2.1 Chassis Overview
Huawei S6700 series Ethernet switches provide the access, aggregation, and data transport
functions. They meet requirements for reliable access and aggregation and high-quality
transmission of multiple services on enterprise networks. S6700 switches use an integrated
hardware platform. S6700 hardware consists of the chassis, power module, fan module, and
switch control unit (SCU).
The S6700 switch models include S6700-24-EI and S6700-48-EI.

2.3.5 Power Supply
Power Supply Configuration
On a S6700 switch, one or two power modules can be configured.
When two power modules are used, they work in 1+1 backup mode to provide power for the
device. In the versions earlier than V200R005C00, the AC and DC power modules cannot be
configured on the same device, while in V200R005C00 version, they can be configured on the
same device.
Figure 2-6 shows the power supply connections of dual DC power modules. After DC power
is transmitted to the PWR module, the PWR module provides -53 V output voltage, and the
motherboard provides power for the entire device.

Figure 5-5 Appearance of single-mode SC/PC fiber jumper

Select fiber jumpers according to the following rules:
1. Determine the length of fiber jumpers based on the actual cabling distance.
2. Determine the fiber type based on the optical module type.
l Use a multimode fiber jumper for a multimode optical module.
l Use a single-mode fiber jumper for a single-mode optical module.
3. Determine the optical connector type based on the interface type.
Ensure that the optical connector at each end of a fiber jumper is the same type as the
interface connected.
Fiber Pigtail
A fiber pigtail is an optical fiber that has an optical connector on one end and a length of exposed
fiber at the other end. The exposed fiber can be fused to another optical fiber. Fiber pigtails are
commonly used to connect optical fibers to optical fiber modules in fiber terminal boxes.
(Couplers and jumpers are also used.) Figure 5-6 shows the structure of a fiber pigtail.

Fiber pigtails are classified into single-mode and multimode fiber pigtails and are used for short-
distance connections.
Optical Fiber, Optical Connector, and Fiber Adapter
Optical Fibers
Optical fibers are classified into single-mode fibers and multimode fibers.
l Single-mode fibers have a diameter of 5-10 um and transmit laser light in one mode with
a specified wavelength. These fibers support a wide frequency band and a high transmission
capacity, so they are used for long-distance transmission. Most single-mode fibers are
yellow, as shown in Figure 5-3.
l Multimode fibers have a diameter of 50 um or 62.5 um and transmit laser light in multiple
modes with a specified wavelength. These fibers have a lower transmission capacity than
single-mode fibers and are used for short-distance transmission. Most multimode fibers are
orange, as shown in Figure 5-4.
Optical Connector
Optical connectors are used to connect optical fibers of the same type. Table 5-2 lists common
optical connectors.

NOTICE
When connecting or removing a square connector, align the connector with the optical interface
and do not rotate the fiber. Pay attention to the following points:
l To connect a fiber, align the head of the fiber jumper with the optical interface and insert the
optical fiber into the interface gently.
l To remove a fiber, press the latch on the connector and pull the fiber out.
Fiber Adapter
A fiber adapter (also called a flange) is a fiber connection component. Fiber adapters are widely
used in optical distribution frames (ODF), fiber transmission equipment, or optical instruments.
5.3 Network Cable
Types of Network Cables
A network cable connects a maintenance terminal to the console port on the main control board
for local or remote maintenance.
Network cables are classified into straight-through cables and crossover cables.
l A straight-through cable connects a terminal, such as a computer or switch, to the network.
The straight-through cable uses two RJ45 connectors, which have the same pinout.
l A crossover cable connects two terminals, such as computers or switches. The crossover
cable uses two RJ45 connectors, which have different pinouts.
Appearance and Structure
NOTE
l Generally, a network cable is a standard unshielded network cable that uses RJ45 connectors.
l The appearances of the straight-through cable and the crossover cable are the same.

