IE-3200-8T2S-E vs IE-3200-8P2S-E
A key difference between Cisco IE-3200-8T2S-E and IE-3200-8P2S-E is PoE Support: IE-3200-8T2S-E — Not supported; IE-3200-8P2S-E — PoE/PoE+. They also differ in PoE Standard (Not applicable vs IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at) and Default PoE Budget (Not applicable vs 240 W). If the switch must power phones, cameras or access points, review the IE-3200-8P2S-E; the listed value for the IE-3200-8T2S-E does not provide that PoE capability. The table below shows 55 specifications available for both models. Confirm licenses, accessories, power supplies and regional suffixes before ordering.

How to choose between IE-3200-8T2S-E and IE-3200-8P2S-E
Review the differences in this order to identify the model that best fits the intended deployment.
-
01
Ports and uplinks
Match access media, port count and speed first, then confirm that the uplink design fits the distribution layer.
-
02
PoE and power
Total the power required by connected devices and verify the PoE standard, budget, power supplies and redundancy.
-
03
Performance and software
Compare forwarding, stacking and scale in the intended topology, then confirm the license tier and software release.
Before ordering
Confirm the exact Product ID, license tier, power supplies, accessories and regional requirements.
