Huawei Enterprise Switches
Huawei's enterprise switching line competes directly with Cisco and Juniper on port density and uplink throughput, usually at a sharper price — which is exactly why data centres and ISPs building out core network capacity keep it on the shortlist. Arnav Infosystem currently stocks two real Huawei enterprise switches: the S5735S-L8T4X-QA3, an 8-port Layer 3 managed switch with 4×10G SFP+ uplinks suited to access/aggregation roles, and the CE6851-48S6Q-HI, a high-density 48×10G SFP+ and 6×40G QSFP switch built for core network deployment. Both are genuine, GST-invoiced stock — not sourced-to-order listings — so this page reflects what's actually available to ship. Between the two, most networks end up buying both at different tiers: the CE6851 as the core switch and one or more S5735S units feeding into it from the access/aggregation layer — a common two-tier design for anyone scaling past a single flat switch fabric.
Features
What these two Huawei switches are actually built for — the practical differences that decide which one fits your network, not just a spec-sheet comparison:
- Layer 3 managed switching
- Static and dynamic routing support on top of standard Layer 2 switching, for segmented, routed network designs.
- High-density 10G/40G uplinks
- The CE6851's 48×10G SFP+ plus 6×40G QSFP is built for core-layer throughput most access switches can't match.
- Core & aggregation-layer roles
- The S5735S's 4×10G uplinks suit an aggregation switch feeding into a higher-capacity core like the CE6851.
- VLAN, QoS & access control
- Enterprise segmentation and traffic-prioritization features standard on Huawei's managed switch line.
- Competitive port-density pricing
- Huawei enterprise switches typically undercut equivalent Cisco/Juniper port-density-and-throughput configurations.
- Standards-based interoperability
- Both switches speak standard networking protocols, so they drop into an existing mixed-vendor network without forcing a full rip-and-replace.
Why Buy From Arnav Infosystem
Both switches on this page are real, in-stock hardware — the S5735S-L8T4X-QA3 and the CE6851-48S6Q-HI — genuine, GST-invoiced, and ready to ship, not a sourcing promise. Our team can help you decide which one fits your network tier: the S5735S for an 8-port access/aggregation role, or the CE6851 if you need serious core-layer 10G/40G capacity. Compatible SFP+ modules and DAC cables ship alongside either switch. If you're replacing an aging core switch under budget pressure, the CE6851's 48×10G plus 6×40G port count is usually enough headroom to skip a second refresh cycle for several years, rather than buying just enough capacity for today's load and having to revisit the decision in eighteen months. We'll also flag honestly if Huawei isn't the right call for your situation — some procurement policies restrict specific vendors, and if that applies to you, better to know before you've built a design around a switch you can't actually purchase through your process.
Industries That Buy This
Huawei enterprise switches are a common core-network choice across a specific set of buyers who care more about port-density-per-rupee than brand name alone:
- Data centres: Core-layer 10G/40G switching where the CE6851's port density matters most.
- ISPs: Aggregation and core switching feeding subscriber-facing edge equipment.
- Large enterprise campuses: Multi-building networks needing high-throughput backbone switching.
- IT integrators: Network refresh projects where port-density-per-rupee is the deciding factor.
- Colocation providers: High-density switching for shared data-centre tenant environments.
- Cloud/hosting providers: Core switching capacity for growing server racks without an early second refresh.
- System integrators & VARs: Value-added resellers bundling Huawei switches into a wider network design and support contract for their own clients.
Huawei Switches in Stock
Both real Huawei switches, plus compatible cabling, currently in stock — not a broader catalog padded out with unrelated items, and not a listing we'll quietly swap for something else once you've committed to a design around a specific model:
FAQ
What's the difference between the two Huawei switches you stock?
The S5735S-L8T4X-QA3 is an 8-port switch with 4×10G SFP+ uplinks for access/aggregation. The CE6851-48S6Q-HI is a high-density 48×10G/6×40G switch for core deployment.
Are these switches genuinely in stock, not sourced to order?
Yes, both are real, currently-stocked hardware, GST-invoiced and ready to ship.
Are they compatible with SFP+ optics from other vendors?
Generally yes for standard SFP+/QSFP optics — confirm your exact transceiver model with us if you're unsure.
Can I get bulk pricing for multiple switches?
Yes — use the Bulk Quote option with your quantity for a consolidated price.
What's the typical lead time for delivery?
Since both are genuinely in stock right now, delivery is fast — contact us to confirm current timing and shipping cost for your exact location.
Can you help design a two-tier core/aggregation network around these switches?
Yes — our team can help plan a CE6851-core, S5735S-aggregation design if you're scaling beyond a single flat switch fabric.
