Brand: HUAWEI
SKU: CE6850-48T6Q-HI

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6850-48T6Q-HI is a high-performance, high-density 10GE Top-of-Rack (ToR) data center switch designed for enterprise data centers and high-end campus networks . As part of the CloudEngine 6800 series, this model features 48 x 10GE Base-T RJ45 access ports and 6 x 40GE QSFP+ uplink ports, delivering a switching capacity of 1.44 Tbit/s and a forwarding rate of 1,080 Mpps .

The “HI” (High-performance) variant supports advanced data center features including VXLAN, BGP-EVPN, MPLS, and FCoE, enabling network virtualization, cloud-ready spine-leaf architectures, and network convergence for storage and data traffic . Built on Huawei’s VRP8 software platform, the switch supports iStack stacking, M-LAG for multi-homing redundancy, and flexible airflow designs (front-to-back or back-to-front) to accommodate diverse data center cooling requirements . With a 1U form factor, 600 mm depth, and modular power and fan designs, the CE6850-48T6Q-HI provides scalable, low-latency connectivity for virtualization, cloud computing, and high-density server environments .
