6-a-1 stands for the six-around-one cable bundle mode, with one cable in the center and six cables bundled evenly around it.
- 802.3bz requires that the ALSNR value for alien crosstalk between Ethernet cables be greater than 0, but the standards for Cat5e and Cat6 unshielded twisted pairs do not specify the required ALSNR value. Therefore, such cables may not meet the crosstalk requirement in 802.3bz, causing severe problems such as continuous packet loss or port flapping may occur.
- According the cabling specification TIA TSB-5021, using Cat5e and Cat6 cables for 5G poses high risks.
- Currently, no clear onsite testing or evaluation method is available for checking whether ALSNR of cables conforms to 802.3bz.
If a port works at a rate of 5 Gbit/s and a Cat6 shielded Ethernet cable is used, the Ethernet cable must comply with ISO 11801 PL Class E (+All) or TIA Cat 6 Channel (+All). If a Cat6A shielded Ethernet cable is used, the Ethernet cable must comply with ISO 11801 PL2 Class Ea (+All) or TIA Cat6A Channel (+All). Otherwise, serious problems such as continuous packet loss or interface flapping may occur.
If a port works at a rate of 10 Gbit/s and a Cat6A shielded Ethernet cable is used, the Ethernet cable must comply with ISO 11801 PL2 Class Ea (+All) or TIA Cat6A Channel (+All). Otherwise, serious problems such as continuous packet loss or interface flapping may occur.
If Cat5e and Cat6 unshielded twisted pairs do not meet the 5G requirement, you are advised to replace them with shielded twisted pairs or reduce the rate of ports to 2.5G.
If Cat5E, Cat6, or Cat6A unshielded twisted pairs are used on electrical ports working at 10 Gbit/s, severe problems such as continuous packet loss or port flapping may occur.

USB flash drives from different vendors differ in model compatibility and drivers. If a USB flash drive cannot be used, try to replace it with another one from a mainstream vendor. Switches support a maximum of 128 GB USB flash drives.
Indicator Description
- If the switch has no configuration file, the system attempts to enter the web initial login mode. In this mode, the status of mode indicators is as follows:
- If the system enters the web initial login mode successfully, all mode indicators turn green and stay on for a maximum of 10 minutes.
- If the system fails to enter the initial login mode, all mode indicators fast blink for 10 seconds and then restore the default status.
- If the switch has a configuration file, the system cannot enter the web initial login mode. In this case, all mode indicators fast blink for 10s, and then return to the default states.
The S6720-SI series switches provide a command for setting fault indicators, which help field maintenance personnel find a faulty switch quickly.
The SYS indicator and mode indicators (STAT, SPED, and STCK) are used as fault indicators of a switch. If the switch fails, its SYS indicator and mode indicators can be configured to blink red fast so that field maintenance personnel can find this faulty switch.

Power Supply Configuration
The S6720-32C-PWH-SI-AC is a PoE switch. It provides two power module slots, each supporting a 580 W, 650 W, or 1000 W (applicable in V200R013C00 and later versions) power module. A 580 W AC power module and a 650 W DC power module can be used together. A 580 W AC power module and a 1000 W AC power module can be used together. Table 4-88 lists its power supply configurations.

Heat Dissipation
The S6720-32C-PWH-SI-AC uses a pluggable fan module for forced air cooling. Air flows in from the left, right, and front sides, and exhausts from the rear panel.
This figure only shows the airflow direction and does not depict the actual device.