About This Chapter
NOTE
l Optical modules have different encapsulation types, and different interface rates are available for each
encapsulation type.
l Optical module appearances shown in this document are examples only, and the appearance of
delivered optical modules may differ.
l Use optical modules certified for Huawei switches. Non-certified optical modules cannot ensure
transmission reliability and may affect service stability on the switch. Huawei is not responsible for
any problem caused by non-certified optical modules and will not fix such problems.
l All the optical modules listed in the documentation are Huawei certified optical modules.

Terms
Encapsulation type
Encapsulation types of optical modules include SFP, eSFP, SFP+, QSFP+, XFP, as
described in Table 6-1.
Table 6-1 Encapsulation types of optical modules
Encapsulation
Type
Description
SFP Small form-factor pluggable.
eSFP Enhanced small form-factor pluggable. An eSFP module is an
SFP module that supports monitoring of voltage, temperature,
bias current, transmit optical power, and receive optical
power. Sometimes, eSFP is called SFP.
SFP+ Small form-factor pluggable plus, which is SFP with a higher
rate. SFP+ modules are more sensitive to electromagnetic
interference (EMI) because of their higher rate. To reduce
EMI, SFP+ modules have more springs than SFP modules and
the cages for SFP+ modules on a card are tighter.
QSFP+ Quad SFP+, four-channel SFP+.
XFP 10-GB small form-factor pluggable transceiver, 10GE optical
module. X is the Roman numeral 10, indicating 10G. All XFP
modules are 10G optical modules.

Transmission distance Maximum distance over which optical signals can transmit. Optical signals sent from
different types of sources can transmit over different distances due to negative effects of
optical fibers, such as dispersion and attenuation.
Interface rate Maximum rate of electrical signals that an optical device can transmit without bit errors.
Various interface rates are defined in Ethernet standards, such as 125 Mbit/s, 1.25 Gbit/
s, 10.3125 Gbit/s, and 41.25 Gbit/s.
Center wavelength Wavelength measured at the midpoint of the half-amplitude line in the transmit spectrum.
Fiber mode Mode of fibers defining based on core diameters and features of optical fibers. Optical
fibers are classified into single-mode fibers and multi-mode fibers. Generally, multi-
mode fibers have large core diameters and severe dispersion, so they transmit optical
signals over short distances when working with multi-mode optical modules. Single-
mode fibers have small dispersion and can transmit optical signals over long distances
when working with single-mode optical modules.
Modal bandwidth Bandwidth measured at a point with transmit power several dB lower than that of the
point with the peak center wavelength. Modal bandwidth reflects spectrum
characteristics of an optical module.

Fiber diameter Diameter of the core of a fiber. According to international standards for optical fibers,
the diameter of a multi-mode fiber is 62.5 um or 50 um, and the diameter of a single-
mode fiber is 9 um.
Fiber class Optical signals with different wavelengths have their best working windows in different
optical fibers. To help efficiently adjust wavelengths or dispersion features of optical
fibers and change their refractive indexes, the following classes are defined: multi-mode
fiber (G.651), common single-mode fiber (G.652), shifted dispersion fiber (G.653), and
non-zero shifted dispersion fiber (G.655). G.651 and G.652 are commonly used fiber
classes.
Connector type Type of the interface on an optical module to accommodate a fiber. Commonly used
connector types are LC (applicable to all the SFP, SFP+, and XFP modules), MPO
(applicable to some of QSFP+ modules), and SC.
Transmit optical power Output optical power of an optical module when it is working properly.
Maximum receiver
sensitivity
Minimum average input optical power that the receiver of an optical module can receive
within a range of bit error rate (BER = 10
-12
).
Overload optical power Maximum average input optical power that the receiver of an optical module can receive
within a range of bit error rate (BER = 10
-12
).
Extinction ratio Minimum ratio of the average optical power with signals transmitted against the average
optical power without signals transmitted in complete modulation mode. The extinction
ratio indicates the capability of an optical module to identify signal 0 and signal 1.
