Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000U IE-2000U-4T-G 4-Port Data DIN-Rail Switch with 2x 1G RJ45, LAN Base

No. The Cisco IE-2000U-4T-G is a data-only switch and none of its ports provide Power over Ethernet. It cannot power devices such as ruggedized IP cameras, industrial wireless access points, or IP phones. If you need PoE or PoE+ on the Fast Ethernet downlinks, the IE-2000U-16TC-GP is the PoE-capable model in the IE 2000U line, delivering IEEE 802.3af PoE and 802.3at PoE+ on up to four of its Fast Ethernet downlink ports from a separate external DC power source.

No. The Cisco IE-2000U-4T-G is an all-copper switch: its four 10/100 Fast Ethernet downlink ports and two Gigabit Ethernet uplink ports are all fixed RJ45, with no SFP slots and no support for pluggable fiber optics. If you need fiber SFP downlinks, the IE-2000U-4S-G provides four Fast Ethernet SFP downlinks with two Gigabit SFP uplinks; the IE-2000U-4TS-G keeps copper downlinks but adds two Gigabit SFP uplinks. Where a model does support SFPs, transceivers are sold separately and should be verified against the manufacturer's transceiver compatibility matrix at tmgmatrix.cisco.com.

No. The Cisco IE-2000U-4T-G does not support switch stacking. High availability on the IE 2000U comes from ring and hub-and-spoke resiliency protocols rather than stacking: it supports Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP) and FlexLink for fast reconvergence, along with Rapid Spanning Tree. Redundant wide-range DC power inputs add hardware resiliency. It cannot be combined into a single logical stack with other IE 2000U switches or any other Cisco series.

The IE-2000U-4T-G and IE-2000U-4TS-G are both six-port, LAN Base, data-only IE 2000U switches with four 10/100 Fast Ethernet copper downlinks and neither IEEE 1588 nor PRP. They differ in uplink media: the 4T-G provides two Gigabit Ethernet copper RJ45 uplinks, while the 4TS-G provides two Gigabit Ethernet SFP fiber uplinks. Choose the 4T-G when short copper uplinks are sufficient, and the 4TS-G when uplinks run over fiber to the aggregation layer.

The Cisco IE-2000U-4T-G ships with the LAN Base Cisco IOS image, which provides Layer 2 switching, security such as 802.1x, DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection, IP source guard and port security, QoS, and resiliency features such as REP, FlexLink, and xSTP. It has no IPv4 or IPv6 routing at LAN Base. Layer 3 routing is added with the field-upgradable IP Services license (PID SIEUISK9T-15002EK=), which enables static and inter-VLAN routing, RIP v1/2, EIGRP, OSPF, IS-IS, BGPv4, HSRP, policy-based routing, Multi-VRF CE (VRF-lite), PIM sparse and dense mode multicast, and IPv6 routing.

No. The Cisco IE-2000U-4T-G does not require any term subscription; it runs on its perpetual LAN Base Cisco IOS image indefinitely. Layer 3 routing is unlocked by an optional one-time IP Services software upgrade license (PID SIEUISK9T-15002EK=), which is a perpetual, field-upgradable license rather than a recurring subscription. There is no cloud entitlement or subscription term that can expire and disable base switching. Once IP Services is installed, its routing features remain enabled permanently.

The Cisco IE-2000U-4T-G is a hardened, fanless switch for industrial and utility environments. Its operating temperature range is -40°C to +70°C in a vented enclosure, -40°C to +60°C in a sealed enclosure, and -34°C to +75°C in a fan- or blower-equipped enclosure. It mounts on a DIN rail, is rated IP30 for ingress protection, and is convection cooled with no fans or moving parts. It accepts a redundant wide-range 12-48 VDC power input (9.6-60 VDC maximum) and provides dual alarm inputs and a relay output. It also meets IEC 61850-3 and IEEE 1613 substation standards.

Yes. Cisco has announced end-of-sale for the Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000U Series. The last day to order the IE-2000U-4T-G through Cisco was July 26, 2024, and Cisco's last date of support is July 31, 2029. Cisco positions the Catalyst IE3300 and the broader Catalyst IE3x00 rugged series as the migration path for IE 2000U deployments. Units remain fully supportable until the end-of-support date, and Network Devices Inc. continues to supply new, factory-sealed IE-2000U-4T-G switches while inventory is available.

The Cisco IE-2000U-4T-G is sold new and factory-sealed. It is covered by a Network Devices Inc. one-year warranty and a 30-day return policy. Each unit includes the required industrial-grade SD flash card as shipped by Cisco.
