The Huawei S5720S-28X-PWR-LI-AC is a 1U managed Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ switch designed for enterprise access networks, campus networks, branch offices, IP surveillance, and wireless deployments. It provides 24 × 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE ports together with 4 × 10GE SFP+ uplink ports, delivering high-speed uplinks and Power over Ethernet in a compact enterprise platform. Huawei identifies the model as part of the S5720S-LI campus-switch family.
Description
The Huawei S5720S-28X-PWR-LI-AC is an enterprise-class access switch designed for organizations requiring reliable Gigabit connectivity, PoE support, and high-bandwidth 10 Gigabit uplinks.
The switch provides 24 × 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports with PoE+, allowing connected devices such as wireless access points, IP phones, surveillance cameras, and other powered network equipment to receive both data and electrical power through a single Ethernet connection.
For uplink and aggregation connectivity, the S5720S-28X-PWR-LI-AC provides 4 × 10GE SFP+ ports. These ports allow the switch to connect to higher-speed aggregation or core infrastructure and provide significantly greater uplink bandwidth than conventional Gigabit interfaces.
The switch operates in a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis. Huawei’s documentation lists dimensions of approximately 442 × 310 × 43.6 mm, making it suitable for standard network cabinets and telecommunications racks.
The S5720S-LI family provides enterprise switching capabilities including VLANs, QoS, link aggregation, spanning-tree protocols, security controls, and Layer 3 functionality. These features allow the switch to provide traffic segmentation, redundancy, access control, and optimized handling of voice, video, and business-critical traffic.
The platform also supports stacking, allowing compatible switches to be combined into a logical switching system for simplified management and increased network scalability. The S5720S-28X-PWR-LI-AC is identified by Huawei as an Enterprise Network → Switch → Campus Switch product.
