WARNING
The Quidway S5300 Ethernet switches are class A products. Customers should take preventative
measures as the operating devices may cause radio interference.
The Quidway S5300 switch (S5300 for short) is a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) access
device that provides access and data transport functions. The S5300 is developed by Huawei to
meet the requirements for reliable access, aggregation, and high-quality transmission of multiple
services on the MAN . The S5300 functions as the access device or aggregation device of the
MAN. The S5300 provides large capacity, high port density, and cost-effective packet
forwarding capabilities. The S5300 also provides multi-service access capabilities, excellent
extensibility, quality of service (QoS) guarantee, powerful multicast replication, and carrier-
class security, and can be used to build high-reliability ring topologies.
1.1.2 Product Characteristics
Energy-Saving Design
The S5300 saves energy in the following ways:
l It uses low noise fans that adjust their speed automatically, reducing system noise and fan
power consumption.
l The interface chip switches to the power saving mode when an interface is idle, which
means that no peer device is connected to the interface.
l It uses advanced highly-integrated and energy-saving chips. With the help of the intelligent
device management system, the chips improve system performance and also reduce system
power consumption.
Advanced Surge Protection Technique
The S5300 uses the Huawei patented built-in surge protection technique. This technique protects
devices against lightning in terrible weather and increases device security.
Convenient PoE Power Supply
The S5300 has the Power over Ethernet (PoE) function. It provides centralized power supply
for IP phones, wireless access points (APs), portable device chargers, POS machines, cameras,
and data collectors by using twisted pairs.
