Huawei offers several all-optical switch series, including CloudEngine S5732-H, S5735-S-V2, and S5736-S, designed for high-speed optical campus and data center networks.

Overview of Huawei All-Optical Switches

Huawei all-optical Ethernet switches provide optical uplink and downlink ports to support high-speed fiber-to-the-room access, with port rates ranging from GE, 2.5GE, 10GE, 25GE, 40GE, 100GE, to 160GE . These switches are suitable for core, aggregation, and access layers in campus networks, offering high bandwidth, low latency, and strong anti-interference capabilities. They are ideal for modern networks with growing IoT devices and high-bandwidth applications.
