IE-3500-8T3X-E Description
IE-3500-8T3X-E is a Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series modular industrial Ethernet switch for DIN-rail access deployments that need non-PoE copper downlinks with higher-speed fiber uplinks. This Network Essentials model provides eight 10/100/1000 RJ45 downlink ports and three 10G/1G SFP+ uplink ports, runs on Cisco IOS XE, and is built for industrial edge cabinets where compact DC-powered switching is required. Cisco-documented hardware details for this SKU include dual DC power inputs, a 12 to 48 VDC input rating, 37W power consumption, no PoE budget for the base switch, and IE3500 expansion module support for deployments that need the access switch to align with industrial wiring, uplink, and cabinet constraints.

Key Features
Cisco identifies IE-3500-8T3X-E as the Network Essentials orderable PID for the IE3500 8-copper and 3-port 10G/1G uplink hardware profile.
The X position in the 8T3X hardware code maps to the SFP 10G port type, making this SKU the non-PoE IE3500 option for designs that have moved beyond GE-only uplinks.
Cisco technical specifications list no PoE budget for IE-3500-8T3X-E, so powered endpoint demand should be moved to a PoE model instead of being planned against this line.
The hardware installation guide lists 12 to 48 VDC input and 7.0A maximum current for IE-3500-8T3X-E, which should match the external industrial power design.
Cisco lists IE3500 expansion modules for the same switch family, but PoE expansion choices must stay aligned with a host that supports PoE.
The hardware guide describes IE3500 and IE3505 switches as DIN-rail industrial Ethernet platforms built on Cisco IOS XE Software for industrial environments.
Application Scenarios
IE-3500-8T3X-E fits a control cabinet that keeps eight local Gigabit RJ45 device drops while upgrading the uplink side to the documented 10G/1G SFP+ class.
Deployed where endpoint power is supplied outside the switch and the bill of materials should not include the PoE budget or higher voltage checks required by 8P3S or 8U3X models.
This order line suits IE3500 Rugged Series deployments that require Network Essentials and 10G-capable uplinks without moving to the Network Advantage A suffix.

- In an IE-3500-8T3X-E vs IE-3500-8T3X-A comparison, the confirmed difference is license tier: the E suffix is Network Essentials and the A suffix is Network Advantage on the same 8T3X hardware profile.
- The IE-3500-8T3X-E vs IE-3500-8T3S-E difference is uplink speed class, because IE-3500-8T3X-E uses 3 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks while IE-3500-8T3S-E uses 3 100/1000 SFP uplinks.
- For an IE-3500-8T3X-E vs IE-3500-8U3X-E comparison, both models keep the 3 10G/1G uplink class, but IE-3500-8U3X-E changes the copper ports to PoE/PoE+/4PPoE and adds a 480W PoE budget.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should lock the Network Essentials tier, then verify whether the order needs GE-only fiber, 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, or powered copper access.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for non-PoE 10G uplinks
Select IE-3500-8T3X-E when the cabinet design needs 8 Gigabit RJ45 copper ports and 3 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks without assigning PoE load to the switch.
2. Keep the E suffix for Essentials
Use IE-3500-8T3X-E only when the required network tier is Network Essentials; move to IE-3500-8T3X-A when the same hardware must be ordered with Network Advantage.
3. Move down to 8T3S only for GE fiber
Choose IE-3500-8T3S-E instead when the uplink design is limited to 3 100/1000 SFP ports and the extra 10G/1G uplink class is not part of the site standard.
4. Route powered endpoints to 8U3X
Select IE-3500-8U3X-E when the order requires 4PPoE copper ports and a 480W PoE budget; IE-3500-8T3X-E should remain a non-PoE switch line.
Ordering Checklist
|
Order gate |
Confirm before purchase |
Why this gate matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Fiber uplink requirement |
Three uplinks must be the 10G/1G SFP+ class |
Keeps a 10G aggregation design from being filled with the GE-only 8T3S switch |
|
Copper endpoint role |
Eight RJ45 ports are non-PoE access ports |
Prevents cameras or other powered endpoints from being assigned to an 8T3X non-PoE BOM |
|
External DC source |
12 to 48 VDC input with 7.0A maximum current |
Makes the power feed check separate from the higher-voltage PoE models |
|
Expansion choice |
Non-PoE IE3500 modules and host support reviewed together |
Avoids adding PoE expansion hardware where the base switch does not support a PoE load plan |
|
Enclosure allowance |
3.98 x 6.00 x 5.29 in. DIN-rail chassis before module width |
Confirms cabinet space for the wider 8T3X body before accessories are added |
