IEM-3300-8P Description
IEM-3300-8P is a Cisco Catalyst IE3300 expansion module that adds eight Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ copper ports to supported Cisco industrial Ethernet base switches. It fits the IE-3300-8P2S, IE-3300-8U2X, and IE-3400-8P2S platforms when a field cabinet needs additional powered RJ45 endpoints, with the expansion module bringing the system to 18 total ports while consuming 14W. Cisco documentation identifies it as a PoE/PoE+ copper module rather than a 90W PoE module, and the single-module, non-hot-swappable design makes it a targeted port-expansion option for rugged access deployments that need more standard Gigabit PoE/PoE+ device connections.

Application Scenarios
Use IEM-3300-8P when a compatible IE3300 or IE3400 PoE base switch needs eight additional 100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports that supply PoE or PoE+.
This module fits cabinet layouts where the single expansion position must be reserved for powered copper endpoints rather than the non-PoE copper block of IEM-3300-8T or the SFP fiber block of IEM-3300-8S.
Stage the order with the host power plan, because Cisco ties PoE capacity to the base-switch system and documents 360W or 480W system budget contexts with expansion modules.

- In an IEM-3300-8P vs IEM-3300-16P comparison, both are PoE/PoE+ copper expansion modules, but IEM-3300-16P raises the expansion count from 8 to 16 ports and the total system count from 18 to 26.
- The IEM-3300-8P difference from IEM-3300-8T is powered copper: the two modules share the eight-port count, while only IEM-3300-8P supplies PoE/PoE+ ports.
- For IEM-3300-8P vs IEM-3300-4MU, the comparison centers on power class and speed because IEM-3300-4MU is the four-port 1GE/2.5G 802.3bt type 4 option with 90-W PoE support.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should keep IEM-3300-8P on standard eight-port PoE/PoE+ copper expansion and move only when the table calls for 16 powered ports, data-only copper, or 4PPoE 2.5G copper.
Selection Guide
1. Choose it for eight PoE copper ports
Select IEM-3300-8P when the bill of materials needs eight additional 100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports with PoE/PoE+ on a supported PoE base switch.
2. Move to 16P for powered port density
Use IEM-3300-16P when the endpoint count requires 16 PoE/PoE+ expansion ports and the larger 26-port system total is part of the approved design.
3. Keep 8T separate for data-only copper
Choose IEM-3300-8T instead when the same eight-port expansion count is needed without PoE. Substituting IEM-3300-8T removes the powered-port function from the order.
4. Verify 4PPoE needs before substituting 4MU
Move to IEM-3300-4MU only when the design requires four 1GE/2.5G copper ports with 802.3bt type 4 power; IEM-3300-8P is not the 90-W PoE expansion module.
