Huawei s latest switch with direct fiber optic connection

Huawei offers several high-performance switches with direct fiber optic connectivity, including the S9300, S5720, and CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 series, supporting SFP/SFP+ ports for scalable, low-latency networks.

Huawei S9300 Series

The S9300 series is a high-end terabit routing switch designed for multiservice networks, data centers, and WAN/MAN environments. It supports direct fiber connections via SFP+ optical modules, enabling high-speed inter-switch links and long-distance connectivity. The series includes models S9303, S9306, and S9312, all featuring interchangeable modules, hot-swappable components, and stacking capabilities through SFP+ stack cables or optical fibers. The S9300 supports advanced Layer 2/3 features, virtualization, and route hot backup for uninterrupted data forwarding, making it suitable for scalable, high-performance networks .

Huawei S5720 Series

The S5720-32X-EI-24S-AC is a Gigabit switch with 24 1,000 Base-X SFP ports and four 10G SFP+ ports, designed for enterprise campus and data center access. It supports Super Virtual Fabric (SVF), iStack clustering, and N+1 backup mode for high availability. The switch allows direct fiber connections using SFP/SFP+ modules, providing reliable, low-latency links for aggregation or access layers. It also supports IPv6 migration and advanced routing features, making it a versatile option for fiber-based networks .

Huawei CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 Series

The CloudEngine S5735-S-V2 series is a hybrid optical-electrical switch optimized for enterprise campus access, aggregation, and data center scenarios. It supports direct fiber connections through SFP/SFP+ ports and offers enhanced Layer 3 features, flexible Ethernet networking, and mature IPv6 support. The series includes dual pluggable power modules for redundancy and PoE++ support, ensuring uninterrupted operation for connected devices. Real-time telemetry and integration with Huawei's iMaster NCE-CampusInsight enable intelligent network management and fault detection .

Fiber Connectivity Options

Huawei switches support active optical cables (AOCs) and fiber jumpers for direct fiber connections. AOCs are fixed-length optical fibers with modules at both ends, suitable for short-distance connections, while fiber jumpers connect optical modules to fiber terminal boxes. The choice of single-mode or multimode fiber depends on the optical module type, and MPO or DLC connectors are used for high-density connections .
