Huawei CloudEngine S5731S-L16P2SR-RUA Remote Unit (16-Port PoE+)
The Huawei CloudEngine S5731S-L16P2SR-RUA is a high-density, full-Gigabit Remote Unit (RU) designed to simplify large-scale campus network expansion. Featuring an impressive 16 x 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ ports and 2 x GE SFP optical uplinks, this unit provides massive terminal connectivity and robust power delivery. It is the ultimate solution for “Fiber-to-the-Room” or “Fiber-to-the-Desktop” scenarios where high device density is required.
Key Features & Product Highlights
-
Massive 16-Port PoE+ Density: Provides 16 Gigabit ports, all supporting IEEE 802.3at PoE+ (up to 30W per port), perfect for powering dense clusters of Wi-Fi 6 APs, IP phones, and smart sensors.
-
Redundant SFP Optical Uplinks: Equipped with 2 x GE SFP ports, allowing for redundant fiber backhaul (Dual-homing) or daisy-chaining multiple RUs to a central switch.
-
Simplified “Zero-Touch” Management: Managed as a remote expansion card of the central switch (e.g., S6730-H). It inherits all configurations automatically, eliminating the need for on-site software management.
-
Fanless Silent Operation: Despite its 16-port capacity, the advanced thermal design ensures 0 dB noise, making it ideal for quiet high-density workspaces.
-
Significant Cabling Savings: One fiber pair to this 16-port RU replaces sixteen long-run copper cables from the server room, reducing cabling costs and ELV room space requirements by up to 80%.
Performance
Forwarding performance: 27Mpps
Switching capacity: 36/120 Gbps
Accessories & Compatibility
-
Power Supply: Requires a high-wattage external 54V DC power adapter (e.g., Huawei 280W AC/DC adapter) to support the full 16-port PoE load.
-
Optical Modules: Fully compatible with Huawei GE SFP modules (SX/LX/BIDI).
-
Mounting Kits: Supports wall-mount, under-desk mount, and desktop placement.
-
Central Switch Support: Requires a Huawei Central Switch (e.g., CloudEngine S6730-H, S12700E) to function as a managed entity.
