Huawei 5300 Optical Switch

The Huawei S5300 series supports 10/100/1000Base-X combo ports, 10GE SFP+ ports, and dedicated optical interface cards such as E2XX-2-Port 10GE XFP and E2XY-2-Port 10GE SFP+ modules.

Optical Interface Options

The S5300 series switches offer multiple optical interface configurations depending on the model and chassis type. Key options include:

• 1000Base-X Combo Ports: Many S5300 models feature four 1000Base-X combo ports that can operate as either copper or fiber connections, providing flexibility for uplinks or aggregation ( ).
• 10GE SFP+ Ports: Certain models, such as the S5328C-EI-24S, support two or four 10GE SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks, suitable for connecting to core switches or data center networks ( ).
• Dedicated Optical Interface Cards:
  • E2XX-2-Port 10GE XFP Card: Provides two 10GE XFP optical ports, supporting high-speed fiber connections for aggregation or backbone links ( ).
  • E2XY-2-Port 10GE SFP+ Card: Offers two 10GE SFP+ ports, compatible with a wide range of SFP+ modules for flexible deployment ( ).

Supported Optical Modules

The S5300 series is compatible with various SFP and SFP+ modules, including:

• SFP Modules (FE/GE): For 1000 Mbps fiber connections, supporting single-mode and multi-mode fibers ( ).
• SFP+ Modules: For 10 Gbps connections, supporting both short-range (SR) and long-range (LR) fiber types ( ).

Technical Considerations

• Port Attributes: Optical ports support standard IEEE 802.3 specifications, including 802.3af/at PoE on certain models, ensuring compatibility with powered devices ( ).
• High-Density Uplinks: The S5300 series provides high-density uplink options with 10GE SFP+ ports, enabling aggregation of multiple access switches or connection to data center networks ( ).
• Flexibility: Combo ports allow users to choose between copper and fiber interfaces without additional hardware, simplifying network design ( ).

Summary

Huawei S5300 switches provide versatile optical connectivity through combo ports, SFP/SFP+ ports, and dedicated optical interface cards, supporting both 1G and 10G fiber links. This flexibility allows deployment in campus networks, aggregation layers, or data center uplinks, with support for a wide range of optical modules and high-speed uplinks ( ).
