Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch OS6570M-U28-EU L3 Managed Gigabit Switch 24 Ports PoE+ 740W

The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch OS6570M-U28-EU is a high-performance, Layer 2+/Lite Layer 3 managed Gigabit switch designed for enterprise networks requiring high-speed connectivity and Power over Ethernet (PoE+). With 24 multi-Gigabit RJ-45 ports supporting speeds from 100M to 10G and 4 SFP28 uplink/stacking ports, this switch delivers exceptional throughput and flexibility. It features a total PoE power budget of 740W, making it ideal for powering devices such as IP phones, wireless access points, and surveillance cameras. The switch supports stacking of up to 8 units via Virtual Chassis technology, simplifying management and scalability.

Advantages

This switch offers a robust set of features for demanding network environments. Its multi-Gigabit ports provide future-proof connectivity for high-bandwidth applications, while the generous PoE budget eliminates the need for separate power sources for connected devices. The stacking capability allows for easy expansion and unified management, reducing operational complexity. Advanced security features including 802.1X, ACLs, and DHCP Snooping ensure network integrity.
