IEM-3400-8P Description
IEM-3400-8P is a Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series expansion module for the IE-3400-8P2S platform, built to add eight Gigabit Ethernet copper PoE/PoE+ ports in industrial edge deployments that need more powered endpoint capacity without replacing the base switch. Cisco confirms that this module is specific to the IE-3400-8P2S, supports the advanced hardware feature set available with IEM3400 modules, does not support 90W PoE, and draws 20 W at 54 V excluding powered-device load, while the base-plus-module system expands to 18 total ports.

Application Scenarios
IEM-3400-8P fits IE-3400-8P2S deployments that need eight more powered Gigabit copper ports for industrial devices that draw PoE or PoE+ from the switch system.
Use the current module when the added ports must supply PoE/PoE+; IEM-3400-8T keeps the eight-port copper expansion role but does not provide the PoE function shown for IEM-3400-8P.
Plan the module addition or replacement during a powered-down maintenance window, because Cisco states that expansion modules are not hot-swappable and should not be attached while the switch is energized.

- In an IEM-3400-8P vs IEM-3400-8T comparison, the main difference is PoE/PoE+ support: IEM-3400-8P adds powered GE copper ports, while IEM-3400-8T is the non-PoE copper expansion choice.
- The IEM-3400-8P vs IEM-3400-8S difference is the expansion media plan, because IEM-3400-8P uses copper PoE/PoE+ ports and IEM-3400-8S uses GE SFP ports.
- For an IEM-3400-8P vs IEM-3300-8P comparison, both are 8-port PoE expansion modules, but Cisco marks advanced hardware features as Yes for IEM-3400-8P and No for IEM-3300-8P.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should first lock the base switch and endpoint media, then use the PoE/PoE+ and advanced-hardware rows to separate the closest expansion-module SKUs.
Selection Guide
1. Match the base switch first
Choose IEM-3400-8P only when the BOM uses a Cisco IE-3400-8P2S base switch that supports the PoE expansion module.
2. Keep IEM-3400-8P for powered copper ports
Select this SKU when the extra eight Gigabit copper endpoints require PoE or PoE+ power rather than data-only copper ports.
3. Use IEM-3400-8S for SFP expansion
Move to IEM-3400-8S when the expansion requirement is Gigabit SFP connectivity instead of RJ-45 copper PoE/PoE+ endpoint ports.
4. Check power and installation timing
Verify the PoE input-voltage plan, total PoE budget, and maintenance window before the module is added, since Cisco documents power requirements and non-hot-swap installation limits.
PoE Power Planning
|
Planning item |
Cisco-confirmed fact |
Buyer check |
|---|---|---|
|
PoE input voltage |
PoE requires 48 VDC and PoE+ requires 54 VDC on the switch system |
Match the field power supply plan to the endpoint class |
|
IE-3400-8P2S PoE budget |
Cisco lists 240 W without the expansion module and 480 W with the expansion module |
Confirm the full endpoint load before releasing the quote |
|
Expansion module draw |
IEM-3400-8P module power is 20 W at 54 V, excluding powered-device load |
Do not count the module electronics draw as endpoint PoE budget |
|
90-W PoE boundary |
Cisco marks 90-W PoE support as No for IEM-3400-8P |
Do not use this SKU for endpoints that require 90-W PoE |

Took a chance, glad I did. Layer23 is the real deal.
Our entire team has bought into Layer23 as a primary source.
Ordered again for our backup location. Same quality as the first. Took a little longer to clear customs than expected, otherwise excellent.
