Description
The Cisco IE-3500-8T3S-A Industrial Ethernet Switch is a rugged, modular Layer 3 switch engineered for mission-critical industrial and operational technology (OT) networks. Designed to perform reliably in harsh environments, this model delivers high-availability switching with advanced security, resiliency, and segmentation features enabled through the Network Advantage license.
Featuring 8 Gigabit Ethernet copper ports and 3 Gigabit Ethernet SFP uplinks, the IE-3500-8T3S-A supports scalable industrial architectures, redundant ring topologies, and secure edge-to-core connectivity. Its fanless, DIN-rail-mountable design ensures silent operation, extended durability, and resistance to shock, vibration, and extreme temperatures.
With built-in support for advanced routing protocols, Cisco TrustSec, MACsec-256, time-sensitive networking (TSN), and flexible management via on-device UI, Cisco Catalyst Center, or cloud-based dashboards, the IE-3500-8T3S-A is ideal for manufacturing, transportation, utilities, and smart infrastructure deployments requiring secure, deterministic, and resilient networking.
