Checking the optical module power of Huawei switches

ODN and passive infrastructure knowledge brief Published 21 Jul 2026

Prepared for preliminary research by the GESTIONVAL ODN knowledge desk. Confirm network topology, split ratio, box or cabinet capacity, joint closure rating and loss budget against current standards and product documentation.

Execute the command, display transceiver [ interface interface-type interface-number | slot-id ] [ verbose ] to check the optical module information on the device interface. During use, reading optical module information helps understand its real-time operating status, enabling faster troubleshooting of link abnormalities. The following uses the. Taking the Huawei 5700 series switches as an example, the commands to view optical module information are as follows: Transceiver Type :1000_BASE_SX_SFP Connector Type :LC Wavelength(nm) :850 Transfer Distance(m) :300(50um),150(62. Sample Output: (Can see link down and not receiving any power from the neighboring device) Or can do filtering:. Today, ETU-LINK will introduce how to query the information of optical module on Huawei switch. If not, replace it with a Huawei-certified optical module.

Displaying Optical Module Information

Although these optical modules have the same wavelength, optical power alarms occur because different vendors design different optical power indicators for these optical modules.

How To Read Optical Module Information On Huawei Switches

Optical modules are widely used in switches, network interface cards (NICs), routers, and other communication devices. During use, reading optical module information helps understand

Checking TX / RX optical power for Huawei Switches and Routers

Here is an example on how to query or display optical power of an interface in a Huawei Router. This is tested using NetEngine40E Universal Service Router or NE40E running version 8.x OS.

How to Check SFP Power in Huawei Switch? Is Your Network

If your network feels sluggish or devices mysteriously disconnect, the culprit might be smaller than you think—buried inside your Huawei switch. SFP power levels (optical transmit and receive power) are

Troubleshooting for Optical Modules on Huawei Switch

If the transmit power remains low, replace the optical module or install it in another optical port to check whether it is faulty. If the optical module is faulty, send it to
