Cisco Catalyst IE-3500-8P3S-A Switch
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3500-8P3S-A Switch is a rugged, scalable industrial Ethernet platform built for OT edge and harsh environments. With 8 Gigabit PoE/PoE+ downlinks and 3 fixed 1G/100M SFP uplinks, it delivers reliable line-rate performance in a compact, fanless IP30 DIN-rail form factor. A base 240 W PoE budget—expandable to 360 W—powers cameras, sensors, and access points. Running Cisco IOS XE with the Network Advantage license, it supports advanced Layer 2/Layer 3 capabilities and integrates with Cisco Catalyst Center for streamlined operations.
Key Features:
- 8 × Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Ports: Power and data for industrial endpoints, 240 W base PoE (expandable to 360 W with an optional module).
- 3 × 1G/100M SFP Uplinks: Flexible fiber uplinks for reliable aggregation/backbone connectivity.
- Ruggedized, Fanless Design (IP30): DIN-rail mounting for reliable operation in space-constrained, harsh sites.
- Layer 2 & Layer 3 with Network Advantage: Advanced routing/segmentation features suited for OT/IT convergence (license-dependent).
- Easy Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center).
