Cisco Catalyst IEM-3500-8S Expansion Module
The Cisco Catalyst IEM-3500-8S Expansion Module adds high-density fiber connectivity to IE3500 base switches for industrial and harsh environments. Providing 8 × 1G/100M SFP ports, it delivers reliable line-rate performance in a rugged, fanless IP30 DIN-rail form factor. The module is powered by the host switch (9 W module consumption) and inherits IOS XE features, licensing, and management for seamless integration—ideal for extending fiber access/aggregation where copper is impractical.
Key Features:
- 8 × 1G/100M SFP Ports: Flexible fiber connectivity for resilient aggregation/backbone links.
- Ruggedized, Fanless Design (IP30): Built for space-constrained industrial sites with DIN-rail mounting.
- Inherits IOS XE Features & Licensing: Operates as part of the IE3500 system for consistent L2/L3 capabilities.
- Easy Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center).
- Scalable Architecture: Helps expand total system ports up to 19 with compatible IE3500 bases.
