Product overview
CE6820-48S6CQ-A-B is the front-intake airflow variant of the CE6820 48×SFP+ / 6×QSFP28 leaf class. Authorized data lists 2.16 Tbps, 470 Mpps, dual 600 W AC, and about 7.7 kg.
It is not interchangeable with CE6820-48S6CQ-B or CE6881-48S6CQ without checking software, forwarding, and airflow. Quote the exact -A-B PID when the row requires front intake.

Deployment scenarios
Huawei CE6820 procurements that specify the -A-B airflow PID.
10G leaves with 100G uplinks in front-intake rows.
Suitable for data center deployments where this platform class is required. Confirm faceplate, modules, and software options against the project design.
Technical selection notes
Do not substitute CE6881 solely because capacity matches — forwarding and PID differ. Confirm optics and airflow.
Not recommended for
Not CE6820-48S6CQ-B without checking the airflow/PID suffix.
Not a 25G leaf.
Not a campus access switch.
