IE-3500-8T3S-E Description
The IE-3500-8T3S-E is a Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series modular industrial Ethernet switch for DIN-rail cabinets that connect copper field devices to a fiber backbone. The switch has eight Gigabit RJ45 copper ports and three 1G/100M SFP uplinks, on a 12V to 48V DC input at 29W, with an operating range of -40 to +75°C in a forced-air enclosure. The switch carries no PoE and has no built-in power supply.

Product Performance
Key Features
The three SFP slots run at 1G or 100M, so the switch can reach older fiber runs as well as gigabit ones. Industrial-grade FE parts such as GLC-FE-100FX-RGD= (2 km multimode) and GLC-FE-100LX-RGD= (10 km single-mode) are supported.
Power consumption is 29W on a 12V to 48V nominal input at 7A, with two DC terminals for separate feeds. That keeps the load on a small DIN-rail supply modest.
Modules such as IEM-3500-8T=, IEM-3500-8S= and IEM-3500-16T= extend the switch to 19 or 27 ports. PoE expansion modules do not attach to a non-PoE base.
Application Scenarios
Inside a machine-cell cabinet, the switch connects PLCs, drives and HMIs over its copper ports and sends the cell’s traffic to the line network on a fiber uplink. The DIN-rail body mounts beside the controllers.
Along a railway, the switch links signaling and track-side equipment in a wayside cabinet over shielded copper and returns the traffic on industrial-grade SFP fiber. The -40 to +75°C range suits unheated enclosures.
In a vented substation enclosure, the switch ties protection relays and meters to the station network over copper, with one SFP uplink toward the next switch in a ring.

IE-3500-8T3S-E has three 100/1000 SFP uplinks and eight non-PoE copper ports, while IE-3500-8P3S-E keeps the same 11-port layout but supplies PoE/PoE+ with a 360W maximum budget, so powered cameras and access points need that model. Sites that want 10G on the uplinks order IE-3500-8T3X-E, which has three 10G/1G SFP+ ports. IE-3500-8T3S-E is Network Essentials; IE-3500-8T3S-A is the Network Advantage version of the same hardware, and an installed switch can move up with IE3500-NW-A=. IE-3400-8T2S-E is the smaller option, with two SFP uplinks, 16K MAC addresses and 256 active VLANs against 24000 and 1024 here.
Ordering Checklist
- Power supply: No supply is included; for this non-PoE switch order a DIN rail unit such as PWR-IE50W-AC=, PWR-IE50W-AC-IEC= or PWR-IE50W-AC-L=. Without one the cabinet has no power source.
- Expansion module: Add an IEM-3500 module such as IEM-3500-8T=, IEM-3500-8S=, IEM-3500-16T=, IEM-3500-6T2S= or IEM-3500-14T2S=, or none. Modules are separate orderable items, and their power draw is counted against the host.
- SD card: Add SD-IE-16GB= if configuration backup or switch replacement from card is wanted. The card is optional and not fitted by default.
- Software tier: Network Essentials ships as ordered; IE3500-NW-A= (perpetual) upgrades to Network Advantage later, and IE3500-DNA-E or IE3500-DNA-A adds a Catalyst Center subscription. DNA Advantage works only with the Network Advantage license, so the tiers must match.
- Uplink optics: Select GE SFP modules, with industrial-grade parts such as GLC-FE-100FX-RGD= or GLC-FE-100LX-RGD= for 100M links. Commercial or non-industrial SFPs force a lower operating temperature.
- Mounting: Choose DIN rail mounting; STK-RACK-DINRAIL= is the 19-inch DIN rail mount kit. The rack mount kit is a separate item.
