IE-9310-16P8S4X-E Description
IE-9310-16P8S4X-E is a Cisco Catalyst IE9300 Rugged Series industrial Ethernet switch with Network Essentials, 16 Gigabit PoE+ copper downlink ports, 8 Gigabit SFP downlink ports, and 4 1G/10G SFP+ uplinks for rack-mounted industrial access networks.
The main order difference from IE-9310-16P8S4X-A is the software tier: the current SKU ships with Network Essentials, while the -A model uses Network Advantage on the same mixed-port hardware. It also differs from IE-9320-16P8U4X-E because the IE9320 model is stackable and replaces the 8 SFP downlinks with 8 2.5G 4PPoE copper downlinks.
Before purchase release, confirm the Network Essentials requirement, IOS XE 17.18.1 or later software plan, power-supply mix for the required PoE budget, SFP and SFP+ optics, rack-mount kit, and whether a Network Advantage upgrade or Catalyst Center subscription belongs in the same bill of materials.

Product Performance
Key Features
IE-9310-16P8S4X-E is the Network Essentials ordering SKU for the IE9310 mixed-port PoE hardware, so it should not be substituted with the -A suffix unless Network Advantage is required.
The 16 copper downlinks support up to 30 W PoE output per port, which makes the power-supply selection part of the endpoint-count review rather than a generic accessory choice.
The 8 GE SFP downlinks support fiber-facing access connections, while the 4 SFP+ uplinks give the order a 1G or 10G uplink path that must be matched with Cisco-supported optics.
Cisco documents PoE budget steps from 50 W to 480 W for this model, so the quote should match the attached device load to the exact 150 W, 250 W, or 400 W power supply combination.
The IE-9310-16P8S4X-E row is not stackable and does not include GNSS or IRIG-B, separating it from IE9320 variants that add stacking or timing features.
Cisco marks IE-9310-16P8S4X-E and IE-9310-16P8S4X-A support from IOS XE 17.18.1 onward, which should be checked before staging software images or configuration templates.
Application Scenarios
Use IE-9310-16P8S4X-E when a rack-mounted industrial network needs PoE+ copper endpoints on the same switch as GE SFP downlinks and 10G-capable uplinks.
Select this SKU for projects that standardize on the IE9310 mixed-port hardware but want Network Essentials as the default license instead of ordering the Network Advantage -A variant.
This model fits refresh projects where the endpoint count can be served by 16 PoE+ copper ports, but the power supply pair must be selected according to the documented PoE budget table.

- In an IE-9310-16P8S4X-E vs IE-9310-16P8S4X-A comparison, the hardware layout matches, but IE-9310-16P8S4X-E is the Network Essentials SKU and IE-9310-16P8S4X-A is the Network Advantage SKU.
- The IE-9310-16P8S4X-E vs IE-9320-16P8U4X-E difference is port and platform scope: the current SKU has 8 GE SFP downlinks and no stacking, while the IE9320 alternative has 8 2.5G 4PPoE copper downlinks and stacking support.
- For IE-9310-16P8S4X-E vs IE-9310-26S2C-E, the current model is the PoE mixed-port choice, while IE-9310-26S2C-E is the GE SFP fiber model with no PoE budget listed.
- Which model to choose depends first on Network Essentials versus Network Advantage, then on whether the BOM needs PoE copper ports, SFP fiber downlinks, stacking, or a fiber-only IE9310 layout.
Selection Guide
1. Choose this SKU for Essentials mixed-port PoE
Select IE-9310-16P8S4X-E when the bill of materials requires 16 GE PoE+ copper ports, 8 GE SFP downlinks, 4 SFP+ uplinks, and Network Essentials.
2. Move to the -A variant for Network Advantage
Use IE-9310-16P8S4X-A when the same port layout must ship with Network Advantage instead of adding an upgrade license after the switch order.
3. Compare IE9320 only when stacking or 2.5G 4PPoE matters
Review IE-9320-16P8U4X-E if the design needs stacking support or 8 2.5G 4PPoE copper downlinks; otherwise the current IE9310 model keeps the SFP downlink layout.
4. Confirm the power and optic plan before quoting
Match the PoE endpoint load to the selected power supplies, then verify GE SFP downlink modules, 10G SFP+ uplink modules, rack-mount kit, and software release support.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning item |
Cisco-confirmed value |
Procurement check |
|---|---|---|
|
PoE-capable ports |
16 copper GE downlinks with up to 30 W PoE output per port |
Confirm powered endpoints are assigned to the copper ports and not to SFP downlinks |
|
Maximum system PoE budget |
480 W with dual 400 W power supplies |
Use this only when the order includes the required 400 W PSU pair |
|
Lower PoE budget options |
50 W, 150 W, 170 W, 260 W, 300 W, or 350 W depending on installed PSU mix |
Size the powered-device list against the exact PSU combination rather than the chassis alone |
|
Software support |
IE-9310-16P8S4X-E PoE support starts with IOS XE 17.18.1 |
Check the software image before staging PoE configuration |
|
PoE management behavior |
Auto mode detects powered devices; policing and load shedding are documented PoE controls |
Decide port priority and power policing before field activation |
