Cisco Catalyst IE-3500-8P3S-E Switch
The Cisco Catalyst IE-3500-8P3S-E Switch is a rugged, scalable industrial Ethernet solution built for OT edge deployments and harsh environments. Featuring 8 Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ downlinks and 3 fixed 1G/100M SFP uplinks, it delivers reliable line-rate performance in a fanless IP30, DIN-rail form factor. A base 240 W PoE budget—expandable to 360 W with an optional module—powers cameras, sensors, and wireless access points. Running Cisco IOS XE with Network Essentials, it supports Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities and integrates with Cisco Catalyst Center for simplified operations.
Key Features:
- 8 × Gigabit Ethernet PoE/PoE+ Ports: Provide power and data for PoE devices, with a 240 W base PoE budget (expandable to 360 W with an expansion module).
- 3 × 1G/100M SFP Uplinks: Flexible fiber uplinks for aggregation/backbone connectivity in industrial networks.
- Ruggedized, Fanless Design (IP30): Compact DIN-rail mounting for reliable operation in harsh, space-constrained environments.
- Layer 2 & Layer 3 Support: Enables efficient traffic management and segmentation for OT/IT convergence.
- Easy Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center).
