Choosing between these two used industrial networking modules comes down to form factor versus port count. The Cisco IE-3000-8TC is an Ethernet switch module carrying the IE 3000 8TC designation, while the Vevor BAYU-PJ12 is an industrial network module. Both are used, and both fit the industrial networking fieldbus space, but they point to different priorities.
Quick verdict
If you want a Cisco Ethernet switch module in the IE 3000 8TC line and can accept cosmetic wear, the Cisco is the pick. If you prefer the module with the higher port count, the Vevor makes sense.
At a glance
The two price tags sit USD 15.00 apart.
| Product | Listed price | Type | Key detail |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cisco IE-3000-8TC Industrial Ethernet Switch Module | USD 54.99 | Ethernet Switch | Used; pulled from a working environment |
| Vevor BAYU-PJ12 24-Port Industrial Ethernet Network Equipment Switch Module | USD 39.99 | Network Module | 24 ports; tested and inspected; fully functional unless noted |
How to decide
The type labels split this pair: one is switch-form, the other module-form. The price gap is USD 15.00, with the Cisco at the higher end. Both units are used, so the used-condition notes are worth weighing before you pick. The used condition matters more than it would for new gear, so go in with clear expectations about wear and included items.
Where each product wins
The Cisco IE-3000-8TC is the unit that identifies as an Ethernet Switch. Its model and mpn both read IE 3000 8TC / IE-3000-8TC, which makes it the clearer switch-form option if your fieldbus setup expects that role.
The Vevor BAYU-PJ12 brings the 24-pin connector design and the lower listed price. If connector layout matters and you want the module with the higher port count, the Vevor is the one to compare.
Product notes
#### Cisco IE-3000-8TC Industrial Ethernet Switch Module
The Cisco IE-3000-8TC is a used Ethernet switch with model and mpn designations of IE 3000 8TC and IE-3000-8TC. It comes from a working environment, so scratches, scuffs, and similar signs of use are part of the package. At USD 54.99, it's the higher listed price of the two. For a buyer who specifically wants the Cisco Ethernet switch form factor for an industrial networking fieldbus setup, this is the module to weigh. The used condition is the trade-off; the cosmetics reflect service history. If the IE 3000 8TC naming matches what your network documentation calls for, this unit lines up on the model and type. The switch role is clear even if the exterior isn't pristine, which makes it a reasonable fit when that role is the priority.
#### Vevor BAYU-PJ12 24-Port Industrial Ethernet Network Equipment Switch Module
The Vevor BAYU-PJ12 is the port-density pick: 24 ports and 24-pin connectors, model BAYU-PJ12. The module carries a tested-and-inspected note and is fully functional unless otherwise noted. At USD 39.99, it's the lower listed price of the two. The trade-off is inclusion: only what appears in the photos comes with the module, so accessories beyond the pictures shouldn't be assumed. If 24-port capacity and the tested-and-inspected status matter most, the Vevor is the choice. The 24-pin connector layout gives you a specific spec to match against your cabling. For fieldbus setups where port count is the first requirement, that's the detail that settles it.
Final choice by use case
- You want a Cisco switch-form module: Cisco IE-3000-8TC.
- You want port density: Vevor BAYU-PJ12.
If price is your tiebreaker, the Vevor sits at the lower price point.
