Cisco IEM-3300-14T2S Mixed Copper and SFP Module

IEM-3300-14T2S: Cisco IEM-3300 mixed expansion module with 14 copper and 2 SFP ports

The IEM-3300-14T2S (spare order code IEM-3300-14T2S=) adds sixteen ports in one body: fourteen 10/100/1000 copper ports and two 100/1000 SFP ports. Seven Star LLC supplies IEM-3300-14T2S in Oman and the GCC as an independent supplier based in Muscat, not affiliated with the manufacturer.

It is a convenient module when a cabinet needs both many copper connections and a pair of local fiber links, for example to a neighboring cabinet, without buying separate copper and fiber modules. On a 10-port base, it brings the system to 26 ports.

Decoding the part number IEM-3300-14T2S

The module number follows the series naming. The table reads each element of IEM-3300-14T2S and shows the other values used across the IEM-3300 range.

IEM-3300-14T2S technical specifications

How the IEM-3300-14T2S behaves in the network

The two SFP ports on the module are ordinary switch ports, so they can be used as additional uplinks, ring links or fiber drops. They are managed by the base software like any other port, and a ring protocol can be configured across them.

Compared with a separate copper module and fiber module, the mixed module saves rail width: it takes 3.6 in and 16 W, while a 16-port copper module and an eight-port fiber module together would take more space and power.

Where IEM-3300-14T2S fits: compatible and related parts

The smaller sibling is IEM-3300-6T2S= with six copper and two SFP ports in the narrower body, and the pure variants are IEM-3300-16T= and IEM-3300-8S=. It works on all IE3300 and IE3400 bases; PoE is not available on this module.

Selection and ordering checklist for IEM-3300-14T2S

• Confirm the split of 14 copper and 2 fiber ports matches the cabinet.
• If more fiber is needed, use IEM-3300-8S.
• Check rail width of 3.6 in.
• Include 16 W in the supply calculation.
• On an IE3400 base with TrustSec, check IEM-3400 alternatives.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance

The IEM-3300-14T2S attaches to the side of a compatible base switch on the same DIN rail and becomes part of one logical switch with the base. The datasheet notes that single-wide modules add 2 in to the system width and double-wide modules add 3 in, so measure the cabinet rail before ordering and leave room for the whole stack. Record which SFP slots are used for rings, so ring changes do not interrupt copper ports during maintenance.

After installation, confirm in the switch software that the module is recognised and that its ports come up with the expected speed and PoE state. Keep the ports on the module in the same VLAN plan as the base ports, and document which ports are on the module, since field staff will see them numbered separately from the base. For maintenance, a module is a field replaceable unit: keep one spare per site type and check its port LEDs and counters during routine rounds.

Power the combined stack from a supply sized for the base, the module consumption listed in the datasheet and any PoE load. If the supply is undersized, the stack will not deliver its rated PoE budget, so recalculate whenever a module is added.

Typical applications in Oman and the GCC

The IEM-3300-14T2S is common in process cabinets where a PLC rack, field gateways and drives need copper and the cabinet has a pair of fiber links to a neighboring building.

In a power plant auxiliary building, it can combine cell copper ports with fiber drops to a nearby panel, which keeps the cabinet to one module.
