Huawei eKit S310-48P4X — Enterprise 10G PoE+ Switch for SMB and Business Networks

Huawei S310-48P4X is a 48-port Gigabit PoE+ switch with 10G uplinks, designed for access layer deployments in medium and large enterprises with a high number of connected devices. It is used in infrastructures where IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones must be powered and managed from a single access device, with traffic aggregated toward the core through 10G SFP+ ports. The 380W PoE budget supports simultaneous powering of a large number of endpoints without external power supplies.

The switch delivers a switching capacity of 176 Gbps and a forwarding rate of 130.9 Mpps, with a typical power consumption of 49.44W rising to 462.8W under full PoE load. Cooling is handled by two intelligent fans with automatic speed adjustment. With 2 GB RAM and 1 GB Flash supporting advanced switching functions, surge protection at ±7 kV on service ports ensures resilience in environments with voltage fluctuations.

The S310-48P4X supports VLAN, QoS, ACL, and SNMP, covering the security, segmentation, and monitoring requirements of high-density enterprise networks. It integrates into centrally managed Huawei infrastructures and accepts both AC and high-voltage DC input (190–290V DC), useful in environments with DC UPS or industrial power sources. The RJ45 console port enables local configuration without network access.

Recommended for multi-floor office buildings, university campuses, hotels, and video surveillance infrastructures where high PoE device density on a single switch reduces the number of units required in the rack. The 227 mm depth and 1U form factor ensure compatibility with standard racks, while the 176 Gbps switching capacity provides sufficient headroom for future network expansion.
