IE-3300-8T2S-A - Cisco IE3300 8 Port Switch

Cisco IE-3300-8T2S-A — Industrial Ethernet 3300 Series Switch (8× 1G Copper + 2× 1G SFP)

What it is

IE-3300-8T2S-A is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3300 Series rugged managed switch designed for industrial edge networks (manufacturing, utilities, transportation, outdoor cabinets).
It provides 8 × 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 ports for standard wired devices plus 2 × 1G SFP uplinks for fiber backhaul — built in an industrial-ready chassis for harsh conditions.

Why buyers pick IE-3300-8T2S-A (plain English)

• Rugged switch for harsh locations
  Ideal for control cabinets, plant floors, and outdoor enclosures where regular rack switches aren’t suitable.

• Perfect for non-PoE industrial endpoints
  Great for PLCs, industrial PCs, controllers, and sensors that are self-powered.

• Fiber uplinks for distance + electrical noise immunity
  SFP uplinks are the cleanest way to uplink in electrically noisy environments.

• Cisco-managed feature set
  VLANs, QoS, STP, security controls, and Cisco CLI familiarity.

Management

• Cisco CLI, SNMP, web tools (platform dependent)

Ruggedization

• Industrial temperature tolerance

• Enhanced surge/ESD protection

• DIN-rail / wall mounting options

Use case

• Industrial cabinets, factory floor switching, utility enclosures, and harsh edge deployments

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Industrial networks needing 8 copper ports + fiber uplink

• Harsh environments where reliability matters

• OT edge switching with enterprise-style manageability

Choose something else if:

• You need powered ports → use an 8P2S PoE+ variant

• You need 10G uplinks → choose an industrial model with SFP+

• You need more ports → larger IE-3300 models

TL;DR

IE-3300-8T2S-A is a rugged Cisco industrial switch:
8×1G copper downlinks + 2×1G SFP uplinks — ideal for harsh environments that need managed switching and fiber backhaul without PoE.
