CISCO IE-2000-16TC-G-N Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series Switches

IE-2000-16TC-G-N exact hardware and software boundary

IE-2000-16TC-G-N is a Cisco Industrial Ethernet 2000 Series switch with 16 10/100 copper ports, two Gigabit combo uplinks and two 100-Mbps SFP ports. Cisco orders this exact PID with the Enhanced LAN Base software tier. The port media and license suffix are procurement facts, not interchangeable marketing labels.

Feature entitlement

IEEE 1588 timing is listed for this exact order profile. L2NAT status: Included. This order does not select the four-port PoE+ PTC hardware profile. This exact suffix is not the conformal-coated X or NX order.

Model-specific purchase decision

The N profile is selected when L2NAT and IEEE 1588 are required without PoE. Commissioning must preserve the translation table, timing hierarchy and active medium for each GE combo uplink; those records are more decisive than the common IE 2000 family name.

Primary dossier: Industrial-protocol proof

For this order, treat the following as the lead acceptance record rather than a generic checklist. Test only the industrial protocol roles required by the site and record the controller or endpoint used. Family-level support must not be presented as proof that a specific PROFINET or EtherNet/IP workflow is configured. Link the completed evidence to IE-2000-16TC-G-N, its serial number and the authorized purchase line.

Write a short protocol acceptance plan around the exact factory cell instead of listing every industrial feature in the family. Name the participating controller, expected discovery or cyclic communication behavior, diagnostic event and recovery condition. Preserve packet or controller evidence where appropriate, while recording untested optional functions as outside scope.

Secondary control: Receiving inspection

This is the second product-specific release control for the order. Compare the complete PID, label, serial, software tier, coating requirement and visible condition with the authorized order. Quarantine substitutions because nearby IE 2000 variants have materially different ports and entitlements. Reconcile the result with the exact port configuration and software tier stated above before handover.

Operational proof: Asset and support record

Store exact PID, serial, installation site, purchase evidence, support status and configuration owner together. This prevents a similarly named IE 2000 variant from being used during support or replacement work. Preserve the result as a dated part of this model's acceptance file rather than reusing evidence from another IE 2000 variant.

Published lifecycle

Cisco lists 26 July 2024 as the last order date, 26 July 2025 as the end of software maintenance, 26 July 2027 as the end of vulnerability and security support, and 31 July 2029 as the last support date for the affected IE 2000 products. The migration reference for this line is IE-3105-18T2C-E; validate the complete replacement design rather than assuming equivalence.
