Cisco Catalyst IE-3500-8T3X-E Switch
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3500-8T3X-E Switch is a rugged, scalable industrial Ethernet platform built for harsh OT edge environments. It features 8 Gigabit RJ45 downlinks and 3 high-speed 10G/1G SFP+ uplinks for flexible aggregation, delivering reliable line-rate performance in a compact, fanless IP30 DIN-rail form factor. Designed for extended temperature ranges (−40°C to +75°C) and vibration-prone sites, it runs Cisco IOS XE with the Network Essentials license for foundational Layer 2/Layer 3 capabilities and supports modular expansion via IEM modules (up to 27 ports) while integrating with Cisco Catalyst Center for streamlined operations.
Key Features:
- 8 × Gigabit Ethernet Downlinks (Non-PoE): Cost-efficient data connectivity for industrial endpoints where external power is available.
- 3 × 10G/1G SFP+ Uplinks: High-speed fiber uplinks for resilient backbone and aggregation connectivity.
- Ruggedized, Fanless Design (IP30, −40°C to +75°C): Reliable operation in harsh industrial conditions with DIN-rail mounting.
- Layer 2 & Layer 3 with Network Essentials: Foundational routing/segmentation features for OT/IT convergence (license-dependent).
- Easy Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center).
