IEM-3300-6T2S - Cisco IE3300 Rugged 6 Port GE Copper + 2 Port SFP Module

Cisco IEM-3300-6T2S — IE3300 Rugged 6-Port GE Copper + 2-Port SFP Expansion Module

What it is

IEM-3300-6T2S is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 3300 Series expansion module that adds 6 × Gigabit Ethernet copper (RJ-45) ports and 2 × SFP fiber ports to a compatible IE-3300 chassis.
It delivers a blended mix of copper and fiber connectivity in a rugged form factor — ideal for industrial and harsh-environment networks where both media types are needed for flexible edge connectivity.

Why buyers pick IEM-3300-6T2S (plain English)

Balanced connectivity
Combines six Gigabit copper ports for local device/segment access with two SFP fiber ports for uplinks or long-reach links — giving both media in one module.

Rugged industrial design
Built to withstand wide temperature ranges, shock/vibration, dust, and electrical noise found in factories, outdoor enclosures, transportation, and utilities.

Flexible fiber support
Two SFP cages let you choose multimode or single-mode optics (SR/LR, etc.) based on reach and environment — so you can tailor fiber links without extra hardware.

Consistent Cisco IOS management
Managed via Cisco IOS like the rest of the IE-3300 platform, ensuring familiar CLI, SNMP, NETCONF, programmable workflows, and industrial-grade reliability.

Easy field expansion
Modular upgrade lets you expand both copper and fiber interface counts without forklift upgrades or separate external switches.

Use case
Industrial edge switching with both copper access and fiber uplink connectivity

Where it fits (and when to choose something else)

Perfect for:

• Industrial access layers needing mixed copper and fiber I/O

• Harsh or outdoor environments (extended temp/vibration)

• Sites with local device connectivity and longer fiber uplinks

• Networks standardizing on Cisco IE and ruggedized solutions

Choose something else if:

• You need powered ports → PoE/PoE+ expansion modules (e.g., IEM-3300-8P)

• You need more fiber density → all-fiber SFP modules (e.g., IEM-3300-8S)

• You want enterprise (non-rugged) deployment → Catalyst/enterprise switches

TL;DR

IEM-3300-6T2S is Cisco’s rugged industrial expansion module for the IE3300 Series that adds six copper Gigabit ports and two SFP fiber ports —
a flexible way to expand both media types in industrial edge networks with Cisco IOS management and rugged reliability.
