IE-3100-18T2C-E combines fanless cooling with eighteen 10/100/1000 copper access ports and two fixed 1G combo uplinks in a DIN rail industrial chassis. Each uplink uses either its RJ-45 connection or SFP cage, providing a copper or fiber handoff without a removable uplink card. The Catalyst IE3100 Rugged switch ships with Network Essentials and provides Layer 2+ connectivity for industrial endpoints that receive their power separately. This uncoated version differs from IE-3100-18T2C-CC-E, which adds conformal coating. Its Industrial Ethernet positioning covers manufacturing, energy, and transportation installations requiring hardened equipment. Access-port density, endpoint power arrangements, and uplink media therefore belong in the initial hardware selection rather than a later expansion plan.
IE-3100-18T2C-E price for new stock is $3,222.45, a 33.4% saving from the Cisco list price of $4,841.00. IE-3100-18T2C-E refurb price is $3,020.85. IE-3100-18T2C-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

29.76 Mpps forwarding supports processing measured with 64-byte packets, while 20 Gbps forwarding bandwidth defines the traffic envelope for this configuration. 36.7W consumption provides the basis for thermal-load and battery-capacity planning; maximum input current and inrush require separate consideration when sizing electrical wiring. IE-3100-18T2C-E has 4 GB DRAM and 1.5 GB user-accessible flash for operating software and local storage. An 8000-entry MAC table and 256 VLANs scope address learning and segmentation, with eight egress queues supporting traffic classification and shaping. Static routing and inter-VLAN routing keep routed designs within the supplied feature set rather than dynamic route exchange. REP, MRP, and G.8032 version 1 support Ethernet ring resiliency, while LACP aggregates links. Secure Boot, image signing, and the Trust Anchor module support boot integrity. WebUI and SSH provide management access, with SNMP monitoring and NETCONF or RESTCONF configuration for automated installations. Cabinet airflow determines the applicable operating-temperature limit.
IE-3100-18T2C-E is available from ORM Systems new sealed or certified refurbished, with ORM warranties of up to a 3-year extended term for new units or up to 1 year for certified refurbished units; every condition has 30-day returns, terms apply. Cisco's separate coverage is a five-year limited hardware warranty. Certified refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, every port linking at rated speed, and optics bay recognition, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition and quantity on the PO; enterprise and volume orders have PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA handling across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

When replacing discontinued industrial switches, this model is the migration option for IE-2000-16TC-B, IE-2000-16TC-G-E, IE-2000-16TC-G-L, IE-2000-16TC-L, and IE-2000U-16TC-G. Those older models reached end of sale on July 26, 2024. Treat the refresh as a new configuration rather than assuming feature parity; verify connector choices and required automation features before specifying the replacement order.
When a spare is staged for a controls cabinet, alarm wiring needs acceptance checks alongside Ethernet connectivity. Two dry-contact alarm inputs support monitoring external conditions, but each site's alarm assignments belong in the commissioning plan. Include the alarm wiring schedule and define the required input checks before ordering the spare.
When the same controls network is installed across several facilities, humidity limits matter independently of ambient temperature. The switch supports 5% to 95% noncondensing relative humidity, so the environmental schedule needs to address moisture exposure at each location. Specify enclosure moisture controls and confirm installation conditions before the purchase order.
PoE-powered endpoint connections
IE-3100-18T2C-E does not deliver endpoint power. IE-3100-8P2C-E provides eight PoE+ access ports with a 240W budget, but reduces copper access-port density from eighteen to eight.
10G uplinks to aggregation
The fixed combo uplinks on IE-3100-18T2C-E operate at 1G, not 10G. No removable network expansion card adds higher-speed uplink ports to this configuration.
Layer 2 network address translation
IE-3100-18T2C-E lacks L2NAT. IE-3105-18T2C-E adds the advanced feature set that supports L2NAT while retaining eighteen Gigabit copper downlinks and two Gigabit combo uplinks.
Conformal coating as a requirement
IE-3100-18T2C-E does not include conformal coating. IE-3100-18T2C-CC-E adds conformal coating while retaining eighteen copper downlinks and two Gigabit combo uplinks.

