Description
Product Name: OmniSwitch 6860 Layer 3 Multi-gigabit Switch
Manufacturer: ALCATEL-LUCENT ENTERPRISE
Product Description
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch® 6860 is an advanced family of stackable Ethernet switches. These switches offer Gigabit and Multi-gigabit speeds. They deliver high performance, scalability, and strong security. Also, they feature high-speed uplinks and 200G stacking. The platform supports up to 95W PoE per port. Furthermore, the high-density 10G ports are ready for Wi-Fi 6. Therefore, these switches are perfect for modern enterprise networks.
These devices provide excellent features for network edge deployments. For example, they improve Quality of Service (QoS), mobility, and programmability. The OmniSwitch 6860 connects wired and wireless LANs seamlessly. Thus, users and devices enjoy smooth mobility. In addition, the switches support Wi-Fi 6 and 802.11ac wave 2. Uplink speeds can reach up to 100G. Moreover, the 95W IEEE 802.3bt support easily powers new PoE devices. This includes security cameras and Wi-Fi 6 access points.
The switches run on the reliable Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS). AOS provides hardware-driven application monitoring. As a result, you get deep network visibility. This helps businesses meet their evolving needs. You can place these switches at the network edge or the aggregation layer. Similarly, they work well in small network cores or data centers.

Technical Specifications
-
Form Factor: The switches use a standard 1RU, 19-inch rack-mountable design.
-
Management Interfaces: Each device includes 1 USB port and 1 Ethernet Management Port. You also get RS-232 and micro-USB console interfaces.
-
Air Flow & Cooling: The system uses front-to-back airflow. Enhanced PoE models have 1 fan. Meanwhile, Advanced and Premium models (OS6860N) use 3 fans.
-
Environmental Tolerances: The operating temperature ranges from 0°C to 45°C (32°F to 113°F). The storage temperature stays between -40°C to 85°C (-40°F to 185°F). Also, the switches handle 5% to 95% non-condensing humidity and an altitude up to 13,000 ft.
-
Physical Dimensions: Enhanced models and OS6860N-U28 measure 4.4 x 44 x 35 cm. However, OS6860N-P48M and OS6860N-P48Z measure 4.4 x 44 x 44 cm.
-
LED Indicators: Non-PoE ports use green link/activity LEDs. Conversely, PoE ports use amber LEDs. RJ45 multi-gigabit ports feature dual LEDs for detailed speed and PoE status.
-
Virtual Chassis: Enhanced models use two fixed QSFP+ ports. In contrast, Advanced and Premium models use two 100G QSFP28 ports.
-
Warranty: The manufacturer provides a Hardware Limited Lifetime Warranty.
