S5700-S Series Switches Overview
The S series fixed Ethernet switches integrate the access and transmission functions to provide reliable access/aggregation and high-quality transmission of services on enterprise networks. The switches are built on an integrated hardware platform, and their hardware system consists of the chassis, power module, fan module, extended cards, and Switch Control Unit (SCU).
The Huawei S5736-S24U4XC is a Huawei S5736 series enterprise-grade full 10 Gigabit precision switch. Its core advantage is "zero-bottleneck precise networking for medium and large branch/edge scenarios"—24 Gigabit Ethernet ports match the density of branch terminals without waste, 4 100G/40G optical ports support ultra-high-speed uplink to the core layer, and a single device can cover 1500-5000 terminals; total switching capacity ≥1.2Tbps, forwarding performance up to 360Mpps, and supports stacking expansion of up to 8 units; built-in hardware-level flow control, dual power supply redundancy design, and an annual failure rate of <0.06%, making it the core choice for medium and large enterprises' branch core layer and data center edge access layer to "balance bandwidth and cost and ensure high-speed service continuity".
S5736-S24U4XC FAQ
Q1: What are the core differences between this switch and the S5736-S24S4XC in the same series?
A1: Both support 4 100G optical ports. The former is a full 10G precision model (30% higher forwarding performance, suitable for high-concurrency branch scenarios), while the latter is a standard 100G model. Choose the former for high-concurrency branches and edge access with high performance requirements, and choose the latter for ordinary branch scenarios.
Q2: Are the 100G optical ports compatible with existing 40G/10G optical modules?
A2: Fully compatible, supporting 100G/40G/10G rate adaptive switching. Existing optical modules can be directly reused without additional procurement, reducing branch upgrade costs.
Q3: Can this switch support branch expansion needs of over 5000 terminals?
A3: Yes, it can support up to 15000+ terminal access through stacking 8 units. Sufficient redundancy is reserved for 100G uplink bandwidth to meet future business growth in ultra-large branches.

Long-term operating temperature [°C(°F)]
-5°C to +45°C (23°F to 113°F) at an altitude of 0-1800 m (0-5906 ft.)
Short-term operating temperature [°C(°F)]
-5°C to +50°C (23°F to 122°F) at an altitude of 0-1800 m (0-5906 ft.)
Restriction on the operating temperature variation rate [°C(°F)]
When the altitude is 1800–5000 m (5906–16404 ft.), the highest operating temperature reduces by 1°C (1.8°F) every time the altitude increases by 220 m (722 ft.).
The device can work for a short period of time when the operating temperature is beyond the normal range, but the following conditions must be met:
The operating temperature exceeds 45°C (113°F) for a maximum of 96 consecutive hours in a year.
The total time when the operating temperature exceeds 45°C (113°F) in a year is less than or equal to 360 hours.
The number of times the operating temperature exceeds 45°C (113°F) is less than or equal to 15 in one year.
If any of the preceding conditions is not met, the device may be damaged or an unknown error may occur.
Devices cannot start when the temperature is lower than 0°C (32°F). The maximum transmission distance of an optical module used for short-term operation cannot exceed 10 km.
