Huawei S6730-H48X6C is an enterprise-class switch from the CloudEngine family. It features 48 SFP+ slots (10 Gbps) and 6 QSFP28 slots (100 Gbps), and stands out with its advanced management capabilities. It offers full routing support, including BGP and BGP4+, MPLS support, and SVF, along with advanced security features. The device can function as a WAC—Wireless Access Controller—allowing it to manage access points directly, which helps reduce the number of devices used in the network. It is designed for ISP applications, as an aggregation switch in large campus networks, or as an access switch in data centers. Thanks to its rich management features and high throughput, the S6730-H48X6C can also serve as the main switch in most smaller networks.
The device features an enclosure designed for mounting in a 19" rack cabinet, and the package includes the necessary mounting accessories. Active cooling is provided by four fan modules with front-to-back airflow—air is drawn in from the port side and expelled at the rear. The package includes two PAC6000S12 power modules, which can operate redundantly—if one fails, the other takes over. The input voltage range is 100–240 V AC. The switch’s maximum power consumption is 291 W, while typical power consumption at 30% load is 165 W.

CloudEngine S6730-H Series
The offered product is a switch from the CloudEngine family, specifically the S6730-H series. It provides advanced Layer 3 management features and supports routing, including BGP and BGP4+. It allows real-time monitoring of packet loss and network performance using iPCA technology and the TWAMP protocol. The switch supports VRRP (Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol), enabling the implementation of a backup uplink connection, and can be linked to multiple other switches through various connections.
The device supports iStack—intelligent stacking technology that allows multiple switches to be combined into a single unit from a management perspective. Access to the management interface is available via the cloud or through several other methods (a full list is available in the specifications). The switch also includes numerous security features, providing protection against the most common types of attacks.
WAC Support
The S6730-H can operate as a WAC (Wireless Access Controller), allowing it to manage up to 1,000 access points. It also supports SVF as a parent switch. SVF (Super Virtual Fabric) technology enables the virtualization of a physical network, where a topology composed of core/aggregation switches, access switches, and access points can be virtualized into a single “super switch,” significantly simplifying network management. In large-scale networks, another key advantage is its advanced QoS support, including sophisticated control and queuing algorithms, which ensure high network performance and service quality.


48 SFP+ Slots, 6 QSFP28 Slots
The switch features 48 SFP+ slots with a throughput of 10 Gbps each, and 6 QSFP28 slots supporting 100 Gbps. The total switching capacity reaches an impressive 2.16 Tbps. The device is capable of handling extremely high traffic volumes while maintaining smooth network performance. The S6730-H48 is an excellent solution for environments where the core network infrastructure is based on 10 Gbps connectivity.
Two AC Power Supplies
The package includes two PAC600S12 power modules, designed for redundant operation (1+1 power backup). In the event of a failure of one power supply, the other takes over. The input voltage range is 100–240 V AC. The switch’s maximum power consumption under full load is 291 W, while typical power consumption at 30% load is 165 W.


Active Cooling, 19" Rack Enclosure
The switch comes with a 19" rack-mountable enclosure, with a height of 1U. The package includes the necessary mounting accessories. The device features four fan modules that provide active cooling during operation. Each module can be quickly replaced without disassembling the entire enclosure. The installed fans support front-to-back airflow—air is drawn in from the port side and expelled at the rear of the switch.
Application
Thanks to its advanced management capabilities and high throughput, the offered product is well-suited for a wide range of network environments. One of its primary use cases is deployment in internet service provider networks, especially in MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) infrastructures. The device also performs effectively as an aggregation switch in campus networks, where it can additionally serve as an access point controller. Another possible use case is as an access switch in various types of data centers. Regardless of the scenario, the S6730-H is a device that many administrators and users will appreciate.
