OmniSwitch 6450-10

GIGABIT ETHERNET
LAN SWITCH

The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6450 Stackable Gigabit Ethernet LAN value switch family
includes a series of 10-port models (non-PoE, Power over Ethernet [PoE], Fast and Gigabit
Ethernet) for classroom, workgroup and small enterprise segments. Designed with an optimized
size, low-power consumption, fanless operation and a rich software feature set, the OmniSwitch
6450-10 models provide a highly available, self-protective, easily managed and eco-friendly
collocation solution.
Service providers offering managed
services have the option to install the
Metro services license enabling a set of
Metro Ethernet features. This allows the
OmniSwitch 6450-10 port models to be
quickly integrated into the providers
network as advanced customer premise
equipment (CPE) devices.
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6450-10
models use the latest technologies and
Alcatel-Lucent Operating System (AOS)
innovations.

Solutions benefiting from the OmniSwitch

6450-10 switches are:
Classroom and workgroup networks
Small enterprise or branch office networks
Commercial and residential managed services

Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch
6450-10
The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6450-10
offers eight user ports for smaller network
environments. These models are power
and acoustically optimized, with a halfrack width (8.5 in./21.59 cm), and have a
fixed configuration chassis in a 1RU form
factor. All models are fanless and have
an internal power supply. PoE models are
both 802.3af/802.3at compliant and offer
120W of power for PoE attached devices.
The OmniSwitch 6450-10L/P10L models
have the user port speeds fixed for
10/100M operation. These models are
upgradeable to gigabit speeds in the
future using the OS6450-10L-UPGD
license upgrade.
