Cisco IE-4000-8GT4G-E Industrial Ethernet Switch
The Cisco IE-4000-8GT4G-E is a rugged industrial Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for demanding industrial networking environments. It provides 8 Gigabit RJ45 copper ports for connecting industrial Ethernet devices and 4 Gigabit combo uplink ports that support either SFP fiber or RJ45 copper connectivity. This combination provides high-density Gigabit access together with flexible uplink options for industrial network aggregation.
Built on Cisco IOS Software, the IE-4000 series brings enterprise networking capabilities into industrial environments such as manufacturing, energy, transportation, utilities, smart-city infrastructure and industrial automation. The platform supports advanced Layer 2 switching, industrial redundancy protocols, QoS, security and network management features.
Important: The Cisco IE-4000 Series is an end-of-sale product family. Cisco lists July 26, 2024 as the end-of-sale date and July 31, 2029 as the end-of-support date for the series. Availability today may therefore depend on existing inventory, refurbished equipment or secondary sourcing.

High-Density Gigabit Industrial Connectivity
The IE-4000-8GT4G-E combines eight dedicated Gigabit copper interfaces with four Gigabit combo uplinks. The eight RJ45 ports support 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet connections for industrial controllers, PLCs, automation equipment, servers, cameras and other Ethernet-enabled devices.
The four combo interfaces provide additional flexibility because each can be used with compatible Gigabit SFP fiber modules or RJ45 copper connectivity. This allows the switch to operate as an industrial access switch or as part of a larger fiber-connected industrial network.
Industrial Network Redundancy
Industrial environments often require greater resilience than conventional office networks. The IE-4000 platform supports several redundancy technologies, including Resilient Ethernet Protocol (REP), Parallel Redundancy Protocol (PRP), Media Redundancy Protocol (MRP), High Availability Seamless Redundancy (HSR), EtherChannel and Flex Links.
The four Gigabit uplink interfaces can also support resilient ring and uplink architectures where appropriate. Dual DC power inputs provide an additional layer of power redundancy for critical installations.
Cisco IOS Industrial Networking
The IE-4000 uses Cisco IOS Software, enabling organizations familiar with Cisco switching environments to apply established configuration, management and security practices in industrial networks. The platform supports VLANs, QoS, multicast, network monitoring and security functions required for converged industrial Ethernet environments.
The switch supports industrial technologies including CIP Ethernet/IP, PROFINET v2, IEEE 1588 Precision Time Protocol and CIP Time Sync. These capabilities make the platform suitable for applications where deterministic timing, industrial protocol integration and synchronized network devices are important.
Rugged Industrial Deployment
The IE-4000-8GT4G-E is designed for harsh industrial environments and supports an operating temperature range of -40 to 70°C. Its industrial form factor is suitable for DIN-rail installations, control cabinets and other locations where conventional commercial Ethernet switches may not provide the required environmental resilience.
Cisco specifies protection and compliance characteristics addressing industrial requirements such as vibration, shock, surge, noise immunity and corrosion. This makes the IE-4000 platform appropriate for industrial automation, energy, transportation, utility and outdoor infrastructure applications.
Typical Applications
- Industrial automation networks
- Factory Ethernet infrastructure
- PLC and SCADA networks
- Manufacturing and production facilities
- Energy and utility networks
- Transportation and intelligent transportation systems
- Industrial surveillance and IP camera networks
- Industrial IoT connectivity
- Fiber-connected industrial Ethernet networks
- Legacy Cisco IE-4000 replacement and expansion projects
Compatibility and Licensing Considerations
The IE-4000-8GT4G-E specifically provides eight Gigabit RJ45 copper ports and four Gigabit combo SFP/RJ45 uplinks. It should not be confused with the IE-4000-8T4G-E, which uses 10/100 Mbps copper ports, or the IE-4000-8GS4G-E, which uses Gigabit SFP ports.
The standard hardware ships with the LAN Base feature set. Additional capabilities, including certain Layer 3 routing and advanced security functions, depend on the installed software license. Cisco also specifies that SFP compatibility can vary by software release, so the exact transceiver should be checked against the applicable Cisco compatibility documentation before deployment.
Because the IE-4000 series is end-of-sale, customers purchasing this model should verify hardware revision, software version, SFP compatibility, condition, accessories and warranty/support status before ordering.
