Product overview
CE6863E-48S6CQ is a 1U CloudEngine data-center leaf with 48 × 25G SFP28 access ports and 6 × 100G QSFP28 uplinks. Authorized family data lists 3.6 Tbps / 940 Mpps, VXLAN/BGP-EVPN and M-LAG fabric features, and dual AC PSU / hot-swap fan kits on -B/-F variants.
Use it when servers need 25G and the spine side is 100G. Compare with CE6881H-48S6CQ / CE6820H-48S6CQ for adjacent CloudEngine leaf density, and with CE8850-64CQ-EI only when the faceplate itself must be native 100G.

Deployment scenarios
25G server leaf with 100G spine uplinks.
CloudEngine leaf refreshes that must stay on SFP28/QSFP28.
RFQs that ask for CE6863E datasheet/spec fields — use published ports and capacity on this PID page.
Data center leaf-spine / TOR planning based on the published optic mix. Leaf / TOR where the published optic map matches fabric speed.
Technical selection notes
Surface specifications from this product record for datasheet-style RFQs. Link official OEM PDFs only when a real URL exists — do not invent a PDF. Confirm -B/-F airflow kits on the PO.
Not recommended for
Not a GE copper ToR — use CE5855-48T4XS for 48×1G RJ-45.
Not a 64×100G fixed spine — use CE8850-64CQ-EI.
Not a campus PoE access switch.
What to confirm on the quote
- Exact PID CE6863E-48S6CQ including suffix

- Airflow / PSU kit
- iStack yes/no
- Quantity, destination, documentation (OEM datasheet if available), availability
Related / alternative models
Same-brand family first, then same deployment role, then cross-brand equivalents when useful. Different power/optic technologies are labeled explicitly.
FAQ
What access speed is listed?
48 × 25G SFP28 (10/25G capable on authorized data).
What uplinks are listed?
6 × 100G QSFP28.
What capacity is listed?
3.6 Tbps and 940 Mpps.
Where is the datasheet?
Use the published specs on this product page for RFQ fields. Ask for the official Huawei PDF on the quote when your process requires an OEM file — QianliSwitch does not host AI-generated “OEM datasheets.”
How does it differ from CE8850-64CQ-EI?
CE6863E is a 25G leaf with 100G uplinks. CE8850-64CQ-EI is a fixed 64 × 100G faceplate.
