Cisco IE 1000 IE-1000-4T1T-LM 4-Port Data Industrial Ethernet DIN-Rail Switch with 1x 100M RJ45
- Switch, Managed, 1 x 10/100 (uplink) + 4 x 10/100 (downlink), DIN rail mountable, DC power
Overview
The Cisco Industrial Ethernet (IE) 1000 Series is a line of compact, ruggedized DIN-rail switches aimed at Operational Technology users who need hardened connectivity without deep IT networking expertise, provisioned through zero-touch Plug and Play and configured entirely through a browser-based Web Device Manager. The IE-1000-4T1T-LM is the smallest member of the series, a five-port, data-only configuration pairing four Fast Ethernet downlinks with a single Fast Ethernet copper uplink for compact machine-level and edge cabinets. As a lightly managed Layer 2 switch it delivers VLAN segmentation, STP/RSTP/MSTP loop resilience, IGMP snooping, and EtherNet/IP (CIP) awareness rather than routing. Cisco positions the IE 1000 as a complement to its IE 2000, IE 3000, IE 4000, and IE 5000 managed switches, not a replacement for any of them.
Technical Details
The Cisco IE 1000 IE-1000-4T1T-LM is a Layer 2 web-managed compact DIN-rail industrial Ethernet switch with four 10/100 Fast Ethernet copper data ports and one 10/100 Fast Ethernet copper uplink, configured through the browser-based Cisco Web Device Manager. Switching bandwidth is 5.6 Gbps and forwarding bandwidth is 2.8 Gbps. It carries no Power over Ethernet, so all four downlink ports are data-only, and every port on the switch is Fast Ethernet copper. The operating temperature range is -20°C to +70°C in a vented enclosure, and it mounts on a standard DIN rail with IP30 ingress protection. It connects industrial and OT endpoints such as PLCs, HMIs, drives, and industrial sensors on factory-floor and transportation networks.
Best For
The IE-1000-4T1T-LM suits small machine cabinets, edge enclosures, and single-panel automation cells that connect a handful of non-powered OT devices such as PLCs, HMIs, drives, and industrial sensors and need one Fast Ethernet uplink back to an aggregation switch. Its wide operating-temperature range, IP30 rating, and DIN-rail mount fit unconditioned cabinets on factory floors and in roadside transportation systems, and the browser-based Web Device Manager lets OT staff configure it without IT networking expertise.
Not suitable if:
- you need to power devices such as ruggedized IP cameras, industrial wireless access points, or IP phones, since this is a data-only switch with no Power over Ethernet
- you need Gigabit or faster uplinks, since every port on this model is 10/100 Fast Ethernet
- you need fiber uplinks, since this model has a Fast Ethernet copper uplink and no SFP slots
- you need more than four access ports or more than one uplink, since this is the smallest model in the series
- you need routing or advanced Layer 3 segmentation, since this is a lightly managed Layer 2 switch that does not route

Part Number Decode
- IE-1000 — IE-1000 is the platform prefix, identifying the Cisco Industrial Ethernet 1000 Series of compact DIN-rail switches.
- 4T — 4T is the downlink specification: four 10/100 Fast Ethernet copper ports carrying data only, with no Power over Ethernet.
- 1T — 1T is the uplink specification: one 10/100 Fast Ethernet copper uplink port, not a Gigabit uplink.
- LM — LM marks the switch as Lightly Managed, a management-level designation for the browser-based Web Device Manager, not a software license tier.

FAQ
Does the Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM support PoE?
No. The Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM is a data-only switch, and all four 10/100 Fast Ethernet access ports carry no Power over Ethernet. It cannot power devices such as ruggedized IP cameras, industrial wireless access points, or IP phones. If you need to power devices over the network, the Cisco IE-1000-4P2S-LM delivers IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+ across four ports from a 120 W power budget, and the IE-1000-8P2S-LM offers eight PoE/PoE+ ports and a 180 W budget.
What uplink does the IE-1000-4T1T-LM use, and does it take SFP transceivers?
The Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM has one fixed 10/100 Fast Ethernet copper (RJ-45) uplink port, not a Gigabit uplink. It has no SFP slots, so it does not accept pluggable fiber transceivers; SFP fiber uplinks are only available on the Gigabit SFP-based IE-1000-4P2S-LM and IE-1000-8P2S-LM models. The single Fast Ethernet copper uplink connects the switch to an upstream aggregation or distribution switch over standard Category 5 or better twisted-pair cabling.
How is the Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM managed?
The Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM is a lightly managed, web-managed Layer 2 switch. It is configured through a browser-based Cisco Web Device Manager graphical interface with zero-touch Plug and Play discovery, so operational technology staff can set it up without command-line or deep IT networking knowledge. It supports Layer 2 features such as VLANs, STP/RSTP/MSTP, IGMP snooping, port security, SNMP, and EtherNet/IP (CIP) awareness. It does not run Cisco IOS or IOS XE and does not perform IP routing.
Can the IE-1000-4T1T-LM be stacked?
No. The Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM does not support switch stacking. There is no stacking module, stack cable, or stack bandwidth on the IE 1000 Series. Multiple switches are interconnected as independent Layer 2 devices over their Ethernet uplinks, and network resilience is provided through spanning-tree protocols (STP, RSTP, MSTP) and the switch's redundant voltage feeds rather than through a stack.
What are the environmental and reliability specifications of the IE-1000-4T1T-LM?
The Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM operates from -20°C to +70°C in a vented enclosure, -20°C to +60°C in a sealed enclosure, and -16°C to +75°C in a fan- or blower-equipped enclosure and is rated to IP30 for ingress protection. It mounts on a standard 35 mm DIN rail, accepts a 12-24V DC input, and supports redundant voltage feeds and alarm relays. Cisco rates its mean time between failure (MTBF) at 374,052 hours and covers the hardware with a five-year limited warranty. These characteristics suit unconditioned cabinets and enclosures on factory floors, in roadside transportation systems, and at outdoor surveillance sites.
What is the difference between the IE-1000-4T1T-LM and the IE-1000-6T2T-LM?
Both are data-only, Layer 2, web-managed IE 1000 switches with Fast Ethernet copper uplinks, no PoE, and the same 5.6 Gbps switching bandwidth and 2.8 Gbps forwarding bandwidth. The IE-1000-4T1T-LM is a five-port model with four Fast Ethernet downlinks and one Fast Ethernet copper uplink. The IE-1000-6T2T-LM is an eight-port model with six Fast Ethernet downlinks and two Fast Ethernet copper uplinks, adding two more access ports and a second uplink for dual-homed or ring topologies. Neither model has Gigabit or SFP uplinks.
Is the Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM end of life?
No. Cisco has not published an End-of-Sale or End-of-Life notice for the Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM or the Industrial Ethernet 1000 Series. Cisco maintains dedicated end-of-life notice listings for its other industrial switch families, such as the IE 2000 and IE 3000 Series, but no such hardware notice has been issued for the IE 1000 Series, so the IE-1000-4T1T-LM remains an actively available product.
What condition is the IE-1000-4T1T-LM sold in, and what warranty applies?
The Cisco IE-1000-4T1T-LM is sold new and factory-sealed. It is covered by a Network Devices Inc. one-year warranty and a 30-day return policy. The switch hardware also carries Cisco's five-year limited warranty.
