IE-3200-8P2S-E - Cisco IE3200 Rugged Series 8 Port PoE Switch

Cisco IE-3200-8P2S-E — Industrial Ethernet 3200 Series Switch (8× PoE+ 1G + 2× 1G SFP)

What it is

IE-3200-8P2S-E is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3200 Series rugged managed switch designed for industrial edge deployments (factories, utilities, transportation, outdoor cabinets).
It provides 8 × 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ ports for powered devices plus 2 × 1G SFP uplinks for fiber backhaul, built in a hardened chassis that’s made to survive heat, vibration, dust, and electrical noise.

Why buyers pick IE-3200-8P2S-E (plain English)

• Industrial-grade reliability
  Built for environments where standard office switches won’t last.

• PoE+ for edge devices
  Powers cameras, access control, Wi-Fi APs, sensors, and controllers without injectors.

• Fiber uplinks for distance and noise immunity
  SFP uplinks let you backhaul over fiber — ideal for long runs and electrically noisy areas.

• Managed switching features
  VLANs, QoS, STP, security, and predictable operation with Cisco IOS-style management.

• A clean fit for OT + IT networks
  Bridges industrial devices into enterprise networks with standard Cisco tooling.

Access / downlink ports

• 8 × 10/100/1000Base-T RJ-45 with PoE+ (802.3at)

Uplinks

• 2 × 1G SFP fiber uplink ports

PoE

• PoE+ per port (up to 30W each, budget-limited)

• Total PoE budget depends on power supply and configuration

Switching / features

• Managed Layer 2 switching (VLANs, QoS, STP/RSTP)

• Common security controls (ACLs, port security)

Management

• Cisco CLI, SNMP, Web-based tools (platform dependent)

Ruggedization

• Industrial temperature tolerance

• Enhanced surge/ESD protection

• DIN-rail / wall mounting options

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Industrial edge PoE deployments (cameras/APs/controllers)

• Smart building cabinets and harsh wiring closets

• Any site needing PoE + fiber uplinks in a rugged switch

Choose something else if:

• You don’t need rugged hardware → campus switches cost less

• You need 10G uplinks → look at higher-end industrial models with SFP+

• You need more PoE ports → choose a larger IE-3200/3400 model

TL;DR

IE-3200-8P2S-E is a rugged Cisco industrial PoE switch:
8×1G PoE+ copper ports + 2×1G SFP uplinks — ideal for harsh environments where you need managed switching and powered edge connectivity.
