The S5720-LI is a next-generation energy-saving gigabit Ethernet switch that provides flexible GE access ports and 10 GE uplink ports. Building on next-generation, high-performance hardware and the Huawei Versatile Routing Platform (VRP), the S5720-LI supports intelligent stack (iStack), flexible Ethernet networking, and diversified security control. It provides customers with a green, easy-to-manage, easy-to-expand, and cost-effective gigabit to the desktop solution. In addition, Huawei customizes specialized models to meet customer requirements to suit special scenarios.

The models with front power sockets can be installed in a 300 mm deep cabinet. They can be maintained through the front panel, saving space in small equipment rooms.

The S5720-12TP-LI-AC adopts a ground-free design. Only the 220V power module needs to be grounded. This design facilitates switch deployment in places where grounding is difficult, such as in a corridor.

The models that use a fan-free design reduce power consumption and noise.
