Technical Knowledge: What Should You Know Before Buying?

• What is an SFP port?

SFP stands for Small Form-factor Pluggable. It is a network interface that accepts a compatible transceiver, allowing a switch to connect through fibre-optic cable or supported copper-based SFP modules.

Fibre connections are especially useful when devices are apart or when a network requires a fibre infrastructure.

• What is an SFP+ port?

SFP+ is a higher-speed interface commonly used for 10 Gigabit Ethernet. The four SFP+ ports on this switch can provide up to 10 Gbps per link depending on the installed module, cable and connected equipment.

• What are combo ports?

Combo ports provide two connection types for the same logical interface: RJ45 Ethernet and SFP. On the S310-24ST4X, eight ports support this arrangement. The two alternatives on a combo port are not intended to operate as two full-capacity ports simultaneously.

• What does 128 Gbps switching capacity mean?

Switching capacity describes the traffic-handling capability of the switch. A capacity of 128 Gbps helps the switch move data between interfaces efficiently when operating within its supported specifications.

• What does 96 Mpps mean?

Mpps means million packets per second. The 96 Mpps specification describes the switch’s packet-forwarding capability. Helps indicate its ability to process network traffic.

• Does this switch support PoE?

The Huawei S310-24ST4X is not a PoE switch model. It should not be purchased when you need the switch itself to supply power directly to IP cameras, wireless access points or IP phones. For those requirements, choose a PoE switch or use separate compatible power injectors.

• What accessories may be required?

Depending on your network design, you may need Gigabit SFP transceivers, 10GE SFP+ transceivers, fibre-optic patch cables or supported direct-attach cables. The correct accessories depend on the connection distance, fibre type, interface speed and equipment at the end.
