Which Product Models Support Copper Transceiver Modules?

Fixed Switches

Huawei fixed switches support only one type of copper transceiver module: SFP-1000BaseT, a GE copper transceiver module that has been certified by Huawei.

Table 1 describes the fixed switches' support for copper transceiver modules.

Table 1 Fixed switches' support for copper transceiver modules

Series	Support for GE Copper Transceiver Module
S2700	Not supported
S2750	Supported on all optical interfaces except the combo optical interfaces
S3700	Not supported
S5700-LI	Supported on all optical interfaces except the combo optical interfaces, in V200R002C00 and later versions
S5700S-LI	Supported on all optical interfaces, in V200R002C00 and later versions
S5700-SI	Supported on all optical interfaces except the combo optical interfaces NOTE: 10GE interface cards are supported in V200R002C00 and later versions. When interfaces on a GE interface card use GE copper transceiver modules, the interfaces can go Up, but the commands used for configuring the interface speed, duplex mode, auto-negotiation, MDI, flow control, and virtual cable test cannot be used on the interfaces.
S5700-EI	Supported on all optical interfaces except the combo optical interfaces and interfaces on 10GE interface cards NOTE: When interfaces on a GE interface card use GE copper transceiver modules, the interfaces can go Up, but the commands used for configuring the interface speed, duplex mode, auto-negotiation, MDI, flow control, and virtual cable test cannot be used on the interfaces.
S5700-HI	Supported on all optical interfaces NOTE: 10GE interface cards are supported in V200R002C00 and later versions. When interfaces on a GE interface card use GE copper transceiver modules, the interfaces can go Up, but the commands used for configuring the interface speed, duplex mode, auto-negotiation, MDI, flow control, and virtual cable test cannot be used on the interfaces.
S5710-LI	Supported on GE interface cards NOTE: When interfaces on a GE interface card use GE copper transceiver modules, the interfaces can go Up, but the commands used for configuring the interface speed, duplex mode, auto-negotiation, MDI, flow control, and virtual cable test cannot be used on the interfaces.
S5710-EI	Supported on all 10GE optical interfaces, in V200R002C00 and later versions
S5710-HI	Supported on fixed 10GE optical interfaces on the panel
S5720-HI	Supported on fixed 10GE optical interfaces on the panel
S6700	Supported on all optical interfaces, in V200R001C01 and later versions

Modular Switches

None of combo optical interfaces supports GE copper transceiver modules.

Optical interfaces on GE optical interfaces cards support copper transceiver modules.

On a 10GE interface card, the 10GE interfaces that can work in GE mode support GE copper transceiver modules.

GE optical interface cards of modular switches support only Huawei-certified copper transceiver modules. When non-Huawei-certified copper transceiver modules are installed on interfaces of Huawei switches, the interfaces still work as optical interfaces
