IE-3500-8U3X-E is a fanless Layer 3 industrial switch with eight Gigabit copper access ports supporting PoE, PoE+, and 4PPoE, plus three fixed 10G SFP+ uplinks. Its DIN-rail chassis places powered Ethernet connections inside industrial control cabinets rather than a full-width rack installation. The Cisco IE3500 Rugged Series runs Cisco IOS XE, and this configuration ships with the perpetual Network Essentials feature set. Powered cameras and wireless access points can share the access interfaces with industrial Ethernet equipment. IE-3500-8T3X-E retains the same copper-port count and uplink speeds but removes endpoint power, distinguishing the non-PoE alternative for externally powered devices.
IE-3500-8U3X-E price is $6,639.15, a 26.2% saving from the Cisco list price of $8,991.00. IE-3500-8U3X-E is in stock and available for next-day dispatch. (terms applied)

480W of shared PoE power sets the total allocation for attached devices, rather than guaranteeing maximum output at every powered port. OSPF, OSPFv3, RIP, static routing, and PBR provide routed connectivity under the included tier; BGP, EIGRP, and IS-IS require Network Advantage. Line-rate forwarding covers all ports and packet sizes for mixed Ethernet traffic. The address table accommodates 24000 entries for endpoint learning across the installed interfaces. IE-3500-8U3X-E provides 5.1 GB of user-accessible flash for software images and saved configuration. 49W of switch consumption measured at 54V DC excludes power delivered to PoE devices, so electrical sizing must include those loads separately. Dual external DC inputs accept independent sources, with the higher-voltage input active during normal operation and the alternate available after source failure. PRP, HSR, and DLR are unavailable on this model.
ORM Systems supplies IE-3500-8U3X-E new sealed or certified refurbished; refurbished units are inspected and bench-tested for power-on and POST, clean boot, rated-speed port links, optics bay recognition, and PoE output under load on every powered port, with firmware verified and configuration wiped to factory default. Specify condition, quantity, external power equipment, and required accessories on the purchase order. New orders offer up to a 3-year extended ORM warranty and certified refurbished orders up to 1 year, separately from Cisco's five-year limited hardware platform warranty; returns cover 30 days in every condition, terms apply. PO acceptance, Net-30 for government, and RMA with advance replacement support enterprise and volume orders, with regional stock and RMA coverage across the UK, EU, US, and MEA.
| Key Specs | Key Spec Values |
|---|---|
Operating System | Cisco IOS XE |

When endpoint additions would otherwise require another cabinet switch, IEM-3500-16P= adds sixteen Gigabit PoE+ connections for twenty-seven total system ports. The module attaches to the existing base rather than operating independently. Specify the expansion module and review its additional power demand before issuing the purchase order.
When a spare must restore a cabinet's configuration without rebuilding it manually, SD-IE-16GB= provides optional removable storage for the swap-drive workflow. The card does not ship by default, and stored images and configuration must be prepared before a failure. Include SD-IE-16GB= and configuration staging in the spare-equipment order.
When switches are assembled in an industrial enclosure before site shipment, allow 25 mm of clearance above, below, beside, and in front of the unit. Expansion modules must be attached before DIN-rail installation, with power disconnected. Specify enclosure spacing and the assembly sequence in the staging instructions.
BGP or EIGRP under included license
IE-3500-8U3X-E includes Network Essentials, which lacks BGP and EIGRP. IE-3500-8U3X-A supplies Network Advantage on the same port configuration for deployments requiring those routing protocols.
PRP HSR or DLR redundancy
IE-3500-8U3X-E lacks PRP, HSR, and DLR. IE3505 variants support those functions but use 1G uplinks instead of 10G uplinks; match endpoint-power requirements before selecting a replacement.
Eight simultaneous 90W powered endpoints
IE-3500-8U3X-E shares 480W across powered ports, below 8 x 90W = 720W. The 90W per-port capability does not permit maximum output from every port simultaneously.

