Fanless Industrial Switching With Fixed Fiber Uplinks

IE-3500-8T3X-E is a fanless, managed Layer 3 industrial Ethernet switch with eight Gigabit copper access ports, three fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks, and Network Essentials. The copper ports carry data without supplying PoE, so connected equipment needs independent power. The Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series mounts on a DIN rail and provides an expansion interface for additional endpoint connections without replacing the built-in uplinks. IE-3500-8U3X-E differs by adding PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE to its copper ports. This configuration combines industrial access connections with higher-speed fiber aggregation for factory automation, transportation, and process-control networks.

IE-3500-8T3X-E price is $3,703.35, a 20.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $4,641.00. IE-3500-8T3X-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

Technical Details

Line-rate forwarding across all ports and packet sizes supports concurrent traffic without a packet-size qualification. Static routing, OSPF, OSPFv3, RIP, and PBR provide routed connectivity under the included tier; VRF-lite requires Network Advantage. 37W consumption measured at 12V provides a base-unit load reference when sizing the external power source, before adding expansion-module demand. IE-3500-8T3X-E supports MACsec-128, DHCP snooping, dynamic ARP inspection, and IP source guard for controlling access traffic. The Cisco IE3500 also supports REP and MRP for industrial ring designs, plus PTP v2 for time synchronization. A 24000-entry MAC table accommodates learned endpoints, while 5.1 GB of user-accessible flash stores software and configuration files.

Ordering

IE-3500-8T3X-E is offered new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, rated-speed links on every port, clean boot, and optics bay recognition; firmware is verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify the condition and quantities on the PO; 30-day returns apply to every condition, subject to terms, and Cisco provides a separate five-year limited hardware warranty. Enterprise and volume orders support PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement, with regional stock and RMA operations across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.

Buying Notes

Buying NotesKey Specs

Management licenses remain optional

IE-3500-8T3X-E needs no mandatory Catalyst Center subscription. Optional DNA Essentials IE3500-DNA-E-3Y and DNA Advantage IE3500-DNA-A-3Y start at three years; DNA Advantage requires Network Advantage. Meraki Enterprise LIC-IE3500-E and Meraki Advantage LIC-IE3500-A cover cloud management.

Match optics to temperature

Industrial fiber connections require temperature-matched optics. SFP-10G-SR-I= supports industrial-temperature multimode links, while commercial or extended-temperature optics reduce the allowable switch operating temperature. Specify the transceiver PID and fiber type on the PO.

Best For

Industrial Cabinet Rollout

For an industrial cabinet rollout, reserve at least 25 mm above, below, beside, and in front of the switch for unrestricted airflow and cabling access. Installation requires a vertical orientation. Check the enclosure layout, internal ambient temperature, and access to the power connectors before specifying the cabinet assembly on the PO.

Endpoint Density Expansion

When a cabinet outgrows its initial endpoint connections, IEM-3500-16T= adds sixteen Gigabit copper ports and takes the assembly to 27 total network ports. The expansion module cannot operate independently of the base switch. Specify IEM-3500-16T= with the base unit and include its additional power demand when sizing the installation.

Lab And Staging

When staging a software upgrade, reserve free flash space equal to at least twice the image size before installation. A first upgrade to a newer release can also update the boot loader. Do not interrupt power during that process; specify the software release and staging requirements before approving the equipment order.

Not Suitable If

PoE-powered cameras or access points

IE-3500-8T3X-E supplies no endpoint power. IE-3500-8U3X-E retains eight Gigabit copper ports and three 10G fiber uplinks while adding PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE with a shared 480W budget.

BGP or EIGRP routing

Network Essentials does not include BGP or EIGRP. IE-3500-8T3X-A provides Network Advantage with those protocols while retaining the same copper-port count and fixed 10G uplink configuration.

Questions & Answers

What does the part number IE-3500-8T3X-E mean?

