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.

Key Features

Fast Ethernet And Gigabit SFP Uplinks

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.

Low-Draw DC Platform

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.

Non-PoE Expansion Modules

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

Machine Cell Aggregation

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.

Railway Wayside Cabinet

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.

Substation Control Room

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.

Questions & Answers

  • What is the SVI limit and jumbo frame size on IE-3500-8T3S-E?

    The SVI limit on IE-3500-8T3S-E is 32, and jumbo frames are accepted up to 9198 bytes. Set the interface MTU below that value, and keep the number of routed VLANs within that limit when the design uses inter-VLAN routing.
  • What are the dimensions and weight of IE-3500-8T3S-E?

    IE-3500-8T3S-E measures 3.48 x 6.00 x 5.29 in and weighs 3.90 lb (1.77 kg). The cabinet must have a DIN-rail position that deep free, with room for the cable bend radius.
  • What is the MTBF of IE-3500-8T3S-E?

    The MTBF of IE-3500-8T3S-E is 518,889 hours. Use that figure in availability calculations for a cabinet where the switch is a single point of failure, and plan a spare unit on site if the process cannot tolerate an outage.
  • How much memory and flash does IE-3500-8T3S-E have?

    IE-3500-8T3S-E has 8 GB of DRAM and 5.1 GB of flash. The flash holds the Cisco IOS XE image and configuration files, so keep spare room for a second image when you stage an upgrade.
