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:

• Aggregate bandwidth across multiple upstream links

• Run LACP for redundancy

• Dedicate uplinks to specific VLANs

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.
