IE-3300-8U2X-E Description
IE-3300-8U2X-E is a Cisco Catalyst IE3300 modular industrial Ethernet switch with Network Essentials, eight 4PPoE Type 3 copper ports, and two 1G/10G SFP-based uplinks. It fits DIN-rail cabinets that need higher-power endpoint support and 10G-capable fiber handoff in the same base switch.
This SKU is the Essentials-tier match for purchases that require 4PPoE access and the 8U2X uplink profile. IE-3300-8U2X-A keeps the same power and uplink layout with Network Advantage, IE-3300-8T2X-E removes PoE, and IE-3300-8P2S-E uses lower PoE class with 100/1000 SFP uplinks.
Before buying, verify the PoE voltage plan, 480 W system budget, SFP/SFP+ optic choices, expansion module plan, redundant DC input, DIN-rail space, and exact SKU. Layer23-Switch can help confirm stock, price, compatibility, warranty coverage, shipping options, lead time, and shipment details.

Product Performance
Key Features
IE-3300-8U2X-E is the Network Essentials order line for the 8U2X hardware profile, which keeps it separate from IE-3300-8U2X-A when the network license tier is part of the approval.
The copper side is not a standard data-only RJ45 block; Cisco identifies the eight 10/100/1000 ports as 4PPoE Type 3 ports, making endpoint power demand a required BOM check.
The two fiber uplinks are listed as 1/10 Gigabit Ethernet SFP-based ports, so buyers should not substitute the 8P2S or 8T2S models when 10G uplink speed is required.
One IE3300 expansion module can be attached to the base system, and Cisco module tables show 18 or 26 total system ports depending on the selected module.
The IE3300 power table keeps the 8U2X on redundant DC input while calling out 48VDC for PoE and 54VDC for PoE+ / 4PPoE, which affects industrial power-supply selection.
Cisco’s physical table lists the IE-3300-8U2X-E as a DIN-rail switch with a 6 x 4.4 x 5.3 in. chassis and 4.5 lb weight before any expansion module is added.
Application Scenarios
IE-3300-8U2X-E fits industrial cabinets that need eight powered Gigabit copper links for field devices while keeping two SFP-based uplinks available for 1G or 10G fiber handoff.
Use this SKU when the project standardizes on IE3300 8U2X hardware but the approved feature baseline is Network Essentials instead of Network Advantage.
The model fits designs where the first order includes the base 8U2X switch and later adds a Cisco-listed expansion module, provided the shared PoE budget and power supply are planned as one system.

- In an IE-3300-8U2X-E vs IE-3300-8U2X-A comparison, the port and PoE layout stays aligned at 8 4PPoE copper ports and 2 1/10G SFP-based uplinks; the confirmed difference is Network Essentials versus Network Advantage.
- The IE-3300-8U2X-E vs IE-3300-8T2X-E difference is powered access: IE-3300-8U2X-E carries the 4PPoE Type 3 copper profile and 10.5A input-current row, while IE-3300-8T2X-E is the non-PoE 8T2X Essentials model.
- For IE-3300-8U2X-E vs IE-3300-8P2S-E, the comparison should check uplink class and PoE budget because IE-3300-8U2X-E uses 1/10G SFP-based uplinks with up to 480W including expansion module, while IE-3300-8P2S-E uses 100/1000 SFP-based uplinks and a 240W base or 360W expanded PoE budget.
- The which model to choose review should start with license tier, then confirm whether the deployment needs 4PPoE Type 3 copper, 10G-capable fiber uplinks, and a 480W system power design.
Selection Guide
1. Choose 8U2X-E for Essentials plus powered copper
Select IE-3300-8U2X-E when the approved bill requires Network Essentials, eight 4PPoE Type 3 copper ports, and two 1/10G SFP-based uplinks in the IE3300 rugged family.
2. Move to 8U2X-A for the Advantage tier
Use IE-3300-8U2X-A only when the same 8U2X port and PoE profile must ship with Network Advantage as the default network license.
3. Keep 8T2X-E for non-PoE endpoints
Move to IE-3300-8T2X-E when the design still needs Network Essentials and 1/10G SFP-based uplinks but endpoint power is handled outside the switch.
4. Verify the power budget as a system value
Confirm the DC supply, expansion module, and endpoint draw together because Cisco ties the 480W figure to the 8U2X system with the required PoE voltage and module plan.
