IE-3500-8T3S-E Description
IE-3500-8T3S-E is a Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series modular industrial Ethernet switch for DIN-rail industrial access cabinets that need Network Essentials, eight 10/100/1000 RJ45 copper ports, and three 100/1000 SFP uplinks in a non-PoE base switch. It is used where local industrial Ethernet endpoints need copper access with fiber handoff, while the 12 to 48 VDC input range, 29W power consumption, alarm interfaces, removable storage, and IE3500 expansion-module family support help define the installed switch boundary for rugged network deployments.

Product Performance
Key Features
Cisco lists IE-3500-8T3S-E as the Network Essentials orderable PID for the 8 GE copper and 3 GE SFP IE3500 modular hardware profile.
The 8T3S-E line is built around 3 fiber 100/1000 SFP uplinks, so it should not be swapped with the 8T3X-E line when a 10G SFP+ uplink class is required.
The hardware guide identifies IE-3500-8T3S-E as non-PoE, and the technical specifications list no PoE power budget for this model.
Cisco ordering information places this SKU in the IE3500 modular group, with separate IE3500 expansion modules and memory options listed for the same switch family.
The official technical specifications list a 12 to 48 VDC rating and 7.0A maximum current for IE-3500-8T3S-E, which controls the external power-supply review.
Cisco software documentation maps the IE-3500-8T3S hardware to no PoE and no data-path FPGA, separating this order line from PoE and advanced modular variants.
Application Scenarios
IE-3500-8T3S-E fits cabinet designs where local controllers, panels, or gateways need 8 Gigabit RJ45 copper links and upstream fiber is limited to 100/1000 SFP.
Choose this order line when the site standard calls for IE3500 Rugged Series modular hardware and the required Cisco network license tier is Network Essentials.
This SKU fits a BOM that must stay on GE SFP uplinks; select IE-3500-8T3X-E only when the documented 1G/10G SFP+ uplink class is required.

- In an IE-3500-8T3S-E vs IE-3500-8T3S-A comparison, the confirmed difference is license tier: IE-3500-8T3S-E is Network Essentials and IE-3500-8T3S-A is Network Advantage on the same 8T3S hardware profile.
- The IE-3500-8T3S-E vs IE-3400-8T2S-E difference is platform and uplink count: IE-3500-8T3S-E has 3 GE SFP uplinks, 24000 MAC addresses, and 1024 active VLANs; IE-3400-8T2S-E has 2 GE SFP uplinks, 16K MAC addresses, and 256 VLANs.
- The IE-3500-8T3S-E vs IE-3500-8P3S-E difference is endpoint power, because IE-3500-8T3S-E is non-PoE while IE-3500-8P3S-E provides PoE/PoE+ copper ports and a 360W maximum PoE budget.
- For IE-3500-8T3S-E vs IE-3500-8T3X-E comparison work, the key technical split is uplink class: IE-3500-8T3S-E uses 3 GE SFP uplinks and IE-3500-8T3X-E uses 3 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks. Buyers deciding which model to choose should lock the Network Essentials tier first, then verify IE3500 versus IE3400 platform scope, PoE copper demand, and 10G-capable SFP+ uplink demand.
Selection Guide
1. Keep the Essentials suffix for the required tier
Choose IE-3500-8T3S-E when the BOM calls for Network Essentials on the IE3500 8 GE copper and 3 GE SFP hardware profile.
2. Move to the A suffix for Network Advantage
Select IE-3500-8T3S-A only when the same 8T3S hardware must be ordered with the Cisco-listed Network Advantage license tier.
3. Use IE3400 only for the smaller uplink profile
Move to IE-3400-8T2S-E only when a Network Essentials IE3400 platform with 2 GE SFP uplinks, 16K MAC addresses, and 256 active VLANs is enough for the site design.
4. Route PoE or 10G needs to the right variant
Use IE-3500-8P3S-E for PoE/PoE+ copper endpoints or IE-3500-8T3X-E for 3 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks; both change the technical profile from IE-3500-8T3S-E.
Ordering Checklist
|
Checkpoint |
What to verify |
Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Port plan |
8 GE copper RJ45 ports and 3 GE SFP uplinks |
Avoids substituting a PoE copper model or a 10G-uplink model |
|
Endpoint power |
Non-PoE switch profile with no PoE budget listed |
Keeps powered endpoint requirements out of this SKU line |
|
DC input |
12 to 48 VDC rating and 7.0A maximum current |
Confirms the external power source before staging the switch |
|
SFP class |
3 fiber 100/1000 SFP uplinks on the 8T3S profile |
Prevents ordering SFP+ optics for a GE SFP uplink design |
|
IE3400 substitution |
IE-3400-8T2S-E has 2 GE SFP uplinks and lower listed switching scale |
Keeps a smaller-platform comparison from replacing the IE3500 requirement by mistake |
|
Expansion scope |
Cisco-listed IE3500 expansion modules only after host and module checks |
Reduces the risk of adding a PoE or unsupported expansion item to a non-PoE order |
