Switch Huawei S310-48P4S Gigabit Ethernet PoE 48 Ports 1U

The Huawei S310-48P4S Gigabit Ethernet PoE 48 Ports 1U is a rack-mountable network switch designed for small to medium-sized wired networks. It provides 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports for high-speed LAN connectivity and four SFP slots for fiber uplinks or extended reach. The device supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), enabling power delivery to compatible endpoints over standard Ethernet cabling. A front RJ-45 console port facilitates local management and initial configuration.

Advantages

The switch combines a high port count with Gigabit performance and PoE capability, reducing the need for separate power supplies for devices such as access points, VoIP phones and IP cameras. Four SFP slots offer flexible uplink options to aggregation switches or fiber networks. The 1U rack form factor and grey chassis support standard mounting in server racks and network cabinets while conserving rack space.

Suitable for

• Office LAN deployments with multiple wired workstations
• IP surveillance systems requiring power and Gigabit links to cameras
• Wireless access point backhaul and PoE-powered AP installations
• Branch office aggregation and fiber uplink to core network

Key specifications

• 48 Gigabit Ethernet ports (10/100/1000 Mbps) for copper connections
• 4 SFP slots for fiber or fiber-capable modules
• PoE support to supply power over Ethernet cabling to connected devices
• 1U rack-mount form factor for standard server racks and cabinets
• Grey metal chassis suitable for equipment rooms and cabinets
• Console RJ-45 port for local management and configuration
• Support for 10G uplinks (via appropriate SFP/SFP+ modules where applicable)

How to use

Install the Huawei S310-48P4S into a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting brackets or shelf. Connect copper Ethernet devices to the RJ-45 ports and insert SFP modules into the SFP slots for fiber uplinks as needed. Enable and configure PoE through the device management interface to provide power to compatible devices. Use the console RJ-45 port for initial setup, firmware updates and troubleshooting with a terminal or management workstation.

Usage recommendations

For stable operation, mount the switch in a ventilated rack or cabinet, ensure adequate airflow around the chassis, and use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cabling for Gigabit connections. When powering multiple PoE devices, verify the total available PoE budget and distribute powered devices accordingly to avoid exceeding the switch's power capacity. Use appropriate SFP modules that match your fiber type and distance requirements for reliable uplink performance.
