The Huawei S220-24P4X is an S220-series HUAWEI eKit switch with 24 Gigabit ports, 400W of PoE+, four 10GE SFP+ uplinks and built-in AC power. It suits networks that link each floor or building to the core at 10G.
====
The Huawei S220-24P4X fits a network that has moved past a single switch and now has one switch per floor or building feeding a core switch. It combines 24 Gigabit ports with 400W of PoE+, four 10GE SFP+ uplinks and a built-in AC power supply. It is part of the S220 series in the HUAWEI eKit line, which Huawei sells to small and medium businesses through distribution partners, separate from its large-enterprise switch portfolio.
Huawei S220-24P4X specifications
These figures come from Huawei's official eKit product listing:
- 24 x 10/100/1000BASE-T ports.
- 4 x 10GE SFP+ ports.
- 400W total PoE+ budget.
- Switching capacity: 128 Gbit/s.
- Packet forwarding rate: 95 Mpps.
- Built-in AC power.
Why four 10G uplinks?
A switch feeding 24 cameras and access points aggregates a lot of traffic, and a single 1G uplink chokes it. With four 10GE SFP+ ports you can link to the core at 10G and use the remaining ports for a second switch on the same floor, an NVR or a server. The 128 Gbit/s switching capacity means all 24 access ports and the four uplinks can run at full speed together.
400W for a whole floor
The 400W budget covers a mix of cameras, access points and IP phones on a typical office floor. Add up your devices' draw before assigning ports.
Where it fits in Saudi Arabia
- Office towers: one switch per floor linked to the server room over 10G fiber.
- Hospitals and medical complexes: corridor cameras, ward access points and nurse station phones.
- Universities and multi-building schools: one switch per building with fiber between buildings.
- Hotels in Makkah or Madinah: room access points on each floor with a 10G link to the core.
Planning a multi-switch network
Take a five-floor building as an example. Put one of these switches on each floor and link each one to the core with a 10G uplink. Traffic from each floor's cameras and room access points stays organized until it reaches the core, and you can grow later by adding a switch for a new floor without touching the rest. If a floor needs more than 24 devices, the same series includes the S220-48P4X.
S220-24P4X or S210-24P2J?
Both have 24 Gigabit PoE+ ports, a 400W budget and built-in AC power. The difference is uplinks and capacity: the S220-24P4X has four 10GE SFP+ ports and 128 Gbit/s, while the S210-24P2J has two 2.5G SFP slots. Choose the S220-24P4X when your core switch supports 10G.
Frequently Asked Questions
