Huawei CloudEngine S5731S-L8P2ST-RUA Remote Unit (8-Port PoE+)
The Huawei CloudEngine S5731S-L8P2ST-RUA is a high-density, full-Gigabit Remote Unit (RU) designed for modern campus networks. It features 8 x 10/100/1000Base-T PoE+ ports, providing both high-speed data and up to 30W of power per port to terminal devices. With its versatile dual-media uplink (1 x GE SFP + 1 x GE RJ45), it offers maximum flexibility for fiber or copper backhaul, making it the ideal “all-in-one” edge access solution.
Key Features & Product Highlights
-
High-Density PoE+ Access: 8 Gigabit ports support IEEE 802.3at PoE+, allowing you to power a dense cluster of devices such as Wi-Fi 6 APs, VoIP phones, and security cameras from a single unit.
-
Flexible Dual-Media Uplinks: Equipped with 1 x GE SFP and 1 x 10/100/1000Base-T uplink ports. This ensures compatibility with any existing room cabling, whether you use fiber-optic for distance or copper for shorter runs.
-
Zero-Configuration “Plug-and-Play”: As part of the Huawei Simplified Network solution, this RU requires no local configuration. It is managed as a virtual extension of the central switch, simplifying O&M.
-
Fanless Silent Operation: 0 dB noise design allows the unit to be installed directly in workspace environments without acoustic distraction.
-
Space & Cable Efficiency: One single uplink cable to this RU replaces eight individual cables from the main equipment room, reducing cabling costs by up to 80%.
Performance
Forwarding performance: 15Mpps
Switching capacity: 20/120 Gbps
Accessories & Compatibility
-
Power Supply: Requires an external 54V DC power adapter (typically the Huawei 150W version).
-
Optical Modules: Compatible with all standard Huawei GE SFP modules (SX/LX/BIDI).
-
Central Switch Support: Requires a Huawei Central Switch (e.g., S6730-H, S12700E) to function as a managed entity.
Why Choose S5731S-L8P2ST-RUA?
-
Ultimate Versatility: The “ST” uplink means you are never stuck—if the site has fiber, use SFP; if it has copper, use RJ45.
-
High Device Density: Perfectly handles areas with high concentrations of powered devices (IoT, APs, Phones).
-
Low Maintenance: No fans and no local management interface mean fewer points of failure and no need for specialized on-site IT staff.
