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.

Campus aggregation & small coresCollect gigabit access switches over 10G fiber and route between VLANs with OSPF/IS-IS/BGP — for mid-size parks this family often doubles as the core itself.
Fiber-to-building backbonesThe full-SFP 60FM-E and 28FX-E terminate building fibers directly — 48 or 24 GE SFP ports plus 4×10GE SFP+ up to the core.
High-density PoE floors36PM-E and 60PM-E aggregate and power dense AP or camera floors: PoE+ budgets of 420 W on one PSU, 720/960 W on two, with time-based PoE scheduling to cut idle-hour consumption.
Not the right pick if you need…
  • 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.

10G Aggregation Switch FAQ — S5860-E Series

Should I pick a modular or a fixed S5860-E unit?
Modular when uplinks will grow, fixed when the closet is settled. The series has 8 models: 5 modular units (2.56/25.6 Tbps, one expansion slot taking an 8 × 10GE SFP+ or 2 × 40GE QSFP+ card) and 3 fixed units (1.36 T/13.6 Tbps) with built-in 1+1 redundant power.
What uplinks and base ports do S5860-E models carry?
All 8 models ship with 4 × 10GE SFP+ uplinks; a typical build is 24 × GE RJ45 + 4 × 10GE SFP+. On modular units the expansion slot adds 8 more 10GE SFP+ ports or 2 × 40GE QSFP+, lifting forwarding to 756 Mpps versus 462 Mpps on fixed units.
What routing protocols does the series support?
IPv4: static routing, RIP v1/v2, OSPF, IS-IS, BGP4 and uRPF. IPv6: RIPng, OSPFv3, IS-ISv6, BGP4+ and IPv6 VRF, with dual stack and 6to4/ISATAP tunnels. Tables hold 48K IPv4 and 16K IPv6 routes, 64K MAC and 17K ARP entries, and MCE/MPLS VPN handles multi-tenant separation.
How is power redundancy handled?
Modular units take pluggable dual PSUs in AC, DC or mixed AC/DC 1+1 redundancy, accepting AC 100–242V, DC -57 to -38V or HVDC 130–380V. Fixed units ship with built-in 1+1 redundant power on AC 100–240V or DC -38 to -57V. MTBF exceeds 400,000 hours with MTTR under 30 minutes.
Does it fit service-provider and data-center designs?
Yes — beyond campus aggregation it supports MPLS VPN and MCE, VxLAN, Portal v1/v2/v3 and 802.1X access authentication with RADIUS/TACACS+, plus NETCONF/YANG and zero-touch provisioning for automated rollouts. Reliability features include MC-LAG, VSE stacking, ECMP, VRRP/VRRPE, ERPS, ZESR/ZESR+ and BFD.
Can the order be placed under our company name with our forwarder?
Yes. For corporate buyers, the purchase order can be submitted to the manufacturer under your company's real name, so it appears on the official order. For small and mid-size orders we hand over directly at your designated forwarder's warehouse in China, on EXW or FOB terms.
How many access switches can one S5860-E aggregate?
It depends on the downlink ports. The full-SFP S5860-60FM-E takes up to 48 access switches on one 1G fibre each (24 if every access switch is dual-homed), and the S5860-28FX-E up to 24. The RJ45 models (QM/X) can also take access switches on copper, but only within 100 m. For 10G access links, keep two SFP+ ports as uplinks and use the other two plus an 8×10GE card on a modular model: 10 access switches at 10G. With 48 × 1 Gbps down and 4 × 10 Gbps up the ratio is about 1.2:1, which is comfortable for office and CCTV traffic.
Should I stack two S5860-E switches with VSE or pair them with MC-LAG?
Both are listed. VSE virtual clustering (up to 160G stacking bandwidth, N+1 backup) makes the two units one logical switch with one configuration, which is simplest to run; cross-device link aggregation then lets each access switch uplink to both. MC-LAG keeps two independent switches, so one can be upgraded or rebooted while the other carries traffic, at the cost of configuring both. The page lists VSE explicitly for the fixed models and MC-LAG for both modular and fixed, and does not say which ports carry stacking or whether modular and fixed units can be mixed, so send us the design and we will confirm before ordering.
Which SFP+ and QSFP+ modules does the S5860-E need, and are they included?
No optics are included: the 4 SFP+ uplink ports take 10G SFP+ modules (or DAC cables for short runs inside the rack), the 2×40GE card takes QSFP+ modules, and the 60FM-E/28FX-E downlinks take 1G SFP modules. The page does not publish a third-party module compatibility list or say whether the SFP+ ports also run at 1G, so tell us the module types and distances you plan to use, or let us supply matched optics; the page offers a free card, optics and cabling list from your fibre plan. Use the same fibre type and wavelength at both ends of every link.
Can the S5860-E replace or sit beside Huawei, H3C or Cisco switches in an existing network?
Yes, as long as the design uses standard protocols: 802.1Q trunks, 802.3ad LACP, STP/RSTP/MSTP, OSPF, IS-IS and BGP4 with MD5 authentication, VRRP, BFD, ERPS rings, IGMP/PIM multicast, RADIUS/TACACS+, SNMP and sFlow are all listed. ZESR/ZESR+, ZESS, VSE, VRRPE and ZGMP are ZTE Wantong features, so use them only between ZTE Wantong units; for a mixed-vendor ring use ERPS or MSTP, and for a mixed gateway pair use VRRP. Configuration is done in its own CLI (web management is listed for the fixed models), so rebuild existing Cisco or Huawei configs rather than copying them.
What happens to PoE on the S5860-60PM-E if one of its two power supplies fails?
The switch keeps running, but the PoE budget falls from 960 W (two PSUs) to 420 W (one PSU); on the S5860-36PM-E it falls from 720 W to 420 W. If your connected load is under 420 W, for example 48 cameras at about 6 W is 288 W, nothing changes; if it is higher, some ports will lose power until the PSU is replaced. Keep the critical load within the single-PSU figure, and use time-based PoE scheduling to switch off APs or displays outside working hours.
Can the S5860-E be the gateway and DHCP server for the camera and office VLANs?
Yes. DHCP Server, Relay and Snooping are listed, so it can hand out addresses per VLAN or relay them to a central server, and with two units VRRP gives each VLAN a gateway that survives a switch failure. Dual-direction ACLs and IPv6 VRF let you keep the camera VLAN away from office users. It still needs a router or firewall for Internet access and NAT, which are not listed, reached by a default route or OSPF/BGP.
