+, so use IEM-3300-8P= or IEM-3300-16P= when more powered ports are needed.

What temperature limits apply to IE-3300-8U2X-A in a sealed enclosure?

IE-3300-8U2X-A is rated to +60°C in a sealed enclosure and to +75°C with at least 200 LFM of forced airflow. It is also type tested at +85°C for 16 hours. The +70°C figure applies only to a 40 LFM vented enclosure.

What maximum input current does IE-3300-8U2X-A draw, and is a 65W supply listed?

IE-3300-8U2X-A draws up to 10.5A at its maximum input current. PWR-IE65W-PC-AC= and PWR-IE65W-PC-DC= are the 65W PoE-capable DIN rail supplies, so they suit only small PoE loads next to the 42W switch draw, which must stay within the supply wattage.

IE-3300-8U2X-A Description

The IE-3300-8U2X-A is a Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series industrial switch for DIN-rail cabinets that power cameras and access points over 10G uplinks. The switch has eight Gigabit copper ports with 802.3bt Type 3 4PPoE, two 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks, a PoE budget of up to 480W with an expansion module and dual DC inputs from 9.6 to 60VDC, under the Network Advantage license. PoE needs a 48VDC feed, PoE+ and 4PPoE need 54VDC, and PTP runs in Default Profile only on this 10G base.

Key Features

Type 3 Power On The Copper Ports

The eight Gigabit ports support 802.3bt Type 3 alongside PoE and PoE+, so high-draw cameras and access points connect without injectors.

480W Budget And Input Voltage

The system budget reaches 480W with an expansion module, but only on the right feed: 48VDC supports PoE, while PoE+ and 4PPoE need 54VDC. Switch consumption of 42W plus the PoE load must stay within the external supply wattage.

Type 4 Through The 4MU Module

IEM-3300-4MU= adds four 2.5G ports with 802.3bt Type 4 power. The module does not support PTP.

Advantage Routing And Segmentation

Network Advantage adds OSPF, BGP, RIP, IS-IS and EIGRP, VRF-lite, PIM multicast routing and MACsec-256 to the Essentials baseline of Layer 2, REP rings and PROFINET.

Backhaul For A Powered Edge

Two 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks carry the video and wireless traffic of a PoE cabinet. L2NAT is not available on these uplink ports.

Timing Limits On The 10G Base

IEEE 1588 PTPv2 runs in Default Profile only. Power Profile (IEEE C37.238) designs use the Gigabit-uplink IE3300 bases.

Application Scenarios

Powered Wireless Coverage

In a production hall or warehouse, the switch powers 802.3bt access points from its copper ports and carries their combined traffic back over the 10G uplinks.

Multicast Video Aggregation

A surveillance cabinet that collects high-power PTZ cameras can use the switch to power them and route their multicast streams toward recording and monitoring networks with PIM.

Roadside ITS Cabinet

At a traffic intersection, the switch powers cameras and sensors in the cabinet and hands the corridor traffic upstream at 10G, within the NEMA TS 2 environmental range.

IE-3300-8U2X-A and IE-3300-8U2X-E are the same hardware with the same 480W PoE budget, 42W draw and 10G uplinks; the -A license adds OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, VRF-lite, PIM multicast and MACsec-256, so a cabinet that routes or encrypts uplinks at 256-bit should stay on IE-3300-8U2X-A. A Layer 2 powered edge can drop to IE-3300-8U2X-E and keep MACsec-128 and static routing, and can still reach Advantage later with the perpetual IE3300-NW-A= license. Cabinets with no powered endpoints fit IE-3300-8T2X-A at 28W. Designs that need IEEE C37.238 Power Profile timing move to a GE-uplink base such as IE-3300-8P2S-A, which has a 360W PoE budget.

PoE Power Planning

Planning Item	Value or Check
PoE standards	IEEE 802.3af/at and 802.3bt Type 3 on 8 downlinks; 802.3bt Type 4 via IEM-3300-4MU= module ports
PoE power budget	Up to 480W system budget including expansion module
Port configurations	Up to 24 PoE/PoE+ ports with module, or 8x bt Type 3, or 4x bt Type 4 (4MU)
Input voltage for PoE	48VDC for PoE; 54VDC for PoE+ and 4PPoE
Supply sizing rule	Switch consumption (42W) plus active PoE budget must stay within the external supply wattage
Supply pairing	PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L= covers the full budget; 170W/240W units serve partial loads; verify hazardous-location certification per site

Ordering Checklist

Power supply: For the full 480W budget order PWR-IE480W-PCAC-L=; PWR-IE170W-PC-AC=, PWR-IE170W-PC-DC= and PWR-IE240W-PCAC-L= cover partial PoE loads. Switch draw plus PoE load must stay within the supply wattage; an undersized supply cannot deliver the PoE budget, and -L units are not certified for smart grid or hazardous-location sites.
Input voltage: Feed 54VDC for PoE+ and 4PPoE ports; 48VDC supports basic PoE only. A 48VDC feed does not power PoE+ or 802.3bt endpoints.
Expansion module: Order one IEM-3300 module per base; IEM-3300-4MU= is the only route to 802.3bt Type 4 (4 ports) and does not support PTP, while IEM-3300-8P= and IEM-3300-16P= add PoE/PoE+ ports up to 24 in total. Type 4 endpoints and added PoE ports depend on the module chosen.
Catalyst Center license: Add IE3300-DNA-A or a term such as IE3300-DNA-A-3Y, only if Catalyst Center manages the switch. The license is an optional add-on, and Catalyst Center Advantage needs a Network Advantage switch like this one.
SD card: Add SD-IE-16GB= when SwapDrive replacement is planned. The card is optional and is not shipped by default.
Uplink optics: Select industrial-grade SFP+ for the 10G ports; SFP-10G-ZR-I= still derates the switch by 6°C. COM and EXT grade SFPs force a temperature derating of the whole switch.
