Huawei S5720S-12TP-PWR-LI-AC Gigabit PoE Access Switch

Description

The Huawei S5720S-12TP-PWR-LI-AC is a compact Gigabit Ethernet access switch from the Huawei S5720S-LI series, designed for small enterprise and campus access-layer deployments requiring PoE-powered connectivity in a low-port-density form factor.

It provides 8 × 10/100/1000BASE-T PoE+ ports, along with uplink combo ports (GE/SFP hybrid) that allow flexible optical or electrical uplink connections to aggregation or core switches. This makes it suitable for connecting and powering edge devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras.

The switch is deployed primarily in the access layer of enterprise networks, especially in small offices, branch environments, education networks, and CCTV deployments where a compact PoE switch is required.

It supports standard enterprise switching capabilities including:

• VLAN segmentation
• QoS traffic prioritization
• IPv4/IPv6 basic routing (software dependent)
• ACL-based security policies

From a hardware perspective:

• Built-in AC power supply (non-modular design)
• Fanless design with natural heat dissipation, enabling silent operation in office environments
• Lightweight, compact 1U chassis suitable for small installations
• Standard management via CLI, SNMP, and Web UI

The integrated PoE power system (up to ~124W budget depending on configuration) enables simultaneous powering of multiple endpoint devices without external adapters, simplifying deployment and cabling.

Overall, the S5720S-12TP-PWR-LI-AC is designed for small-scale enterprise access networks and CCTV/IP telephony deployments where space efficiency and PoE support are critical.
