Description

The Huawei CE6850-48T4Q-EI-F is a high-performance 1U fixed data center switch from the CloudEngine 6800 Series, designed for enterprise data centers, cloud environments, and high-density server aggregation layers.

This model provides 48 × 10GBASE-T RJ45 ports and 4 × 40GE QSFP+ uplink ports, enabling flexible server connectivity and high-bandwidth aggregation for modern leaf/spine network architectures.

The switch is optimized for low-latency and high-throughput workloads, making it suitable for data center access and aggregation layers, virtualization environments, and enterprise core deployments.

It supports advanced data center technologies including VXLAN, EVPN, TRILL, and FCoE (Fibre Channel over Ethernet), enabling unified transport of storage, data, and compute traffic over a converged Ethernet infrastructure.

The “-F” variant indicates a port-side exhaust airflow design, making it suitable for rack environments requiring hot-aisle/cold-aisle airflow alignment.

The platform includes redundant power and fan modules, ensuring carrier-grade reliability and continuous uptime in mission-critical environments.

Key Features:

• 48 × 10GBASE-T RJ45 high-density access ports
• 4 × 40GE QSFP+ uplink ports
• Port-side exhaust airflow design (-F variant)
• Supports FCoE convergence (storage + data network)
• VXLAN, EVPN, and TRILL virtualization support
• High-performance Layer 2 / Layer 3 switching
• Designed for leaf/spine and aggregation roles
• Redundant power and fan architecture for high availability
