Huawei CE5850-48T4S2Q-HI 48-Port GE, 4x10GE and 2x40GE Switch

CE5850-48T4S2Q-HI adds two 40GE interfaces

CE5850-48T4S2Q-HI combines 48 GE BASE-T access ports, four 10GE SFP+ interfaces and two 40GE QSFP+ interfaces. Huawei documents a 1U 442 x 420 x 43.6 mm chassis, 8.8 kg fully loaded and maximum consumption of 131 W.

Fabric capacity is the key distinction

The two 40GE ports distinguish this HI model from CE5810 hardware and can be used for higher-capacity uplinks or stacking. Reserve uplink, peer and stack roles before selecting optics; breakout or port-mode support must be verified against the target VRP release and media.

Ordering rows have different inclusions

The exact CE5850-48T4S2Q-HI mainframe row excludes fan and power modules. The separate CE5850-HI-B00 order includes two 150 W AC power modules, two fan boxes and port-side exhaust. A listing that names only the chassis model must not be represented as that populated AC bundle.

Receiving controls

Verify the complete order code, fan direction, power type and quantity, QSFP+/SFP+ optics and software compatibility. Keep airflow consistent across installed modules and test the 10GE and 40GE paths required by the fabric design.
