IEM-3000-8TM Description
IEM-3000-8TM is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3000 Series expansion copper module for Cisco IE-3000-4TC and IE-3000-8TC switches, used when an IE 3000 deployment needs additional Fast Ethernet copper ports without changing the base platform. Cisco documents it as an eight-port 10/100 TX module rather than a standalone switch, allows supported IE 3000 expansion-module combinations on the host switch, appears as Fast Ethernet2/1 through Fast Ethernet2/8 when connected directly to the base switch or Fast Ethernet3/1 through Fast Ethernet3/8 when attached behind another module, and requires the switch to be powered off during installation because the module is not hot-swappable.

Application Scenarios
IEM-3000-8TM fits control cabinets where an IE-3000-4TC or IE-3000-8TC base switch needs eight more Fast Ethernet copper ports for PLCs, HMIs, sensors, gateways, or similar Ethernet endpoints.
Select this module when the expansion requirement is copper 10/100BASE-T rather than the 100BASE-FX ports of IEM-3000-8FM or the 100BASE-X SFP ports of IEM-3000-8SM.
Use the shutdown window to attach or replace the module, because Cisco documents IE 3000 expansion modules as non-standalone and not hot-swappable.

- In an IEM-3000-8TM vs IEM-3000-8FM comparison, the confirmed difference is media type: IEM-3000-8TM adds eight 10/100BASE-T copper ports, while IEM-3000-8FM adds eight 100BASE-FX fiber ports.
- The IEM-3000-8TM vs IEM-3000-8SM difference is the expansion interface plan, because IEM-3000-8TM uses fixed copper TX ports and IEM-3000-8SM uses 100BASE-X SFP ports.
- For buyers deciding which model to choose, the IEM-3000-8TM comparison should start with the endpoint cabling requirement before checking power-down installation and module-position numbering.
Selection Guide
1. Match the copper port requirement first
Choose IEM-3000-8TM when the IE 3000 switch build needs eight additional 10/100BASE-T copper Ethernet ports.
2. Use a fiber or SFP module only when the media plan changes
Select IEM-3000-8FM for 100BASE-FX fiber ports or IEM-3000-8SM for 100BASE-X SFP ports instead of substituting those modules for a copper endpoint requirement.
3. Check the module count and installed position
Confirm whether the module connects directly to the base switch or behind another module, because Cisco assigns different Fast Ethernet interface numbering to module 2 and module 3.
4. Plan installation as a powered-down change
Schedule the installation or replacement window with switch power off, since Cisco documents IE 3000 expansion modules as not hot-swappable.
Ordering Checklist

Check item |
What to confirm |
Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact module identity |
IEM-3000-8TM page SKU and Cisco ordering PID IEM-3000-8TM= |
Separates the current copper module from fiber, SFP, and PoE expansion modules |
|
Base switch model |
Cisco IE-3000-4TC or Cisco IE-3000-8TC switch build |
Cisco lists the module for IE 3000 base switches rather than standalone use |
|
Port media |
Eight 10/100BASE-T copper Ethernet ports |
Prevents accidental substitution with 100BASE-FX or 100BASE-X expansion modules |
|
Module combination |
One or two IE 3000 expansion modules in supported combinations |
The final port mix changes with the base switch and second module |
|
Interface numbering |
Fast Ethernet2/1-2/8 when directly attached or Fast Ethernet3/1-3/8 when behind another module |
Staging and configuration need the correct module number |
|
Installation state |
Switch power off before adding or removing the module |
Cisco states the expansion modules are not hot-swappable |
|
Physical fit |
3.6 x 4.4 x 5.8 in. module size and 2.05 lb weight |
Cabinet spacing and spare handling should account for the installed expansion module |
