Huawei S5735-L8P4X-QA-V2: Silent 8-Port PoE+ Access Switch
Eight Ports. Four 10GE Uplinks. Zero Noise.
The Huawei CloudEngine S5735-L8P4X-QA-V2 is a fanless, silent Gigabit PoE+ access switch designed for small to medium-sized enterprise deployments. It fits in a 1U chassis, makes zero noise, and delivers enterprise-class features.
PoE+ Budget: 125W for 8 Ports
Eight PoE+ ports. 125W total budget. Here is what you can actually power:
The math is straightforward. This switch does not promise 8 full-power PoE+ ports — no 125W budget can. Instead, it gives you flexibility for mixed deployments. Four high-demand devices plus several low-power phones. That covers most small office, retail, and conference room scenarios.
Four 10GE Uplinks – More Than Expected
Most 8-port access switches give you two gigabit uplinks. This switch provides four 10GE SFP+ ports.
Why does that matter? Because when 8 clients are pushing traffic — video conferencing, cloud backups, VoIP — a gigabit uplink becomes a bottleneck. With four 10GE ports, you can:
The switching capacity is 96 Gbps / 520 Gbps with a forwarding rate of 72 Mpps.
Silent by Design, Cool by Nature
No fans means:
-
Zero noise — no fan hum, no moving parts
-
No dust ingestion — fans pull dust into electronics
-
Higher reliability — MTBF of 70.41 years
Cooling is entirely passive. Natural convection draws heat upward. Operating range is –5°C to +45°C — sufficient for climate-controlled indoor environments.
The chassis is 1U tall (43.6 mm) with IP20 ingress protection.
Enterprise Software, No Compromises
This is not a stripped-down "quiet switch." It runs the same VRP8 software as Huawei's enterprise lineup:
-
Layer 3 routing: static routes, RIP, RIPng, OSPF, OSPFv3
-
VLAN features: 4K VLANs, Voice VLAN, MUX VLAN
-
Security: 802.1X, MAC authentication, Portal authentication
-
Interoperability: VBST (compatible with PVST/PVST+/RPVST), LNP
-
Management: cloud management via iMaster NCE-Campus
What This Switch Does Not Have
Two important limitations to note:
-
No USB port — file transfer requires network methods
-
No ETH management port — management is in-band or via console
-
No redundant power supply — built-in AC is non-removable
Who Actually Buys This Switch?
The Bottom Line
The S5735-L8P4X-QA-V2 solves a simple problem: how do you put a switch in a small, quiet room without annoying anyone? The answer is fanless design, honest PoE budgeting (125W), four 10GE uplinks, and full enterprise software.
If you need 8 ports, silence, and 10GE uplinks — this is your switch.
