Established Global IT Distributor
With over a decade of industry experience, we are a certified Cisco Partner delivering genuine enterprise networking hardware and trusted services to system integrators, ISPs, and enterprises worldwide.
IE-3400H-16FT-A Description
The IE-3400H-16FT-A is the 16-port Fast Ethernet member of the Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Heavy Duty Series, presenting 16x 10/100M ports on M12 D-coded 4-pin connectors in the same IP66/IP67 and UL 50E Type 4X housing as its Gigabit siblings, with the perpetual Network Advantage license. It targets the sensor-class edge: instrument networks, legacy automation devices, and I/O blocks that speak 100M and connect over D-coded cordsets, mounted on machines and outdoor structures where no cabinet protects the switch. The full IOS XE stack is unchanged - Advantage supplies OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, VRF-lite, TrustSec SGT/SGACL, MACsec-256, and multicast routing over the Essentials baseline of REP and MRP rings, PRP, HSR, DLR, certified PROFINET and EtherNet/IP (CIP), IEEE 1588 PTPv2, and IOx edge compute. The -40°C to +75°C span, 13,800 ft ceiling, and corrosion type-testing carry over, though the automotive and railway certification set stays exclusive to the GE (-T) models.

Product Performance
Key Features
Sixteen 10/100M drops run the same IOS XE, security, and redundancy stack as the Gigabit models, so slow endpoints do not force a step down to an unmanaged or lightly managed sealed switch.
M12 D-coded 4-pin connectors match the cordsets already used by industrial sensors, I/O blocks, and legacy automation devices, letting the switch drop into an existing FE cable plant unchanged.
OSPF, BGP, EIGRP, VRF-lite, TrustSec SGT/SGACL, and MACsec-256 are perpetual on this PID, so even an instrument-only network gets routed segmentation and group-based policy at its exposed edge.
REP, PROFINET-MRP, PRP on Gig1/1-1/4, HSR-SAN, HSR-PRP Dual Redbox, and DLR all arrive with the Essentials baseline inside Advantage, closing redundant rings across the slow-speed edge.
The IP66/IP67 Type 4X housing plus IEC 60068-2-52 salt mist and 2-60 mixed gas type-testing suit washdown chemicals, coastal air, and corrosive process atmospheres without an enclosure.
Drawing 38.4W at 9.6V with a 4.0A maximum, the FE model runs about 3W leaner than its GE twin on the same PWR-IE160W-67-DC= unit or machine DC circuit.
Application Scenarios
Bolted to chemical, water, and food-processing skids where transmitters, analyzers, and valve controllers communicate at 100M over D-coded M12 runs exposed to washdown.
Concentrating existing Fast Ethernet automation hardware – older PLCs, I/O gateways, serial-to-Ethernet converters – onto one sealed managed node during brownfield modernization.
Collecting weather, gate, and monitoring devices across yards, dams, and agricultural structures where bandwidth stays low but temperature swings and spray rule out cabinet gear.

- The IE-3400H-16FT-A and IE-3400H-16T-A share one housing, license tier, and reliability figure; the FE model swaps Gigabit X-coded ports for 100M D-coded ports, saves about 3W, and gives up the automotive/railway certification set, making media type and vehicle duty the entire decision.
- IE-3400H-8T-A answers a different question – fewer but faster drops: 8 Gigabit ports at a lower 30.4W draw and higher MTBF, for mounting points where bandwidth per device outweighs port count.
- For deciding which SKU to order, inventory the endpoints first: an all-100M estate on D-coded cabling with no onboard-rail requirement fits IE-3400H-16FT-A, any Gigabit or vehicle-certified need moves the order to IE-3400H-16T-A, and small high-bandwidth clusters take IE-3400H-8T-A.
Selection Guide
1. Match The Media Before The Count
This model exists for D-coded 100M estates; a single Gigabit camera or future high-bandwidth endpoint in the plan is enough to shift the slot to IE-3400H-16T-A, because the fixed housing offers no mixed or upgradeable media.
2. Where FE Keeps Its Place
Process instrumentation, brownfield automation, and telemetry rarely exceed 100M per device, so the FE model serves those sites at the series’ lowest 16-port power draw while keeping the full Advantage feature set.
3. Check The Certification Boundary
Trackside, onboard-rail, and vehicle projects must specify a GE (-T) SKU: this FE model carries the industrial, outdoor, and corrosion approvals but not UN ECE R10, E-Mark, the EN50155 group, or EN45545-2.
4. Same Power Discipline As The Family
Plan one 9.6-60VDC feed rated for 4.0A through the Mini-Change input – PWR-IE160W-67-DC= where no site source exists – plus D-coded data cordsets and CAB-CONSOLE-M12= for commissioning, with no second redundant input available.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Endpoint speed audit |
Verify every attached device stays at 10/100M for the hardware’s life. |
A Gigabit requirement cannot be met later; the FE housing is fixed and slotless. |
|
D-coded cable plant |
Order M12 D-coded 4-pin cordsets for the populated ports. |
X-coded Gigabit leads and RJ45 patch cables do not mate with FE ports. |
|
DC feed and cordset |
Provide a 9.6-60VDC source rated for 4.0A plus the Molex Mini-Change cordset or PWR-IE160W-67-DC=. |
The box includes no supply, and only Mini-Change wiring fits the input. |
|
Single-feed sign-off |
Accept one power input in the redundancy plan. |
No IE3400H offers the dual feeds of the DIN rail IE3400 line. |
|
Console and SD extras |
Add CAB-CONSOLE-M12= and, for SwapDrive replacement, SD-IE-16GB. |
Serial access and zero-touch restore both depend on these separately ordered parts. |
|
Certification scope |
Confirm the project needs no vehicle/rail approvals and no hazardous-location listing. |
Those certificate groups belong to GE SKUs only, and hazloc is absent series-wide. |
