Managed Switch HUAWEI eKit S380-S8P2T Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000

The HUAWEI eKit S380-S8P2T Managed Switch is a 1U rack-mount Gigabit Ethernet device with eight RJ-45 downlink ports supporting 10/100/1000 Mbps and Power over Ethernet (PoE). With a switching capacity of 16 Gbit/s and support for up to 2000 MAC address entries, the switch is designed for stable connectivity and centralized network management in small and medium enterprise indoor deployments such as SOHO offices, small hotels, factories, schools, and building security systems.

Advantages

This managed switch provides flexible Ethernet networking with PoE support on the eight downlink ports, enabling simplified cabling and power delivery to connected devices such as IP phones, access points, and cameras. The device’s compact 1U rack form factor and a 16 Gbit/s switching capacity allow for efficient port aggregation and predictable performance. Support for up to 2000 MAC addresses helps accommodate growing device counts while maintaining stable forwarding.

Suitable for

• SOHO and small office networks
• Economic hotels and hospitality environments
• Small factory or industrial office network segments
• Primary and secondary school network access
• Building security systems and IP camera deployments

How to use

Install the switch in a standard 19-inch rack using the supplied mounting brackets or place it on a stable shelf if rack mounting is not available. Connect uplink ports to your core router or aggregation switch and connect end devices to the RJ-45 downlink ports. If using PoE, ensure connected devices are compatible with the switch’s PoE standard and that overall PoE power budget is not exceeded. Access the switch management interface via the console port or web/SSH (depending on the model firmware) to configure VLANs, QoS, port settings, and security policies as required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, locate the switch in a ventilated environment away from direct heat sources, keep firmware up to date, and plan VLAN and PoE power distribution in advance to match the number and type of connected devices.
