H3C PoE Switches
Overview
High-power PoE, multi-gigabit access, and enterprise-grade reliability for campuses, enterprise offices, SMB networks, and IoT-dense environments.
H3C extends Power over Ethernet from standard PoE and PoE+ to high-power UPoE/HPoE implementations, combined with multi-gigabit access and flexible fiber or copper uplinks. This allows a single H3C PoE switch to power Wi-Fi 6/6E access points, IP cameras, access control systems, VoIP phones, and smart IoT terminals-while maintaining stable, wire-speed data forwarding across campus and aggregation layers.
Complete Power Spectrum
| IEEE & H3C PoE Type | Max per Port | Typical Endpoints |
|---|---|---|
| PoE (802.3af) | 15.4 W | VoIP phones, access readers |
| PoE+ (802.3at) | 30 W | Wi-Fi 5/6 APs, fixed IP cameras |
| HPoE / UPoE | 60-90 W | Wi-Fi 6E APs, PTZ cameras, high-power IoT devices |
Intelligent power budgeting and port-level allocation ensure stable power delivery under full load, while protecting connected devices and maintaining service continuity during maintenance or system upgrades.
Multi-Gigabit Access & High-Speed Uplinks
Multi-gigabit access ports on selected H3C models remove bandwidth bottlenecks at the edge, supporting high-density wireless and data-intensive applications.
Flexible uplink options-including 10G SFP+, 25G SFP28, and high-density fiber interfaces-allow seamless integration from access to aggregation layers.
High-performance switching fabrics and enterprise ASICs ensure line-rate forwarding and low latency, even when PoE ports operate at maximum power capacity.
Intelligent Reliability & Security
IRF intelligent resiliency technology enables multiple switches to operate as one logical device, simplifying management and delivering fast failover.
Built-in control-plane protection and security mechanisms defend against broadcast storms, scanning attacks, and abnormal traffic without impacting user services.
Advanced Layer-2 and Layer-3 features support campus segmentation, traffic optimization, and scalable enterprise network architectures.
