IE-3500-8T3X-E Description

The IE-3500-8T3X-E is a Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series modular industrial Ethernet switch for DIN-rail cabinets that aggregate copper field devices onto 10G fiber. The switch has eight Gigabit RJ45 copper ports and three 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, on a 12V to 48V DC input at 37W, with an operating range of -40 to +75°C in a forced-air enclosure. The Fast Ethernet SFPs that fit 1G uplink variants are not supported on the SFP+ slots, and the switch has no PoE.

Key Features

10G SFP+ Uplinks

All three uplinks accept 10G SFP+ optics and also 1G SFP parts. SFP+ optics such as SFP-10G-SR=, SFP-10G-LR= and SFP-10G-ER= are supported on this variant only, and non-industrial optics reduce the operating temperature range.

Input And Power Draw

The 12V to 48V nominal input is rated at 7A, with a power consumption of 37W and two DC terminals for separate feeds. Without PoE, the supply only has to cover the switch and any attached expansion module.

Copper Expansion To 27 Ports

Non-PoE IEM-3500 modules add 8 or 16 ports for a system of 19 or 27, with 6W to 16W drawn through the host input. PoE modules do not attach to a non-PoE base.

Application Scenarios

Plant Backbone Aggregation

In a manufacturing plant, the switch gathers copper links from line controllers in a cabinet and sends them to the plant core over 10G fiber. The uplinks keep several cells from competing for a gigabit trunk.

Hazardous-Area Process Skid

At an oil and gas site, the switch sits in an enclosure in a Class I Division 2 area, linking process controllers over copper and returning data on single-mode SFP+ optics to the control building.

Water Treatment Control Network

In a water treatment plant, the switch joins SCADA controllers and instruments in a pump-house cabinet and uplinks to the plant network over 10G fiber.

IE-3500-8T3X-E puts three 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks on eight non-PoE copper ports, while IE-3500-8T3S-E has three 100/1000 SFP uplinks and draws 29W against 37W, which is the right choice only when the uplinks stay at gigabit speed. Powered endpoints need IE-3500-8U3X-E, which keeps the SFP+ uplinks and adds PoE/PoE+/4PPoE with a 480W budget on a 12 to 54 VDC input. IE-3500-8T3X-E is Network Essentials; IE-3500-8T3X-A is the Network Advantage version of the same hardware, and an installed switch can be upgraded with IE3500-NW-A=. Its input is rated 12 to 48 VDC at 7.0A.

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 or 10G SFP+ modules from the supported lists, for example SFP-10G-LR= or SFP-10G-SR=. The 3 uplinks take SFP+ only on this 10GE variant, and 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.