IE-3100-18T2C-E identifies a Catalyst IE3100 switch with eighteen Gigabit copper downlinks, two Gigabit combo uplinks, and Network Essentials. IE-3100 identifies the industrial family, 18T denotes eighteen copper ports, 2C denotes two combo uplinks, and E denotes the Network Essentials license. The combo uplinks can use copper or fiber.
WebUI, CLI over SSH or Telnet, local RJ-45 or Micro USB console, and optional Cisco Catalyst Center manage Catalyst IE3100 Rugged switches. SNMP supports monitoring, while NETCONF and RESTCONF support programmable configuration. Select the management method before staging so access settings and any centralized management subscription are included in the deployment plan.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for Catalyst IE3100 Rugged. Software-release and removable-storage retirement milestones are separate from chassis retirement and do not establish an end-of-sale date for this switch. Hardware-version compatibility and the software image selected for commissioning still require separate checks before deployment.
ORM Systems offers IE-3100-18T2C-E new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco's platform warranty is five-year limited hardware coverage; ORM's separate warranty is up to a 3-year extended term for new units or up to 1 year for certified refurbished units. Every condition includes 30-day returns, with terms applying.
IE-3100-18T2C-E includes perpetual Network Essentials and does not require a subscription for standalone operation. Optional Cisco Catalyst Center Essentials starts at a one-year term, using IE3100-DNA-E-M-1Y for this port count. The management subscription adds centralized discovery, inventory, topology, and software-image management rather than replacing the perpetual network license.
IE-3100-18T2C-E replaces the discontinued IE-2000-16TC-B, IE-2000-16TC-G-E, IE-2000-16TC-G-L, IE-2000-16TC-L, and IE-2000U-16TC-G. All five older PIDs reached end of sale on July 26, 2024, with last support scheduled for July 31, 2029. The replacement provides Gigabit copper connectivity, but each migration still needs a feature and connector review.
No, IE-3100-18T2C-E does not supply PoE to connected devices. The eighteen Gigabit copper downlinks carry data rather than endpoint power, so powered devices need another power source. A purchase order for this model should not assume that adding an external switch power supply enables PoE output.
GLC-SX-MM-RGD= and GLC-LX-SM-RGD= are supported 1G optics for IE-3100-18T2C-E. GLC-SX-MM-RGD= supports multimode fiber to 550 m; GLC-LX-SM-RGD= supports single-mode fiber to 10 km. Select the transceiver by fiber type and link distance, and confirm the required operating-temperature class before adding fiber connectivity to the purchase order.
IE-3100-18T2C-E supports static routing and inter-VLAN routing with Network Essentials. The switch therefore meets a Layer 2+ requirement rather than a dynamic-routing requirement. Plan the routed interfaces and static next hops before commissioning, and keep the intended routing design within the feature set supplied by the included perpetual network license.
IE-3100-18T2C-E accepts dual DC inputs, rated 12-48V DC nominal with a 9.6-60V DC absolute range. PWR-IE65W-PC-AC= is a supported external supply option for AC-fed installations. Dual inputs allow separate feeds rather than interchangeable internal power-supply modules. Specify the intended input arrangement and compatible power accessories on the purchase order.
IE-3100-18T2C-E mounts on DIN rail rather than using a full-width 19-inch chassis. STK-RACK-DINRAIL= provides a 19-inch DIN rail mount kit when rack installation is required. The switch measures 127 mm high, 109.2 mm wide, and 129 mm deep, so allow space for wiring and Ethernet connections when specifying the cabinet layout.
IE-3100-18T2C-E V04 and later requires Cisco IOS XE 17.15.5 or later, 17.18.2 or later, or 26.1.1 or later within the corresponding release train. Earlier images cannot boot this updated hardware, and downgrading is not supported. Check the version ID on the product label before standardizing the staging image or ordering replacement units.
IE-3100-18T2C-E is non-PoE, while IE-3100-8P2C-E supplies PoE+ on eight copper downlinks with a 240W budget. That powered model also has fewer access ports, so it is not a density-equivalent substitute. Choose IE-3100-18T2C-E for eighteen separately powered copper endpoints; choose IE-3100-8P2C-E when eight endpoint connections need switch-delivered power.
IE-3100-18T2C-E lacks conformal coating, while IE-3100-18T2C-CC-E includes it. Both configurations retain eighteen Gigabit copper downlinks, two Gigabit combo uplinks, and Network Essentials. The uncoated model suits orders without a coating requirement; the coated PID suits an environmental specification that explicitly requires conformal coating on the switch.
IE-3100-18T2C-E provides eighteen copper downlinks, while IE-3100-8T2C-E provides eight. Both models retain two Gigabit combo uplinks and Network Essentials, so the purchase distinction is access-port density. Specify the larger model when the endpoint schedule exceeds eight copper connections; specify the smaller model when eight access ports cover the installation.
