IEM-3300-8S Description
IEM-3300-8S is a Cisco Catalyst IE3300 Rugged Series SFP expansion module for adding fiber Gigabit Ethernet ports to compatible Cisco IE3300 and IE3400 modular industrial switch base systems. The module provides 8 100/1000Mbps SFP ports, supports an 18-port system configuration when installed with the base switch, and is identified by Cisco ordering PID IEM-3300-8S=. Cisco documentation lists 19W module power consumption, DIN-rail installation, no PoE or PoE+ ports on this SFP module, and a one-expansion-module limit, so it fits industrial edge deployments that need fiber access or uplink expansion without changing the base switch platform.

Application Scenarios
An IE3300 cabinet that already has the required base switch ports can add IEM-3300-8S when the expansion side needs eight SFP fiber links instead of RJ45 copper.
IEM-3300-8S fits bills of material where every expansion port is planned for SFP transceivers. IEM-3300-8T or IEM-3300-6T2S should stay separate when the endpoint map includes copper-only devices.
Cisco also lists IE3300 expansion modules with IE3400 base switches, so this module can appear in mixed IE3300 and IE3400 refresh planning when the host model is one of the Cisco-confirmed modular bases.

- In an IEM-3300-8S vs IEM-3300-8T comparison, the module count and total system-port count stay aligned at 8 expansion ports and 18 system ports, while the confirmed difference is SFP fiber versus copper RJ45 media.
- The IEM-3300-8S difference from IEM-3300-6T2S is the fiber allocation: IEM-3300-8S gives all eight expansion ports to SFP, while IEM-3300-6T2S keeps only two SFP ports and assigns six ports to copper.
- For IEM-3300-8S vs IEM-3300-14T2S, the comparison changes both density and width class because IEM-3300-14T2S is a 16-port mixed-media module with 26 total system ports.
- The which model to choose check should keep IEM-3300-8S on fiber-heavy expansion plans and move to the mixed or copper modules only when the endpoint media map requires RJ45 ports.
Selection Guide
1. Select the all-SFP expansion path
Choose IEM-3300-8S when the approved IE3300 or IE3400 modular base switch needs eight 100/1000Mbps SFP expansion ports.
2. Shift copper endpoints to 8T
Move to IEM-3300-8T when the same eight-port expansion count is needed but the field wiring terminates on 100/1000Mbps copper RJ45 ports.
3. Keep mixed media on 6T2S or 14T2S
Use IEM-3300-6T2S for a small mixed module with two SFP ports, or IEM-3300-14T2S when the plan needs a 16-port expansion module with 14 copper ports and 2 SFP ports.
4. Verify the host and optic plan
Confirm the base switch model and selected SFP transceivers before finalizing the order because Cisco treats expansion-module compatibility and SFP support as separate checks.
Ordering Checklist
|
Check Item |
What to Confirm |
Procurement Risk Controlled |
|---|---|---|
|
Exact module PID |
IEM-3300-8S in the site SKU and IEM-3300-8S= in Cisco ordering notation |
Keeps the SKU aligned with Cisco’s trailing-equals spare or ordering format |
|
Host base switch |
Cisco-listed IE3300 or IE3400 modular base system |
Prevents attaching the expansion module to an unsupported industrial switch base |
|
Expansion count |
Only one expansion module is planned with the host switch |
Avoids a chassis plan that exceeds the Cisco-listed expansion limit |
|
Fiber port requirement |
Eight 100/1000Mbps SFP expansion ports are required |
Blocks substitution with copper or mixed-media IE3300 modules |
|
SFP and fiber plan |
The selected SFP transceivers and cabling are approved for the host environment |
Keeps the order from treating the module as if optics were included |
|
Installation state |
The expansion module is attached while the switch is not energized |
Reduces handling risk during field installation or replacement |
