IE-3000-4TC provides convection-cooled Layer 2 switching in a DIN-rail industrial format, with four 10/100 copper access ports and two fixed Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks. Each uplink selects either its copper connection or its SFP connection, allowing different media without changing the base hardware. LAN Base is installed, and the base access ports do not provide PoE. The Industrial Ethernet 3000 family serves factory automation, energy, process-control and transportation networks. The discontinued IE-3000-8TC provides eight Fast Ethernet access ports while retaining the same uplink arrangement. This compact industrial Ethernet switch separates lower-speed endpoint connections inside the cabinet from the higher-speed connections leaving it; the uplink choice does not change the native speed of the access ports.
IE-3000-4TC price for new stock is $666.75, a 62.1% saving from the Cisco list price of $1,757.00. IE-3000-4TC refurb price is $251.21. IE-3000-4TC is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

16 Gbps switching capacity sets the fabric ceiling for local traffic, while 6.5 Mpps forwarding specifies packet-processing capacity for 64-byte frames. The address-learning table accommodates 8000 MAC entries in the installed Layer 2 configuration. IE-3000-4TC carries 128 MB of DRAM and 64 MB of removable Compact Flash, allowing software and configuration storage to move between replacement units. STP supports loop control, LACP supports link aggregation, and IGMPv3 snooping limits multicast delivery to interested receivers. Administrative access includes a web interface and console or network CLI; SSHv2 requires a cryptographic software image. DHCP snooping protects address bindings, while port security applies MAC-based restrictions to attached devices. 15.1W maximum draw is the base-switch allowance when sizing the external DC feed, separate from expansion-module consumption. Full Layer 3 routing is absent from the installed software, so Gigabit uplinks do not make this a routed-access configuration.
ORM Systems offers IE-3000-4TC new sealed and certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default.

The Cisco IE 3000 Industrial Ethernet Switch IE-3000-4TC operates as a compact Layer 2 access switch inside a control cabinet, terminating four 10/100 Ethernet device links and handing traffic upstream through two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks. Each uplink uses either copper 10/100/1000 or SFP fiber, so the cabinet connects to the wider network through the media already specified for that run. The LAN Base image keeps the deployment focused on switching services, VLAN segmentation, and controlled access from field devices to the aggregation layer.
The IE-3000-4TC sits on a resilient access ring where four Fast Ethernet ports attach local Ethernet endpoints and the two dual-purpose uplinks form fiber or copper paths to neighboring switches. Cisco IE 3000 software includes Resilient Ethernet Protocol support, so this position fits ring designs that need loop control and link-failure response outside a spanning-tree-only design. The switch keeps field-level traffic local until it must move upstream, giving the ring a defined access point with controlled recovery behavior during link events.
The Cisco IE 3000 IE-3000-4TC operates as a Layer 2 demarcation point between cabinet-level Ethernet segments and the routed network above them. Its four 10/100 access ports collect low-bandwidth device traffic, while the two dual-purpose uplinks present a copper Gigabit or SFP fiber handoff to distribution. Cisco IOS services apply VLAN, QoS, IGMP snooping, and ACL policy at the cabinet boundary. The result is a compact managed edge that separates local device switching from upstream routing and policy enforcement duties.
An existing cabinet needing additional copper connections can retain its base switch and use IEM-3000-8TM=, a discontinued expansion module with eight 10/100 ports. Keep the expansion purchase separate from a new-generation refresh, and specify module condition, the installed combination and cabinet space before issuing the purchase order.
A staging bench reproducing an existing industrial configuration can use Smartports templates for EtherNet/IP rather than starting each interface from blank settings. Capture the required template and endpoint addressing before commissioning, then specify the intended software image and configuration baseline on the purchase order.
A distributed industrial installation in a hazardous area needs an enclosure rather than an exposed switch installation: Class 1, Division 2 and Class 1, Zone 2 approvals require a cabinet enclosure. Confirm the area's classification and enclosure requirements before specifying mounting hardware and cabinet preparation on the purchase order.
Gigabit speeds on every access port
IE-3000-4TC access ports stop at 100 Mbps. IE-3300-8T2S-E provides Gigabit access with eight copper access ports instead of four, requiring a revised cabinet layout.
PoE on the base access ports
IE-3000-4TC base ports supply no PoE. IE-3300-8P2S-E provides eight Gigabit PoE+ access ports rather than four nonpowered Fast Ethernet ports for a new powered-access purchase.

