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-16T-E Description
The IE-3400H-16T-E is the Network Essentials entry into the 16-port Gigabit tier of the Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Heavy Duty Series, pairing 16 GE M12 X-coded ports with an IP66/IP67 and UL 50E Type 4X sealed housing that mounts on machines, walls, and vehicles without any cabinet. The Essentials license already carries the redundancy and industrial protocol set that defines most sealed-switch deployments - REP and PROFINET-MRP rings, PRP, HSR-SAN and HSR-PRP Dual Redbox, DLR, EtherNet/IP (CIP) and certified PROFINET, IEEE 1588 PTPv2 in Default and Power Profile, L2NAT, MACsec-128, and IOx edge compute for Cyber Vision - on the same IOS XE image as the IE3400 Rugged Series. When dynamic routing, VRF segmentation, TrustSec, or MACsec-256 later enter the design, the perpetual IE3400H-NW-A= license upgrades this unit in place. GE-hardware vehicle and railway approvals, corrosion type-testing, and the -40°C to +75°C envelope hold across the license tiers.

Product Performance
Key Features
Seamless and rapid redundancy – PRP on Gig1/1-1/4, HSR-SAN, HSR-PRP Dual Redbox, DLR, REP, PROFINET-MRP – ships in this base license, so resilient sealed rings need nothing beyond the -E PID.
The IP66/IP67 Type 4X housing takes 16 locking X-coded connections straight into washdown spray and outdoor weather, replacing an enclosure-plus-switch assembly at dense mounting points.
The perpetual IE3400H-NW-A= license converts this unit to the full Advantage feature set – dynamic routing, VRF-lite, TrustSec SGT/SGACL, MACsec-256 – without touching the installed hardware.
EtherNet/IP (CIP) support and certified PROFINET operation sit alongside GOOSE and MODBUS classification, letting the switch join Rockwell and Siemens automation environments at its base tier.
IEEE 1588 PTPv2 in both Default and Power Profile, plus PTP over PRP, are Essentials features, so precision timing distribution never forces this PID into a license upgrade.
UN ECE R10 and E-Mark, the EN50155:2021 railway group with EN45545-2, IEC 60068-2-52/-2-60 corrosion testing, and a 13,800 ft ceiling apply to this GE model regardless of license tier.
Application Scenarios
Serving as a ring member across washdown lines and outdoor plant, where REP or MRP resilience, PROFINET or CIP traffic, and sixteen locking drops define the role and Layer 2 duty keeps the -E tier sufficient.
Specified across rail projects that need EN50155-approved 16-port nodes now and want the option of routed segmentation later through the in-place license upgrade rather than hardware swaps.
Aggregating camera and I/O clusters that lean on IGMP snooping, PTP timing, and DLR or HSR resilience – all base-tier functions – at mounting points too exposed for cabinet switches.

- The IE-3400H-16T-E and IE-3400H-16T-A differ only in the license shipped on identical hardware; ordering -E defers dynamic routing, VRF-lite, TrustSec, and MACsec-256, and the perpetual IE3400H-NW-A= upgrade recovers all of it in place if the design later demands more than Layer 2.
- IE-3400H-16FT-A trades Gigabit media for Fast Ethernet on D-coded connectors at a slightly lower draw, but as an FE SKU it forfeits the automotive and railway certification set, so it competes for sensor-class sites rather than vehicle or high-bandwidth roles.
- For deciding which SKU to order, start from the feature timeline: day-one routing or TrustSec points directly at IE-3400H-16T-A, a Layer 2 ring with uncertain future needs is exactly this upgradeable -E PID, and IE-3400H-16FT-A only enters when 100M endpoints and a non-vehicle site remove the reasons to pay for Gigabit.
Selection Guide
1. Start At Essentials When L2 Is The Job
Rings, VLANs, IGMP-driven camera clusters, PTP timing, and PROFINET or CIP integration all run at this tier; committing to -A up front only pays off when routing or TrustSec is already scheduled, not merely possible.
2. Signals That Justify Advantage
Plan the IE3400H-NW-A= purchase when VRF-based zone segmentation, OSPF/BGP adjacency to the plant core, SGT policy enforcement, or MACsec-256 on exposed uplinks enters the roadmap – the hardware stays on the wall through the change.
3. Gigabit Or Fast Ethernet Media
Keep this X-coded GE model where cameras, HMIs, and future bandwidth matter or where vehicle/rail approvals are mandatory; a fixed estate of 100M sensors on a static site can step to IE-3400H-16FT-A and its D-coded cabling instead.
4. Power And Cabling Are Tier-Neutral
Whatever the license, the single Mini-Change input needs a 9.6-60VDC source sized for 4.4A at 9.6V (PWR-IE160W-67-DC= where no site supply exists), sixteen X-coded cordsets, and CAB-CONSOLE-M12= for serial access.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|
|
License tier fit |
Confirm no day-one requirement for dynamic routing, VRF, TrustSec, or MACsec-256. |
Those features sit in the -A tier; ordering -E then upgrading immediately costs more than buying IE-3400H-16T-A once. |
|
Upgrade PID awareness |
Record IE3400H-NW-A= as the sanctioned upgrade path in the design file. |
Future feature requests then trigger a license order instead of an unnecessary hardware replacement. |
|
DC source and cordset |
Arrange a 9.6-60VDC feed rated for 4.4A plus the Molex Mini-Change cordset or PWR-IE160W-67-DC=. |
Nothing power-related ships in the box, and the Mini-Change input rejects generic field wiring. |
|
Single-feed acceptance |
Check the reliability case against one power input. |
The Heavy Duty housing provides no second redundant feed to fall back on. |
|
M12 cable plan |
Order sixteen X-coded 8-pin cordsets and CAB-CONSOLE-M12= with the switch. |
GE ports and the console port only accept their specific M12 codings. |
|
Certification match |
Verify the site or vehicle needs the GE-SKU approval set and tolerates no hazardous-location listing. |
Rail/automotive certificates vanish on FE models, and no IE3400H carries Class I Div 2 / Zone 2. |
