IE-3500-8P3S-E Description

IE-3500-8P3S-E is a Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series modular industrial Ethernet switch for DIN-rail industrial access deployments that need Network Essentials software, local PoE device connectivity, and fiber uplinks from a compact DC-powered platform. The switch provides eight 10/100/1000 PoE/PoE+ copper ports and three 100/1000 SFP ports, with a 240 W PoE power budget that can reach 360 W when used with an expansion module. Cisco hardware specifications list dual DC power input, a 12 to 54 VDC nominal input rating, 11.0A maximum input current, and 32 W base power consumption excluding the powered-device load, making this SKU a fit for field cabinets, transportation, utility, and industrial edge sites where powered endpoints and GE fiber aggregation need to stay in the same rugged access switch.

Key Features

Network Essentials PoE order line

Cisco identifies IE-3500-8P3S-E as the Network Essentials PID for the IE3500 modular 8-port PoE/PoE+ copper and 3-port GE SFP hardware profile.

Powered copper access profile

The eight 10/100/1000 copper ports support PoE/PoE+, making this SKU a different purchase from non-PoE IE3500 8T3S models even though the GE SFP uplink count is the same.

GE SFP uplink boundary

The uplink side is documented as 3 fiber 100/1000 SFP ports, so buyers needing 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks should not substitute this SKU for an 8T3X or 8U3X order.

12 to 54 VDC power input

Cisco lists IE-3500-8P3S-E with 12 to 54 VDC input and 11.0A maximum current, which must match the industrial DC power design before PoE load is assigned.

Expansion-aware PoE planning

The 240 W base-switch PoE value and 360 W maximum with expansion module keep the endpoint worksheet tied to the full IE3500 modular system instead of the base unit alone.

IE3500 modular accessory path

Cisco lists IE3500 expansion modules, memory, mounting, power-supply, and Network Advantage upgrade options that should be reviewed as separate order lines when the deployment needs them.

Application Scenarios

Powered OT access cabinet

IE-3500-8P3S-E fits DIN-rail industrial cabinets where cameras, sensors, panels, or access points need Gigabit PoE/PoE+ copper connections and upstream fiber stays on GE SFP.

Non-PoE IE3500 replacement with endpoint power

Use this order line when an IE3500 design similar to 8T3S needs powered copper endpoints without changing to the 10G SFP+ uplink class.

Modular expansion with an Essentials tier

This SKU suits IE3500 projects that need Network Essentials by default while leaving expansion modules, GE SFP optics, and any Network Advantage upgrade as separate BOM checks.

  • In an IE-3500-8P3S-E vs IE-3500-8P3S-A comparison, the hardware profile matches and the confirmed difference is Network Essentials versus Network Advantage.
  • In an IE-3500-8P3S-E vs IE-3400-8P2S-E comparison, both platforms provide 8 PoE/PoE+ copper ports and Network Essentials, but IE-3500-8P3S-E adds a third GE SFP uplink.
  • The IE-3500-8P3S-E difference from IE-3400-8P2S-E is also switching scale and PoE headroom: Cisco lists 24000 MAC addresses, 1024 active VLANs, and 360 W maximum PoE budget for IE3500, while the IE3400 counterpart is listed with 16K MAC addresses, 256 VLANs, and 480 W with expansion module.
  • Buyers deciding which model to choose should compare uplink count, IE3500 versus IE3400 switching scale, Network Essentials scope, and total PoE budget before replacing one series with the other.

Selection Guide

1. Select this PID for Essentials-tier PoE access

Choose IE-3500-8P3S-E when the BOM requires Network Essentials with 8 Gigabit PoE/PoE+ copper ports and 3 GE SFP uplinks on the IE3500 modular platform.

2. Move the suffix only for Network Advantage

Use IE-3500-8P3S-A when the same 8P3S hardware must be ordered with Network Advantage instead of Network Essentials.

3. Route non-PoE and higher-power needs to separate SKUs

Move to IE-3500-8T3S-E when powered copper ports are not required, or select IE-3500-8U3X-E when the order needs 4PPoE and 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks.

4. Verify the power budget before adding endpoints

Confirm the 12 to 54 VDC feed, PoE or PoE+ class, 240 W base-switch budget, 360 W maximum system budget, and external power-supply capacity before finalizing powered-device counts.
