ESS-3300-24T-CON-E is a conduction-cooled embedded switch bundle, not an enclosed desktop appliance. Its mainboard and expansion board provide Gigabit connectivity with fixed 10G uplink interfaces for integration into a host assembly. Network Essentials supplies the Layer 2 feature tier. The Embedded Services 3300 family targets customized industrial equipment, where the integrator determines the external connections and enclosure. ESS-3300-24T-NCP-E supplies the corresponding expanded configuration without cooling plates. Specify the thermal configuration explicitly rather than treating those ordering variants as interchangeable.

24W maximum board power establishes the electrical allowance for the combined mainboard and expansion board, separate from any host-added endpoint-power circuitry. ESS-3300-24T-CON-E requires both DC supply rails through its board connectors. Network Essentials does not supply the Network Advantage dynamic-routing feature set. Physical network connections require host integration; the board bundle does not provide a finished front panel of RJ-45 sockets or optical cages. Check connector implementation, power delivery and the enclosure’s thermal path together before approving the assembly for production.
Order ESS-3300-24T-CON-E in new sealed or certified refurbished condition, and identify the required condition and quantity on the PO. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on, POST, clean boot and rated-speed links on every port; managed units also have firmware verified and configurations wiped to factory default. ORM’s warranty is up to a 3-year extended term for new units or up to 1 year for certified refurbished units, with 30-day returns on every condition; terms apply. Enterprise and volume orders can use accepted POs, government Net-30 terms, regional stock and RMA coverage across UK, EU, US and MEA, and RMA with advance replacement.

Replaces | ESS-2020-24TC-CON / ESS-2020-24TC-CONB; end of sale July 19, 2022 |
An installed ESS-2020-24TC-CON or ESS-2020-24TC-CONB creates a replacement purchase for an existing embedded assembly. Both discontinued models reached end of sale on July 19, 2022. Treat the migration as an integration review rather than assuming mechanical interchangeability; specify the host-interface and enclosure checks before the PO.
A staging purchase for a security-sensitive assembly needs an agreed reset procedure. The erase-all zeroization operation removes software and license keys, unlike a routine configuration reset. Establish recovery-image availability and Smart Account ownership before testing, then record the intended reset and recovery procedures on the acceptance checklist.
Finished switch with front-panel connectors
ESS-3300-24T-CON-E exposes network interfaces through board connectors rather than ready-to-connect front-panel sockets. A finished appliance requires the integrator’s host assembly and external connection implementation.
Dynamic routing without a license upgrade
OSPF and EIGRP require Network Advantage. ESS-3300-24T-CON-A includes that tier with the conduction-cooled mainboard and expansion-board configuration; specify that software level instead.
PoE output from the base hardware
ESS-3300-24T-CON-E requires partner-added host-board circuitry to power endpoints. Software control alone does not supply powered ports; include the endpoint-power implementation in the integration scope.

ESS-3300 identifies the Embedded Services 3300 family; 24T identifies the mainboard-plus-expansion-board configuration; CON identifies conduction cooling; E identifies Network Essentials. ESS-3300-24T-CON-E therefore specifies the expanded hardware bundle, thermal arrangement and included software tier. Preserve every segment when matching a quotation against the purchase order.
Web UI, CLI, SNMP, NETCONF, RESTCONF, IND and Cisco Prime manage the Embedded Services 3300. SSH and RS-232 or USB console provide command-line access. Select the operational interface before acceptance testing, then include the associated host-connector access and administration requirements in the integration checklist.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Embedded Services 3300. ESS-3300-24T-CON-E belongs to that hardware series. Keep the hardware purchasing decision separate from software-release retirement, and identify the required operating-system release and support arrangements in the order’s acceptance criteria.
New sealed and certified refurbished ESS-3300-24T-CON-E units are offered by ORM Systems. Cisco provides a 1-year limited hardware warranty; ORM offers up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Both conditions have 30-day returns; terms apply.
Network Essentials is included with ESS-3300-24T-CON-E, while ESS3300-NW-A= adds Network Advantage. Select the required feature tier before ordering and identify the intended entitlement owner on the PO. The upgrade is a separate purchasing item, so a hardware-only quotation should not be treated as including the higher tier.
ESS-3300-24T-CON-E replaces the discontinued ESS-2020-24TC-CON and ESS-2020-24TC-CONB. Both predecessors reached end of sale on July 19, 2022, and their last date of support is July 31, 2027. Identify the installed predecessor completely when requesting an integration review; those milestones belong to the older hardware.
ESS-3300-24T-CON-E includes cooling plates, while ESS-3300-24T-NCP-E omits them. Both carry the expanded board configuration and Network Essentials. Choose the conduction-cooled version when the assembly uses the supplied thermal plates; choose the no-cooling-plate version when the integrator provides its own thermal implementation.
ESS-3300-24T-CON-E includes Network Essentials, while ESS-3300-24T-CON-A includes Network Advantage. The distinction is the included software tier rather than a different cooling configuration. The Essentials model suits the Layer 2 requirement; the Advantage model suits a purchase that must include the higher-tier routing feature set.
ESS-3300-24T-CON-E includes the expansion board for 24 Gigabit interfaces, while ESS-3300-CON-E supplies the mainboard with eight Gigabit interfaces. Both use conduction cooling and Network Essentials. Select the expanded bundle for the larger interface requirement; select the mainboard configuration when the host assembly needs fewer connections.
No, ESS-3300-24T-CON-E requires partner-added circuitry in the host assembly to provide PoE output. Cisco IOS XE can control the integrated endpoint-power implementation, but that software capability is not a built-in power source. Specify the host power circuitry and endpoint requirements separately from the switch-board purchase.
The conduction-cooled Embedded Services 3300 supports -40°C to 85°C measured at the cooling plate, not an unconditional enclosure-ambient rating. The completed assembly’s operating range depends on its thermal design. Specify where temperature will be measured and require enclosure-level thermal validation before accepting the integrated equipment.
ESS-3300-24T-CON-E provides two 1G/10G uplink interfaces through its board connections rather than finished front-panel cages. Supported optical choices include SFP-10G-SR-X and SFP-10G-LR-X. Match the selected transceiver to the fiber plant and the host assembly’s optical implementation before finalizing the associated connection items on the purchase order.