IE-3500-8T3X-E identifies an IE3500 modular industrial switch: IE-3500 denotes the family, 8 denotes eight copper ports, T denotes the non-PoE copper configuration, 3X denotes three 10G fiber uplinks, and E denotes Network Essentials. The complete part number distinguishes this configuration from powered-port and Network Advantage variants.

How is the Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series managed?

The Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series supports an on-device WebUI, CLI access through console connections or SSH and Telnet, Catalyst Center management, and Meraki dashboard cloud management. SNMP, NETCONF, RESTCONF, and gRPC support monitoring and automation. Meraki management requires the appropriate cloud license and compatible software mode.

Is the IE3500 Rugged Series end of sale?

Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for IE3500 Rugged Series. IE-3500-8T3X-E belongs to the available industrial-switch family rather than a retired configuration requiring a successor purchase. Use the full part number when preparing an expansion or replacement order so the uplink speed and network license remain explicit.

What conditions and warranty does ORM Systems offer for IE-3500-8T3X-E?

ORM Systems offers IE-3500-8T3X-E new sealed or certified refurbished, with up to a 3-year extended warranty for new units and up to 1 year for refurbished units. Cisco provides a separate five-year limited hardware warranty. Returns are available for 30 days on every condition; terms apply.

Which licensing options are available for IE-3500-8T3X-E?

IE-3500-8T3X-E includes perpetual Network Essentials; IE3500-NW-A= upgrades the network tier to Network Advantage. Optional Cisco DNA Essentials and DNA Advantage subscriptions offer three-, five-, or seven-year terms, with DNA Advantage requiring Network Advantage. Meraki Enterprise LIC-IE3500-E and Meraki Advantage LIC-IE3500-A provide the alternative cloud-management licensing choices.

Can IE-3500-8T3X-E accept expansion modules?

Yes, IE-3500-8T3X-E accepts non-PoE expansion modules IEM-3500-8T=, IEM-3500-16T=, IEM-3500-8S=, IEM-3500-6T2S=, and IEM-3500-14T2S=. Powered expansion modules require a PoE-capable host and cannot add PoE to this base unit. Remove power before attaching or removing an expansion module, and include the selected module's consumption when sizing the external supply.

Which power inputs does IE-3500-8T3X-E use?

IE-3500-8T3X-E accepts dual external DC inputs rated 12-48V nominal, with 9.6-60V absolute limits. PWR-IE50W-AC= is a supported external supply option. The switch can operate from one source; with two connected sources, the higher-voltage source supplies power and the alternate source takes over if that source fails.

What is the difference between IE-3500-8T3X-E and IE-3500-8U3X-E?

IE-3500-8U3X-E supplies PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE with a shared 480W budget, whereas IE-3500-8T3X-E has data-only copper ports. Both retain eight Gigabit copper connections and three 10G fiber uplinks. IE-3500-8T3X-E suits independently powered equipment; IE-3500-8U3X-E suits installations that must deliver endpoint power over Ethernet.

What is the difference between IE-3500-8T3X-E and IE-3500-8T3X-A?

IE-3500-8T3X-A includes Network Advantage, while IE-3500-8T3X-E includes Network Essentials. Network Advantage adds BGP, EIGRP, IS-IS, VRF-lite, and advanced multicast routing. IE-3500-8T3X-E suits the included routing and switching functions; IE-3500-8T3X-A suits buyers whose routing, segmentation, or multicast requirements depend on the higher network tier.

What is the difference between IE-3500-8T3X-E and IE-3500-8T3S-E?

IE-3500-8T3X-E provides three 10G SFP+ uplinks, while IE-3500-8T3S-E provides three 1G SFP uplinks. Both configurations include eight non-PoE Gigabit copper access ports and Network Essentials. IE-3500-8T3X-E suits higher-speed aggregation links; IE-3500-8T3S-E suits installations whose fiber connections remain at Gigabit speed.
