The Alcatel-Lucent OmniSwitch 6860 Virtual Chassis Full Layer 3 Ethernet Switch is a compact, high-density Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) and 10 Gigabit Ethernet platform designed for converged networks. There are four models of this series: OS6860-P24, OS6860E-48, OS6860E-P24Z8, and OS6860E-U28. The following ETU-LINK will introduce the OS6860E-48 switch and optical module solutions separately.

The OS6860-48 switch is equipped with 48 10/100/1000 Base-T ports and 4 1G/10G SFP+ ports. The configurable optical modules are shown in the table below.

If the transmission distance between devices is short, you can also use 10G SFP+ direct attach cables. The above is ETU-Link's recommended Alcatel-Lucent OS6860E-48 switch optical module matching solution. For more optical module matching solutions, please refer to previous blogs.
