Cisco Systems, Inc. IE-3200-8T2S-E network switch 8 RJ45 2 SFP

Industrial Managed Switch

The Cisco IE-3200-8T2S-E is a DIN rail mounted managed switch designed for industrial networking applications. It provides eight copper RJ45 ports and two SFP uplink ports for fiber connectivity in harsh environments. Network engineers and automation technicians use it to build reliable Ethernet infrastructure. The switch runs Cisco Network Essentials software for managed Layer 2 operation.

10/100/1000Mbps Port Speed

Every RJ45 and SFP port operates at 10/100/1000Mbps, so the single deciding specification is whether your devices require Gigabit Ethernet or can run on slower Fast Ethernet links. The 8K MAC address table and 8996 byte jumbo frame support handle typical industrial traffic loads. VLAN tagging, LACP link aggregation and IEEE 1588v2 precision time protocol are included for deterministic performance. Buyers needing 10GbE uplinks or PoE power delivery must select a different model.

DIN Rail Installation

The unit mounts on standard DIN rail using the integrated clip, requiring no tools beyond a screwdriver for the terminal block power input. Copper ports use standard RJ45 patch cables while SFP slots accept any compatible 1GbE transceiver module. A common issue is forgetting to configure the management VLAN before connecting the switch to the production network, which can lock out remote access. The compact 6.00 by 3.60 by 5.30 inch footprint fits crowded cabinets but leaves little room for cable bend radius.