IE-3000-4TC identifies an Industrial Ethernet 3000 switch: IE denotes Industrial Ethernet, 3000 identifies the family, and 4TC identifies four 10/100 access ports with two dual-purpose copper/SFP Gigabit uplinks. The unsuffixed configuration includes the Layer 2 LAN Base software image rather than IP Services.
IE-3000-4TC supports Device Manager and Express Setup web access, console/Telnet/SSHv2 CLI access, Cisco Network Assistant, Cisco Prime LMS 4.2, Cisco DNA Center, PROFINET tools, and SNMPv1/v2/v3 management. SSHv2 and encrypted SNMPv3 require a cryptographic software image; DNA Center uses separate DNA Essentials licensing.
IE-3000-4TC is discontinued and unsupported: end of sale was June 30, 2020, and Cisco support ended June 30, 2025. Security vulnerability support ended June 30, 2023. Existing installations can retain the hardware, but a replacement purchase must not assume continuing Cisco hardware or security support.
ORM Systems offers IE-3000-4TC new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Returns are 30 days on every condition; terms apply. Cisco's original five-year limited warranty and service ended June 30, 2025.
Industrial Ethernet 3000 includes LAN Base on IE-3000-4TC; IE-SW-SPARE provides the separate Layer 2-to-Layer 3 software upgrade path. DNA Essentials subscriptions use IE3000-DNA-E-L-3Y or IE3000-DNA-E-L-5Y, with a minimum three-year term. Subscription sales and renewals end December 11, 2026; that milestone does not extend ended hardware support.
IE-3000-4TC has two Gigabit dual-purpose uplinks, each sharing one RJ-45 connection with one SFP position; only one connection in each pair can be active. The SFP positions are not additional independent uplinks. GLC-SX-MM-RGD= or GLC-LX-SM-RGD= can be specified for compatible industrial-temperature fiber connections.
IE-3000-4TC uses an external 18-60V DC source and has 15.1W maximum base-switch consumption. PWR-IE50W-AC= provides AC-to-DC conversion for an AC-fed cabinet. Expansion modules have separate consumption figures, so size the cabinet supply for the actual installed combination rather than the base switch alone.
IE-3000-8TC supplies eight 10/100 access ports where IE-3000-4TC supplies four; both retain two dual-purpose Gigabit uplinks and LAN Base. Both models are discontinued, with Cisco support ended June 30, 2025. Four-port existing cabinets suit the smaller configuration; eight-port legacy cabinets need the higher-density base.
IE-3000-4TC-E includes Layer 3 IP Services where IE-3000-4TC includes Layer 2 LAN Base; the port configuration is unchanged. Both models are discontinued and unsupported. Existing routed installations use the IP Services configuration, while Layer 2-only legacy installations use LAN Base without assuming that similar part numbers include identical routing capabilities.
IE-3300-8T2S-E provides Gigabit access ports where IE-3000-4TC provides 10/100 access ports, and IE-3300-8T2S-E is the current non-PoE migration option. The replacement also has eight copper access ports instead of four. Legacy Fast Ethernet maintenance and a new Gigabit access purchase therefore require different hardware specifications.
IE-3000-4TC has no PoE output on its base access ports. IEM-3000-4PC= adds four PoE/PoE+ ports but is discontinued and requires external power: 44-57V DC for PoE or 50-57V DC for PoE+. Specify the module and power arrangement explicitly; the base switch alone cannot power endpoints.
Yes, IE-3000-4TC is affected by FN63747, which describes memory-component degradation that can cause permanent boot failure after a power cycle. Affected hardware may produce no console output and will not recover through additional reboots. Schedule restart work with replacement hardware available rather than treating repeated power cycling as recovery.
