Huawei CloudEngine S5731-L Series Remote Unit Switches

Abstract

Huawei CloudEngine S5731-L series remote unit switches (hereinafter referred to as CloudEngine S5731-L RUs) support an innovative simplified architecture and can be used as the extended ports of other CloudEngine S-series switches, extending the reach of switch ports, saving cabling costs, and reducing workload. Plus, CloudEngine S5731-L RUs are management-free, greatly simplifying the routine management on campus networks.

CloudEngine S5731-L RUs provide all-gigabit data access and support the innovative optical-electrical Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. They can draw 300m PoE++ or 1.2km PoE from the central switch. With these characteristics, CloudEngine S5731-L RUs can be used in a wide range of scenarios, including offices, education institutions, hotels, and healthcare facilities, helping enterprises construct green and low-carbon buildings.

Huawei commissioned Tolly engineers to test CloudEngine S5731-L RUs. The test results show that they stand out in management, deployment, energy efficiency, and power supply.
