IE-4000-8GS4G-E Description
The IE-4000-8GS4G-E is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 4000 Series switch for rugged industrial access deployments that need fiber downlinks at the edge. This LAN Base model provides 8 Gigabit Ethernet SFP downlink ports and 4 Gigabit Ethernet combo uplinks in a 12-port IE 4000 form factor, uses redundant DC input with a nominal 9.6 to 60 VDC range, and is documented for DIN-rail industrial installation with 1 GB DRAM, 128 MB onboard flash, and a 1 GB removable SD card.

Product Performance
Key Features
IE-4000-8GS4G-E is the IE4000 PID for 8 GE SFP fiber downlinks, so it should not be substituted with the 8GT4G copper model when the bill of materials requires fiber access ports.
Cisco lists 4 GE combo uplink ports across IE4000 models, and the data sheet notes that a combo port has copper and fiber physical interfaces with only one active media path at a time.
The SKU ships with the LAN Base feature set, while Cisco separately lists software upgrade options for IP Services and MRP protocol roles.
The power table confirms nominal 9.6 to 60 VDC redundant DC input for the IE-4000-8GS4G-E group, with 5.0 A maximum input current and 42 W power consumption.
Cisco’s LAN Base feature table includes industrial Ethernet functions such as CIP EtherNet/IP, PROFINET v2, IEEE 1588 PTP v2, NTP to PTP translation, and MODBUS TCP/IP.
The hardware guide describes a latch for DIN-rail installation, and the data sheet lists the compact 6.12 x 6.12 x 5.09 in. chassis size for IE4000 models.
Application Scenarios
IE-4000-8GS4G-E fits control cabinets or field networks where the access layer needs 8 Gigabit SFP fiber links plus 4 GE combo uplinks instead of copper-only downlinks.
This order line fits projects that standardize on the IE4000 platform and require the default LAN Base software image rather than an IP Services order path.
The model suits industrial Ethernet rings or uplink designs that use the IE4000 4-port GE combo uplink block, provided each combo port media choice is planned as either copper or fiber.

- In an IE-4000-8GS4G-E vs IE-4000-8GT4G-E comparison, the confirmed difference is downlink media: IE-4000-8GS4G-E uses 8 GE SFP fiber downlinks, while IE-4000-8GT4G-E uses 8 GE copper downlinks.
- The IE-4000-8GS4G-E vs IE-4000-8S4G-E difference is downlink speed class: both use SFP fiber downlinks, but Cisco lists the 8GS model as 8 GE SFP and the 8S model as 8 FE SFP.
- For buyers deciding which model to choose, the IE-4000-8GS4G-E comparison should start with fiber versus copper downlink media and then confirm whether GE or FE fiber speed is required.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for 8 GE SFP access
Select IE-4000-8GS4G-E when the BOM requires an IE4000 industrial switch with 8 Gigabit SFP fiber downlink ports and 4 GE combo uplinks.
2. Use 8GT4G for copper downlinks
Move to IE-4000-8GT4G-E only when the same 12-port IE4000 layout should use 8 Gigabit RJ45 copper downlinks instead of SFP fiber downlinks.
3. Use 8S4G for Fast Ethernet SFP
Use IE-4000-8S4G-E when the design needs the IE4000 fiber SFP layout but the official downlink requirement is Fast Ethernet rather than Gigabit Ethernet.
4. Verify license and media before release
Confirm LAN Base, any IP Services or MRP license line, each SFP reach and fiber type, the active media for every combo uplink, and the redundant DC power source before final quote approval.
