The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6850E data sheet details its stackable LAN switch features, specifications, power options, and networking capabilities.
The OmniSwitch 6850E is a stackable, 1‑RU LAN switch offered in 24‑port and 48‑port configurations with optional 10‑Gigabit SFP+ uplinks. It supports wire‑rate layer‑2 and layer‑3 switching for IPv4/IPv6, advanced QoS, security features such as NAC, and full IEEE 802.3af/at PoE+ power delivery.
The switch provides redundant, hot‑swappable power supplies, dual‑image firmware, and up to 40 Gbps stacking bandwidth. It complies with a wide range of EMC, safety, and networking standards, making it suitable for edge, aggregation, or core deployments in midsize to large enterprise networks.
| Port configurations | 24 or 48 ports |
|---|---|
| PoE standards | IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at (PoE+) |
| Physical dimensions (chassis only) | 44.0 cm W × 27.0 cm D × 4.4 cm H |
| Operating temperature | 0 °C to +45 °C |
| Acoustic level | < 48 dB |
| Stacking capacity | 20/40 Gbps (full‑duplex/aggregated) |
It supports both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards for power over Ethernet.
The switch can be equipped with up to four 10‑Gigabit SFP+ uplink ports, either as built‑in ports or via an optional 10‑GigE plug‑in module.
It offers redundant, hot‑swappable power supplies, dual‑image firmware with dual configuration files, and stacking for virtual chassis redundancy.
The device operates from 0 °C up to +45 °C, with storage temperature ranging from –10 °C to +70 °C.
