Cisco IE 3000 Switch 8 10/100 2 TSFP | Industrial Ethernet, Managed — CON-SNTE-C850QC12

Keep operational traffic moving where standard office switches fall short. The Cisco IE 3000 Switch is designed for industrial edge environments that need stable Ethernet access, uplink flexibility, and a compact footprint for control cabinets and distributed deployments. With 8 10/100 ports, this switch supports legacy and mixed-device connectivity across sensors, controllers, and local endpoints. The 2 TSFP uplinks provide a path for higher-speed aggregation or resilient upstream connections, helping network teams separate critical traffic from general access layers. For infrastructure teams supporting manufacturing, utilities, transportation, or other operational technology environments, the IE 3000 class brings the kind of port mix and deployment profile that fits long-lived industrial networks. It is a practical choice when you need to extend Ethernet into harsh or space-constrained locations without overbuying features you will not use. This model is well suited to environments where network design must balance reliability, lifecycle stability, and cost control. It gives procurement teams a clear fit for edge switching requirements while preserving room for future network segmentation and uplink planning. Ideal For Connecting PLCs, HMIs, and sensors in a manufacturing cell Adding uplinks from a remote equipment cabinet to an aggregation switch Segmenting operational traffic in a utility substation network Extending Ethernet connectivity across distributed industrial assets Why This Product 1 More suitable for industrial edge networks than office switches 2 Adds fiber-ready uplink flexibility with 2 TSFP slots 3 Supports legacy device connectivity through 10/100 ports 4 Fits control-cabinet deployments where space and reliability matter
