Huawei Network Equipment Huawei Cloudengine S5736 S24s4xc
Product Overview
The CloudEngine S5736-S24S4XC features 24×GE SFP + 4×10GE SFP+ + 1 expansion slot (up to 2×25GE/8×10GE/4×40GE), 1+1 redundant hot‑swappable power, RTU online port speed upgrade, SVF virtualization, and iPCA real‑time quality detection – delivering high‑density all‑optical access in a 1U compact design.
Key Differentiators (Bulleted for Buyer Focus)
High‑Density All‑Optical Ports + Expansion – 24×GE SFP + 4×10GE SFP+ + 1 expansion slot (2×25GE/8×10GE/4×40GE) – protects investment as network grows.
1+1 Redundant Hot‑Swappable Power – AC/DC optional, zero‑downtime power maintenance, ideal for mission‑critical campus access.
RTU Online Port Speed Upgrade – Upgrade port bandwidth via software license, no hardware swap – reduces upfront CAPEX.
SVF (Super Virtual Fabric) – Virtualize downstream switches into a single logical device, slashing O&M complexity by >50%.
iPCA Real‑Time Quality Detection – Hardware‑based per‑flow packet loss measurement, pinpoint faults without external probes.
Full Layer 3 & IPv6 Ready – OSPF, BGP, RIP, static routing, IPv4/IPv6 dual stack – smooth migration to next‑gen networks.
1U Compact Rackmount – Space‑efficient, intelligent air cooling for 7×24 stable operation.
