IEM-3400-8T Description
IEM-3400-8T is a Cisco Catalyst IE3400 Rugged Series advanced expansion module for adding eight Gigabit Ethernet copper ports to supported IE3400 industrial switch base systems. It is used when an IE-3400-8T2S or IE-3400-8P2S base switch needs additional non-PoE copper connectivity at the industrial edge, with Cisco documentation identifying the module as an 8-port GE copper expansion module, non-PoE, with advanced hardware features, one expansion-module position per base system, 12 W module power consumption, and an 18-port total system profile when attached to the compatible base switch.

Application Scenarios
IEM-3400-8T fits DIN-rail IE3400 sites where the base switch already matches the design and the added eight ports need to remain RJ-45 copper data interfaces.
Select the 8T module when the BOM needs copper connectivity without endpoint power. IEM-3400-8P is the related copper PoE/PoE+ option, and IEM-3400-8S moves the added ports to SFP media.
The module line should be staged for a planned shutdown because Cisco documents one expansion module per base system and states that expansion modules are not hot-swappable.

- In an IEM-3400-8T vs IEM-3400-8S comparison, both are IE3400 eight-port expansion modules, but the table difference is media: IEM-3400-8T adds copper ports and IEM-3400-8S adds SFP ports.
- The IEM-3400-8T vs IEM-3400-8P difference is PoE/PoE+ support and base-switch scope; IEM-3400-8T is non-PoE copper for IE-3400-8T2S or IE-3400-8P2S, while IEM-3400-8P is PoE copper for IE-3400-8P2S.
- For an IEM-3400-8T vs IEM-3300-8T comparison, both provide eight copper Gigabit ports, but Cisco marks advanced hardware features as Yes on the IE3400 module and No on the IE3300 module.
- Buyers deciding which model to choose should compare the base switch, media type, PoE requirement, and advanced-hardware row before adding the expansion module to the order.
Selection Guide
1. Choose IEM-3400-8T for non-PoE copper expansion
Match this SKU to an IE3400 BOM that needs eight added Gigabit Ethernet copper ports without PoE or PoE+ endpoint power.
2. Move to IEM-3400-8S for fiber media
Select IEM-3400-8S instead when the expansion slot must provide SFP interfaces rather than copper RJ-45 connections.
3. Keep IEM-3400-8P for powered copper endpoints
Order IEM-3400-8P only when the IE-3400-8P2S base switch and the endpoint plan require PoE/PoE+ copper expansion.
4. Verify the service-window constraint
Confirm the single-module limit and powered-down installation plan before the module is staged for a cabinet refresh or spare replacement.
