PORT DENSITY, PART NUMBER AND QSFP28 BOUNDARIES
Huawei S6730-H24X6C and S6730-H48X6C Selection Guide
Compare Huawei CloudEngine S6730-H24X6C and S6730-H48X6C switches by 10GE access density, QSFP28 uplink behavior, exact part-number checks and deployment boundaries.
H24X6C and H48X6C are different access-density records
The model code distinguishes 24-port and 48-port 10GE access configurations. Both records use six QSFP28 interfaces, but the usable rate depends on the exact part number, factory software and configuration. Preserve the complete model and ordering code when selecting optics and software.
Exact model comparison
| Model | 10GE access density | QSFP28 boundary | Ordering evidence | Deployment boundary |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| S6730-H24X6C | 24-port 10GE access configuration | 6 QSFP28 interfaces; default 40GE or 100GE behavior depends on the exact part number and factory software version | Huawei documentation identifies ordering variants including 02352FSG and 02353GFC | Confirm the exact part number and whether assign port-type 100ge is required or applicable before specifying 100GE operation |
| S6730-H48X6C | 48-port 10GE access configuration | 6 QSFP28 interfaces with rate behavior governed by the exact hardware and software configuration | Higher access-port-density record in the S6730-H family | Do not copy the H24X6C part-number or factory software assumptions; validate exact PID, QSFP28 mode and software release |
Design and quote checks
- Match the complete S6730-H model and Huawei part number to the approved port-density design.
- Confirm the factory software version and intended QSFP28 interface rate before ordering optics.
- Validate transceivers, breakout cables, peer interfaces and distance requirements against current Huawei compatibility data.
- Confirm software features, licenses, power, airflow, rack accessories, support and regional ordering constraints.
- Verify lifecycle and replacement guidance against the current Huawei documentation and quote.