IE-3500-8U3X-E identifies an IE3500 Rugged modular industrial switch: IE-3500 names the family, 8 means eight copper Gigabit ports, U means PoE/PoE+/4PPoE, 3X means three 10G uplinks, and E means Network Essentials. The uplinks use SFP+ cages; modularity refers to optional port expansion rather than a removable uplink card.
IE-3500-8U3X-E supports WebUI and CLI management through SSH, Telnet, RJ-45 console, or USB-C console; centralized options are Catalyst Center and the Meraki dashboard. Meraki management requires Cisco IOS XE 26.1.1 or later on the base switch and appropriate cloud licensing. The cloud-management mode also provides a Local Status Page.
Cisco has not announced an end-of-sale date for IE3500 Rugged. The series remains available to order. IE-3500-8U3X-E continues as a Network Essentials configuration, so procurement can specify the exact hardware and license tier without substituting a successor model for a discontinued part.
IE-3500-8U3X-E is offered new sealed or certified refurbished. Cisco's platform warranty is five-year limited hardware coverage; ORM provides up to a 3-year extended warranty on new units and up to 1 year on certified refurbished units. Returns are available for 30 days in either condition; terms apply.
IE-3500-8U3X-E includes perpetual Network Essentials, with Network Advantage available through IE3500-NW-A=. Optional Cisco DNA Essentials and Cisco DNA Advantage have three-, five-, and seven-year terms; Cisco DNA Advantage requires Network Advantage. Separate Meraki Enterprise and Meraki Advantage licenses support cloud management, while standalone operation does not require a Catalyst Center subscription.
IE-3500-8U3X-E provides PoE/PoE+/4PPoE on its copper ports, while IE-3500-8T3X-E is non-PoE. Both configurations have eight Gigabit copper ports, three 10G uplinks, and Network Essentials. IE-3500-8U3X-E suits endpoints requiring Ethernet-delivered power; IE-3500-8T3X-E suits equipment with independent power connections where endpoint power is not required from the switch.
IE-3500-8U3X-E includes Network Essentials, whereas IE-3500-8U3X-A includes Network Advantage. The license difference adds advanced routing choices such as BGP, EIGRP, and IS-IS without changing the copper-port or uplink configuration. IE-3500-8U3X-E suits Essentials-based switching and routing; IE-3500-8U3X-A suits deployments requiring the additional perpetual network features.
IE-3500-8U3X-E has three 10G SFP+ uplinks, while IE-3500-8P3S-E has three 1G SFP uplinks. The uplink distinction matters when specifying the distribution connection and its optical interfaces. IE-3500-8U3X-E suits deployments requiring 10G uplink capacity; IE-3500-8P3S-E suits connections that remain at Gigabit uplink speed.
IE-3500-8U3X-E provides a shared 480W PoE budget and supports 90W per powered port. Eight ports at 90W would require 720W, exceeding that shared budget. Configure allocations for attached loads and available external power; adding a powered expansion module does not increase the 480W ceiling.
IE-3500-8U3X-E accepts one or two external DC sources through separate connectors rather than internal PSU modules. When both sources are connected, the higher-voltage source supplies power; the other takes over after failure. Set the PoE allocation for the smaller supply's capacity, allowing for switch and module consumption.
IE3500 Rugged supports IEM-3500-8T=, IEM-3500-16T=, IEM-3500-8S=, IEM-3500-6T2S=, IEM-3500-14T2S=, IEM-3500-8P=, IEM-3500-16P=, and IEM-3500-4MU=. The powered IE-3500-8U3X-E can host PoE expansion modules; each requires the base switch and shares its power constraints. Select copper, fiber, or 2.5G ports according to the required endpoint interfaces and installation requirements.
IE3500 Rugged switches mount on a DIN rail, and IE-3500-8U3X-E includes a rear spring-loaded latch. The base unit measures 152.4 mm high, 111.3 mm wide, and 134.4 mm deep. Install the chassis vertically and allow the required clearances; adding an expansion module increases the assembly width.
Yes, IE-3500-8U3X-E supports Layer 3 routing with Network Essentials, including static routing, OSPF, OSPFv3, RIP, and PBR. BGP, EIGRP, and IS-IS belong to Network Advantage rather than the included tier. Specify IE3500-NW-A= when advanced routing is required on this hardware; optional management subscriptions do not replace that perpetual license.
IE-3500-8U3X-E accepts SFP-10G-SR-I= for industrial-temperature multimode fiber and SFP-10G-ER-I= for industrial-temperature single-mode fiber. SFP-10G-ER-I= supports a 40 km link; SFP-10G-SR-I= reach depends on the multimode fiber grade. Nonindustrial optics require temperature derating, so match the transceiver's temperature class, reach, and fiber type before ordering.
