Huawei CloudEngine S5731-H24T4XC 24GE + 4 x 10G SFP+ Layer 3 Access Switch
Overview
The Huawei CloudEngine S5731-H24T4XC is a high-performance H-series Layer 3 enterprise access and aggregation switch designed for modern campus networks, Wi-Fi 6/6E deployments, and distributed enterprise branches.
It delivers 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports and 4 x 10GE SFP+ uplinks, providing high-density wired access for office desktops, IP surveillance systems, VoIP terminals, and IoT devices such as smart sensors and access control systems.
Unlike standard S-series access switches, the H-series introduces native AC (Access Controller) capability, enabling unified management of up to 1,024 Wi-Fi access points, making it ideal for Wi-Fi 6 campus wireless convergence, smart hospitals, education campuses, and enterprise wireless office environments.
With 288 Gbps / 672 Gbps switching capacity and up to 125 Mpps forwarding performance, the device ensures stable traffic processing for high-bandwidth applications such as video surveillance backhaul, cloud-based office systems, ERP/CRM platforms, and real-time collaboration workloads.
Additionally, a modular uplink expansion slot (40GE/10GE options) allows flexible evolution from access layer to aggregation layer, supporting future-proof campus architecture design.
Highlights
1. High-Density Enterprise Access (24GE + 4 x 10GE)
24 Gigabit copper ports support office PCs, printers, IP phones, CCTV cameras, POS terminals, and IoT endpoints, while 10G uplinks eliminate aggregation bottlenecks.
2. Native AC for Wi-Fi 6 / Wi-Fi 6E Networks
Built-in AC function supports up to 1,024 wireless APs, ideal for:
-
Wi-Fi 6 campus deployment
-
Smart classrooms & digital education
-
Hospital wireless coverage
-
Enterprise full-wireless office environments
3. Modular Uplink for Future Growth
Supports expansion via uplink module:
Enables evolution from access switch aggregation node.
4. High Performance Switching Architecture
5. Advanced Layer 3 Routing
Supports enterprise routing scenarios including:
Ideal for campus core distribution, multi-building networking, and branch interconnection.
6. Enterprise Security & Zero-Trust Access
Suitable for secure office networks, government networks, and financial branch environments.
7. Intelligent Stacking (iStack)
Supports up to 9-unit logical stacking, enabling:
8. Energy-Efficient Design
Adaptive fan control reduces power consumption and noise in office, classroom, and enterprise environments.
