IE-2000-8TC-G-B Cisco IE2000 8x10/100 RJ45/2GE uplink Switch, LAN Base
Cisco IE-2000-8TC-G-B Industrial Ethernet 8-Port 10/100 Switch
Ruggedized DIN-Rail Mountable Layer 2 Switch for Harsh Industrial Environments
The Cisco IE-2000-8TC-G-B Industrial Ethernet Switch is a rugged, compact networking solution engineered for harsh industrial environments where reliability and resilience are critical. Designed as part of the Cisco IE2000 Series, this managed switch delivers stable Layer 2 switching with advanced security and management features, making it ideal for industrial automation, intelligent transportation systems (ITS), substations, and factory floor deployments.
Equipped with 8 Fast Ethernet RJ45 ports and 2 Gigabit Ethernet combo uplinks, the IE-2000-8TC-G-B offers flexible connectivity options using copper or fiber, enabling seamless integration with industrial backbones and enterprise networks. Its fanless, IP30-rated design ensures dependable operation in extreme conditions, supporting a wide operating temperature range from -40°C to +70°C.
The switch runs on LAN Base software, providing essential features such as VLANs, QoS, IGMP snooping, port security, and 802.1X authentication to protect critical industrial traffic. Dual DC power inputs (9.6V–60V DC) add power redundancy, ensuring uninterrupted operation in mission-critical installations.
With DIN-rail or wall-mount support and integration with Cisco DNA Center for simplified monitoring and visibility, the Cisco IE-2000-8TC-G-B is a cost-effective, industrial-grade Ethernet switch built for long-term performance, security, and operational continuity.

FAQ:
Q1. What is a "Combo" port on the IE-2000-8TC-G-B?
A combo port provides one physical RJ45 port and one SFP slot. Only one of the two can be active at a time, giving you the flexibility to use either copper or fiber cabling for your uplinks.
Q2. Does this switch support Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
No, this specific model is a non-PoE switch. If your deployment requires powering IP cameras or sensors, you would need an IE-2000 model with a "P" or "U" in the suffix (e.g., IE-2000-8TC-G-P).
Q3. Is the power supply included with the switch?
Industrial switches typically do not include a power supply because they are designed to run off a cabinet's DC power bus. You will need a separate 24V or 48V DC power source.
Q4. What is the difference between the LAN Lite and LAN Base versions?
The LAN Base version (this model) offers more advanced features than LAN Lite, including expanded security, enhanced QoS, and support for more VLANs and IGMP groups.
Q5. Can this switch be used in outdoor environments?
While the switch is rated for extreme temperatures, it is IP30 rated, meaning it must be installed inside an NEMA-rated enclosure to protect it from rain, dust, and direct moisture.
