Name: Huawei CloudEngine CE6820H-48S6CQ-K - Refurbished & Tested - SunSpike
Brand: HUAWEI
SKU: CE6820H-48S6CQ-K

Product Overview

The Huawei CloudEngine CE6820H-48S6CQ-K is a next-generation, high-performance 10GE access switch purpose-built for modern data center and high-end campus network environments . As part of the CloudEngine 6800 series, this 1RU switch delivers high port density and advanced features to support the demanding requirements of cloud computing and virtualized data centers .

The switch provides 48 x 10GE SFP+ downlink ports and 6 x 40/100GE QSFP28 uplink ports, offering flexible connectivity options for high-bandwidth applications . Its advanced hardware architecture supports strict front-to-back or back-to-front airflow designs, which isolate cold and hot air channels to improve heat dissipation efficiency—making it well-suited for data center equipment rooms .

With support for M-LAG (Multi-Chassis Link Aggregation Group), the CE6820H-48S6CQ-K enables active-active redundancy across switches, ensuring seamless failover and uninterrupted service during network disruptions . The switch is also SDN-ready, supporting OpenFlow 1.3, NETCONF, VXLAN, and EVPN, allowing for automated network provisioning and simplified management through integration with OpenStack, VMware, and Huawei Agile Controller .

The CE6820H-48S6CQ-K is designed with enterprise-grade reliability in mind, featuring redundant, hot-swappable power modules and fan modules with 1+1 power redundancy and 3+1 fan redundancy . It can work in conjunction with CE16800 or CE12800 series core switches to build elastic, virtualized, and high-quality 40GE/100GE full-mesh networks .
