H3C S5560S-28F-EI, 24 SFP ports (including 8 combo Overview
H3C S5560S-28F-EI, 24 SFP ports (including 8 combo is a genuine modular capacity expansion product from H3C, a major enterprise networking vendor with strong presence in campus, data-center and carrier deployments. Belonging to the H3C family, the S5560S-28F-EI unit is built to the original factory specification, so it integrates with existing H3C deployments predictably and behaves exactly as the platform documentation describes. In the network, it is installed into a compatible chassis slot, where it works alongside the supervisor and line cards to extend the platform’s capabilities.
From a specification standpoint, it offers 24 ports for client, server or uplink connectivity; Power over Ethernet support. These are the original factory figures for this model, giving administrators a clear picture of what the unit can deliver before it enters service. Standard mounting, cabling and management practices apply, so deployment follows the same procedures as other H3C hardware already running in the environment.
Typical deployments include short-reach data-center interconnects, campus backbone fiber links, and carrier access and metro networks. Organizations commonly source it for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, keeping a tested unit on hand so outages stay short and replacements are predictable. The factory detail for this unit reads: “H3C S5560S-28F-EI, 24 SFP ports (including 8 combo interfaces) and 4 SFP+ ports.”. This makes it a practical choice when original-spec hardware is required at a predictable cost.

S5560S-28F-EI Deployment Scenarios
The S5560S is a gigabit aggregation switch with 10-gigabit uplink capability. In practice, this positions it for aggregation-layer switching: it is deployed for aggregating access switches and carrying traffic toward the campus core. Administrators typically choose this model when their network needs the 28 ports (fixed) configuration and Layer 3 features and they want a unit whose port layout and feature set match the role without overspending. It is commonly sourced for refresh programs, capacity expansion and spares management, and it integrates with the rest of the H3C fleet using the same management tools and CLI conventions.
H3C Reconditioning & Warranty
Every H3C unit at LinkNewNet goes through a dedicated reconditioning flow: hardware inspection, port-level testing, and verification of the Comware software state on supported models. Units are cleaned, graded and repackaged, and serialized records are kept so you can confirm what was tested. Each unit ships with warranty coverage and access to our technical support team; for H3C-specific questions about IRF stacking, Comware versions or port configuration we can confirm details before you order. Volume and project pricing is available on request.
