Product Overview

TL;DR: The IE-3500H-12P2MU2X is the most capable model in the IE3500 Heavy Duty Series, featuring 12 GE PoE/PoE+ ports, 2 multigigabit ports with 4PPoE (up to 60W), and 2 10GE SFP+ fiber uplinks — all in an IP66/IP67 enclosure. It runs Cisco IOS XE with Cyber Vision, ThousandEyes, and SD-Access fabric support.

10GE SFP+ Uplinks

Two 10-Gigabit SFP+ fiber uplink ports provide high-speed connectivity back to the distribution layer or data center.

60W 4PPoE per Port

Two multigigabit ports deliver up to 60W (IEEE 802.3bt Type 3) for high-power devices, plus 12 GE PoE/PoE+ ports at 30W each.

IP66/IP67 Heavy Duty

Dustproof and waterproof design rated for extreme temperatures (-40°C to +75°C), shock, vibration, and corrosive environments.

OT Security Built-In

Cisco Cyber Vision identifies assets and vulnerabilities. TrustSec microsegmentation and Secure Equipment Access provide zero-trust protection.

ThousandEyes Agent

Host ThousandEyes Enterprise Agent for device-to-cloud network assurance and faster issue resolution across IT and OT networks.

Fabric Support

Extend IT fabric into OT with SD-Access Fabric Edge and BGP-EVPN support for scalable, easy-to-manage large networks.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes this model different from the 14P2T?

The 12P2MU2X adds two 10GE SFP+ fiber uplinks and two multigigabit ports with 4PPoE (60W), making it ideal for high-bandwidth and high-power deployments.

What SFP modules are supported?

The 10GE SFP+ ports support a wide range of optics including 10GBASE-SR, LR, ER, ZR, and bidirectional modules in commercial, extended, and industrial temperature ranges.

What is the maximum PoE per port?

The 2 multigigabit ports support up to 60W (4PPoE/802.3bt Type 3). The 12 GE ports support up to 30W (PoE+/802.3at). Total budget is 240W.

Does it support SD-Access?

Yes. With the Network Advantage license, the IE-3500H-12P2MU2X supports SD-Access Fabric Edge and BGP-EVPN leaf node functionality.
