IE-3500-8U3X-E Description
IE-3500-8U3X-E is a Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series modular industrial Ethernet switch for DIN-rail industrial cabinets that need eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE, PoE+, or 4PPoE copper downlinks with three 1G/10G SFP+ fiber uplinks. The switch runs the Network Essentials license, provides an 11-port base configuration, supports up to 480 W of PoE budget, and uses dual DC power input with a 12 to 54 VDC nominal input rating. It fits industrial access designs where powered field devices, rugged cabinet mounting, and higher-speed fiber handoff must be combined in one Cisco IE3500 platform.

Key Features
Cisco identifies IE-3500-8U3X-E as the Network Essentials orderable line for the IE3500 8-port PoE/PoE+/4PPoE and 3-port 10G/1G SFP+ hardware profile.
The eight Gigabit copper ports support PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE, so this SKU belongs in orders where powered industrial endpoints cannot be assigned to a non-PoE 8T3X switch.
The 8U3X hardware code maps to 3 fiber uplinks in the 10G/1G SFP+ class, separating this model from GE-only 8P3S and 8T3S variants.
Cisco lists 480 W as both the base-switch and total PoE budget with expansion module for the 8U3X profile, so the endpoint worksheet must stay within that documented limit.
The hardware installation guide lists IE-3500-8U3X-E with 12 to 54 VDC input and 11.5A maximum current, and the PoE class table ties higher PoE classes to higher minimum input voltage.
Cisco documents IE3500 expansion modules for copper, fiber, PoE, and multigigabit PoE use, but PoE module selection still has to match a host system that supports PoE.
Application Scenarios
IE-3500-8U3X-E fits a DIN-rail cabinet where cameras, wireless bridges, sensors, or other powered devices need Gigabit copper access while upstream fiber must support the 10G/1G SFP+ class.
Fits IE3500 designs that already need 3x10G/1G uplinks and later add PoE/PoE+/4PPoE loads that the IE-3500-8T3X-E non-PoE model cannot cover.
This order line suits IE3500 Rugged Series sites that standardize on Network Essentials while keeping 4PPoE power planning, expansion modules, and SFP+ optics as separate BOM checks.

- In an IE-3500-8U3X-E vs IE-3500-8U3X-A comparison, the hardware profile stays on 8 GE 4PPoE ports and 3x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, while the suffix changes from Network Essentials to Network Advantage.
- The IE-3500-8U3X-E vs IE-3500-8T3X-E difference is endpoint power: both use 3x10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, but IE-3500-8U3X-E adds PoE/PoE+/4PPoE and a 480 W PoE budget.
- For IE-3500-8U3X-E vs IE-3500-8P3S-E comparison work, the confirmed split is both PoE class and uplink class: 8U3X uses 4PPoE plus 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks, while 8P3S uses PoE/PoE+ plus 100/1000 SFP uplinks.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should verify license tier, powered endpoint class, total PoE budget, and uplink speed before swapping among 8U3X, 8T3X, and 8P3S order lines.
Selection Guide
1. Select it when power and 10G fiber are both required
Choose IE-3500-8U3X-E when the site needs 8 Gigabit copper ports with PoE/PoE+/4PPoE support and 3 uplinks in the 10G/1G SFP+ class under Network Essentials.
2. Keep 8T3X out of powered endpoint plans
Move to IE-3500-8T3X-E only when the same 10G/1G uplink class is needed without a PoE budget; it is not the substitute for 4PPoE endpoint loads.
3. Use 8P3S only for GE SFP and lower PoE scope
Select IE-3500-8P3S-E when the design needs PoE/PoE+ copper access and 3 GE SFP uplinks, not the 4PPoE and 10G/1G SFP+ profile of IE-3500-8U3X-E.
4. Verify input voltage before assigning PoE classes
Confirm the 12 to 54 VDC feed, 11.5A rating, 480 W PoE budget, and minimum voltage needed for the planned PoE class before the powered-device count is finalized.

Prevents the order from changing to the Network Advantage A suffix or to the unsuffixed hardware label |
|
Powered endpoint class |
PoE, PoE+, or 4PPoE requirement for each copper port |
Stops a lower-power 8P3S or non-PoE 8T3X model from being substituted |
|
Uplink optics plan |
Three uplinks must be the 10G/1G SFP+ class |
Keeps the fiber BOM aligned with SFP+ instead of GE-only SFP uplinks |
|
Power-source capacity |
12 to 54 VDC, 11.5A, and 480 W PoE budget |
Ensures the supply and wiring plan can carry the planned endpoint load |
|

Prevents adding a PoE expansion module without confirming the host and power budget |
|
Cabinet clearance |
4.38 x 6.00 x 5.29 in. DIN-rail chassis before module width |
Confirms the wider 8U3X body has space in the enclosure |
|
Software tier |
Network Essentials unless the deployment requires IE-3500-8U3X-A or a separate upgrade |
Keeps the software entitlement aligned with the purchase requirement |
