Huawei S5700-28C-PWR-EI – Product Documentation

Name: Huawei S5700-28C-PWR-EI Switch - SunSpike
SKU: S5700-28C-PWR-EI

Product Overview

The Huawei S5700-28C-PWR-EI is a high-performance enterprise Layer 3 Gigabit Ethernet switch designed for medium to large-scale network access and aggregation scenarios. It belongs to the S5700 series and delivers robust data switching and routing capabilities with a 256 Gbps switching capacity and a forwarding rate of 96 Mpps.

The switch features 24 PoE+ 10/100/1000BASE-T ports that can supply up to 30W of power per port to connected Powered Devices (PDs) such as IP phones, wireless access points, and security cameras, eliminating the need for additional power infrastructure. With a total PoE power budget of 370W, it provides centralized power management for simplified deployment.

Equipped with two flexible expansion slots (one front card slot and one rear card slot), the S5700-28C-PWR-EI supports various subcards including 2×10GE SFP+, 4×GE SFP, and 4×10GE SFP+ cards for future-ready uplink connectivity. The rear card slot also supports stacking cards for intelligent stack deployment.

The switch features dual power module slots supporting 500W or 250W PoE power modules (hot-swappable), with AC 100-240V input. It incorporates advanced Layer 3 routing protocols including static routing, RIP, and MPLS/VLL. Comprehensive security features include DHCP Snooping, 802.1x authentication, and multi-level attack protection. The device also supports IPv4/IPv6 dual stack and intelligent stacking technology.

With dimensions of 442.0 × 420.0 × 43.6 mm (1.72″ × 17.4″ × 16.5″) and a weight of 5.4 kg, the switch is designed for standard 19-inch rack mounting.
