Description

Huawei S310-24ST4X Managed Switch

The Huawei S310-24ST4X is a high-performance managed switch designed for business networks, campus networks, enterprise connectivity and fiber-based network deployments. It provides a flexible combination of Gigabit SFP connectivity, dual-purpose copper/SFP interfaces and 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks, making it suitable for networks that require extensive fiber connectivity and high-speed aggregation.

The Huawei S310-24ST4X provides 24 Gigabit Ethernet SFP ports, including 8 dual-purpose ports that can operate as 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet or SFP interfaces. This flexible port design allows network administrators to connect fiber-based devices as well as conventional copper Ethernet equipment according to the requirements of each deployment. The switch also provides 4 × 10GE SFP+ ports for high-speed uplinks and network aggregation.

With 128 Gbps switching capacity and packet forwarding performance of up to 96 Mpps, the Huawei S310-24ST4X is designed to handle demanding network traffic efficiently. Its combination of Gigabit SFP access interfaces and 10 Gigabit SFP+ uplinks makes it particularly useful for connecting switches, servers, wireless infrastructure, network aggregation equipment and other high-bandwidth devices.

Fiber Connectivity and Flexible Port Options

One of the key advantages of the Huawei S310-24ST4X is its high density of Gigabit SFP interfaces. The switch provides 24 GE SFP ports, giving network operators flexibility when deploying single-mode or multimode fiber connections using compatible SFP transceivers.

Eight of the Gigabit ports are dual-purpose interfaces. These ports can operate either as 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet ports or as SFP interfaces, allowing the same physical ports to support copper or fiber connectivity depending on the deployment. This makes the Huawei S310-24ST4X useful for networks where connection requirements may vary between locations.

The 4 × 10GE SFP+ ports provide high-speed uplink connectivity for connecting the switch to core switches, aggregation switches, servers and other network infrastructure. These uplinks can help reduce bottlenecks when large volumes of traffic are transported between access and aggregation layers.

Managed Network Performance

The Huawei S310-24ST4X is a managed switch designed for controlled and structured network deployments. Network administrators can configure and monitor the switch as part of an enterprise network infrastructure, providing greater control over connectivity, traffic management and network operations compared with an unmanaged switch.

The S310 series supports a range of enterprise network functions and management capabilities. The Huawei S310-24ST4X is therefore suitable for organizations that need a managed switching platform for structured business, campus and fiber network environments.

High-Speed 10 Gigabit Uplinks

Modern networks increasingly require higher-speed connections between access switches and the network core. The Huawei S310-24ST4X addresses this requirement with four 10GE SFP+ interfaces.

The 10GE SFP+ ports can be used for high-speed connections to aggregation switches, core network equipment, servers and other compatible infrastructure. This provides additional capacity for environments with increasing data traffic from cloud applications, wireless access points, IP surveillance systems, servers and business applications.

Business and Enterprise Applications

The Huawei S310-24ST4X can be deployed in a variety of network environments. Its fiber-focused port configuration makes it suitable for applications where long-distance or fiber-based connectivity is required.

Typical applications include enterprise fiber networks, campus networks, building-to-building connectivity, network aggregation, server connectivity, ISP and telecommunications infrastructure, and business network deployments.

It can also be used as part of a structured network architecture where multiple access switches connect through high-speed 10GE uplinks to an aggregation or core layer.

Rack-Mountable 1U Design

The Huawei S310-24ST4X uses a compact 1U chassis design suitable for standard network racks. Huawei specifies dimensions of approximately 43.6 mm × 442 mm × 220 mm, making it suitable for professional server rooms, telecommunications racks, network cabinets and enterprise infrastructure environments.

The switch uses a built-in AC power module and is designed for continuous operation in professional networking environments. Huawei specifies an operating temperature range of -5°C to +50°C for the S310-24ST4X.
