IE-3000-4TC Overview
IE-3000-4TC operates from -40°C to +75°C for industrial access in harsh cabinets and field enclosures. This managed Layer 2 Cisco IE 3000 switch provides 6 physical ports with Fast Ethernet access and Gigabit combo uplinks. Four 10/100 RJ-45 ports handle local copper connections for controllers, workstations, and instrumentation. Two dual-purpose uplinks activate as 10/100/1000 RJ-45 copper or SFP fiber, with one side active per uplink. Non-PoE switching keeps power delivery separate from data connectivity. The DIN rail mount chassis also supports wall and 19-inch rack mounting options. Its LAN Base image aligns the hardware with Layer 2 industrial switching deployments.
16 Gbps switching fabric forwards deterministic plant-floor traffic across copper and fiber links. 6.5 Mpps forwarding rate handles 64-byte packets at wire speed across the platform. IE-3000-4TC uses 128 MB DRAM and 64 MB Compact Flash memory for Cisco IOS services. 8000 MAC address entries support Layer 2 endpoint tables. VLANs, IEEE 802.1Q, IGMPv3 snooping, and IEEE 802.1D STP organize Layer 2 traffic. EtherChannel LACP and REP add recovery paths for resilient industrial rings and uplinks. SNMP v1/v2/v3, Device Manager, HTTPS, PROFINET management, and Cisco DNA Center support administration and monitoring.
Industrial access deployments connect PLCs, HMIs, sensors, traffic systems, security workstations, and control-room devices. Expansion support accepts up to two Cisco IE 3000 modules for more copper or fiber interfaces. DIN-rail installation fits control panels, while optional 19-inch rack mounting supports cabinet standardization. IE-3000-4TC is available from ORM Systems in new and certified refurbished condition. Certified refurbished stock is tested, cleaned, and verified before resale. Check price or request a quote from ORM Systems for replacement projects, industrial refreshes, and volume hardware orders.

IE-3000-4TC Use Case
Field Cabinet Access
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.
Industrial Ring Access
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.
Management Demarcation
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.
