Huawei CloudEngine CE6865E-48S8CQ Data Center Switch Ethernet Network Switch with 48x25G SFP28 8x100G QSFP28 VXLAN Routing and Bridging RoCE v1 and v2 Support

The CE6865E-48S8CQ is a next-generation 25GE data center Ethernet network switch built on the HUAWEI VRP8 software platform. It provides 48 x 25GE SFP28 access ports and 8 x 100GE QSFP28 uplink ports in a compact 1U chassis measuring 442 x 420 x 43.6 mm, delivering 4 Tbps switching capacity and 2000 Mpps forwarding performance. Every unit in our warehouse is powered on and verified port by port before dispatch, so buyers receive equipment that boots cleanly and negotiates links at the rated speed.

Designed as a Top-of-Rack switch, the CE6865E-48S8CQ pairs high-density 25GE server access with 100GE uplinks, allowing racks to be connected into a fully meshed fabric together with CloudEngine 16800, 12800 or 8800 core switches. VXLAN routing and bridging, together with RDMA over Converged Ethernet (RoCE v1 and RoCE v2), turn the fabric into a non-blocking Layer 2 domain that supports large-scale virtual machine migration and predictable east-west latency for distributed storage and AI workloads.

Dual redundant AC power modules and four hot-swappable fan modules keep the switch running through single-module failures, and airflow can be ordered front-to-back or back-to-front to match existing rack cooling design.

• High-density 25GE access: 48 SFP28 ports in 1U give each rack up to 48 server connections at 25 Gbit/s, while 8 QSFP28 ports carry 100GE uplinks to the spine.
• Low latency forwarding: a cut-through hardware pipeline and 2000 Mpps forwarding rate keep east-west round-trip delay within microseconds for storage and HPC traffic.
• VXLAN and RoCE ready: VXLAN routing and bridging plus RoCE v1/v2 support let one physical fabric serve multi-tenant cloud, VMware and AI training clusters without redesign.
• Redundant power and cooling: 1+1 AC power modules and four fan modules are hot-swappable, and airflow direction can be aligned with the aisle layout of the data hall.
• Verified before shipping: each unit is inspected, powered on and port-tested, and is packed in export-grade cartons with shock-absorbing foam for international transport.

• Top-of-Rack access switching in cloud and colocation data centers.
• Spine-leaf fabrics built with CloudEngine 16800, 12800 or 8800 core switches.
• AI and HPC clusters that need lossless RoCE transport between GPU servers.
• Aggregation or core layer of high-end campus networks and enterprise headquarters.
