Cisco Catalyst IEM-3500-8T Expansion Module

The Cisco Catalyst IEM-3500-8T Expansion Module adds non-PoE Gigabit port density to IE3500 base switches for industrial and harsh environments. Providing 8 × 10/100/1000 RJ45 downlinks, it delivers reliable line-rate performance in a rugged, fanless IP30 DIN-rail form factor. Powered by the host switch (6 W module consumption, it inherits IOS XE features, licensing, and management for seamless integration—ideal where endpoints are externally powered and fiber is not required.

Key Features:

• 8 × Gigabit Ethernet Downlinks (Non-PoE: Cost-efficient copper expansion for sensors, controllers, and gateways.
• Ruggedized, Fanless Design (IP30: Built for space-constrained industrial sites with DIN-rail mounting.
• Seamless System Integration: Inherits Cisco IOS XE features and licensing from the base IE3500 switch.
• Simple Operations: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center.
• Right-Sized Expansion: Helps scale total system ports up to 19 with compatible IE3500 bases.

Technical Overview:

• Recommended for: Non-PoE port-density expansion on Cisco IE3500 deployments in industrial/harsh environments.
• Ports: 8 × 10/100/1000 Mbps RJ45 downlinks.
• PoE Budget: No PoE.
• Switching Capacity: —
• Forwarding Rate: Line-rate on all ports (all packet sizes.
• Management: Managed (Cisco IOS XE WebUI/CLI; optional Cisco Catalyst Center.
• Security: Inherits features and license tier from the base IE3500 switch.
• Energy Efficiency: Fanless operation; powered by base switch (module consumption 6 W.
