Need the PDF datasheet? Get it on WhatsApp →The ZTE Wantong S5860-E series sits between the S5150 access layer and the S7850 core: a three-layer, full-gigabit routing switch family whose every model uplinks at 4×10GE SFP+. The five modular models (36QM/60QM/60FM/36PM/60PM) run on a 2.56/25.6 Tbps platform with dual pluggable power modules — AC, DC or high-voltage DC, mixable in 1+1 redundancy — plus one expansion slot for an 8×10GE SFP+ or 2×40GE QSFP+ card. The three fixed models (28X/52X/28FX) are 1.36T/13.6 Tbps boxes with built-in 1+1 redundant power. The software stack covers static/RIP/OSPF/IS-IS/BGP routing, MPLS VPN and MCE, VSE virtual clustering up to 160G stacking bandwidth, and SDN interfaces (VxLAN, NETCONF/YANG). Specifications are quoted from the manufacturer's current datasheet; capacity figures follow the authoritative February 2026 documentation.
Two build styles, one aggregation family
Modular when uplinks will grow; fixed when the closet is settled.
Is this the right aggregation series for you?
Plain-language guide — based only on what these switches actually do.
- Plain gigabit access at the edge — the ZTE Wantong S5150 series does that for less
- A large chassis core with 40G/100G boards — that's the ZTE Wantong S7850 series
- DIN-rail or harsh-environment mounting — pick from our industrial switch lines instead

Who uses it, where it goes and how to plan the aggregation layer
Written for the ZTE Wantong S5860-E aggregation series from its own specifications: 8 models with 24 or 48 GE ports, 4×10GE SFP+ uplinks on every model, an 8×10GE or 2×40GE expansion slot on the 5 modular models, 1+1 redundant power and OSPF/IS-IS/BGP routing.
Who it is for
- Enterprise IT running a campus — The aggregation pair between access switches and the core: gateway for each building's VLANs with VRRP, OSPF or IS-IS toward the core, and on mid-size parks it can be the core itself.
- Campus, school and government fibre projects — The full-SFP S5860-60FM-E (48×GE SFP) and S5860-28FX-E (24×GE SFP) terminate one fibre per building or floor switch directly, with 4×10GE SFP+ up to the core and 802.1X/Portal authentication on the fixed models.
- ISPs and service providers — BGP4/BGP4+, MPLS VPN and MCE, flexible QinQ, Y.1731/CFM/EFM OAM, and −48 V DC or 130–380 V HVDC power inputs for telecom rooms.
- CCTV backbone integrators — Collect many PoE access switches over fibre, feed NVRs and storage over 10G, and use IGMP snooping and PIM-SM/DM so multicast video does not flood every port; the 36PM-E and 60PM-E also power cameras directly at up to 30 W per port.
Where and how to install
- Rack depth and position — Every model is 1U (44 mm) high and 442 mm wide, but 420–440 mm deep, so plan a full-depth 19-inch rack in the main or building distribution room rather than a shallow wall cabinet. Use rear support rails: the modular units weigh up to 8.1 kg.
- Two power feeds — Connect the two power supplies to two different circuits or UPS units, otherwise 1+1 redundancy protects only against a PSU failure, not a feed failure. Modular models take AC 100–242 V, DC −57 V to −38 V or HVDC 130–380 V modules (mixable); fixed models take AC 100–240 V or DC −38 V to −57 V.
- Side-to-rear airflow — Air enters at the left and right sides and leaves at the rear, so keep 5–10 cm free on both sides and do not mount it tight against rack side panels or between two switches that exhaust sideways. Rated operating range is -10°C to +50°C; in a hot-aisle/cold-aisle room check that the rear exhaust goes to the hot aisle.
- 10G and 40G fibre uplinks — Use two of the 4×10GE SFP+ ports to the core (or to two core switches) and keep the others for NVR, server or 10G access links. Need more: the modular models take one 8×10GE SFP+ card or a 2×40GE QSFP+ card, for example toward an S7850 core. The card and all optics are ordered separately, so list module type, fibre type and distance for every link.
- Out-of-band management — Wire the GE management port to a separate management switch or VLAN, keep the RS232 or USB console reachable for recovery, and manage with SSH, SNMP and NETCONF/YANG rather than Telnet. Point Syslog and sFlow at your monitoring server so a failed uplink or PSU shows up before users notice.
S5860-E series planning: which of the 8 models
Every model has 4×10GE SFP+ uplinks and full L3 routing. Choose by downlink type (RJ45 copper, GE SFP fibre or PoE+) and by whether you need room to grow: the five modular models take one 8×10GE SFP+ or 2×40GE QSFP+ card and pluggable power modules, the three fixed models have built-in 1+1 power and no slot. PoE camera counts assume about 6 W per typical fixed IP camera and 30 W per port for PTZ cameras or high-power APs.

- Pick the S5860-60FM-E to collect up to 48 fibre-connected access switches (for example S5150) on one unit: 48 × 1 Gbps down against 4 × 10 Gbps up is about 1.2:1, and the slot adds 8 more 10G ports later.
- Pick the S5860-28FX-E for a settled building with up to 24 fibre runs and no plan to add 10G cards: built-in 1+1 power and 802.1X/Portal authentication.
- Pick the S5860-60PM-E with two PSUs where one switch must both route and power a dense camera or AP floor: 960 W covers 48 ports at ~6 W with room left, or 32 ports at a full 30 W.
— = not listed on the page / not applicable. 25G and 100G ports are not listed for any S5860-E model. Ports at 30 W = PoE budget ÷ 30 W, capped at the number of PoE ports. The expansion card and optics are separate order items.
