Silver rack-mount network switch with 48 SFP ports and 4 SFP+ uplinks

Alcatel-Lucent

Alcatel-Lucent OS2360-U48X OmniSwitch 48-port SFP Gigabit network switch 4x10G SFP+

SKU CH-MRRR-3BPQ8

Fiber-only switch with 48 SFP ports at 1G and 4 SFP+ uplinks at 10G for backbone aggregation

  • High-density fiber backbone with 48 SFP ports for 1G links
  • Four 10G SFP+ uplinks deliver high-speed aggregation capacity
  • Layer 3 Lite routing supports static routes and RIP for traffic control
  • Managed via CLI, WebView 2.0 GUI and OmniVista 2500 or Cirrus cloud
  • Enterprise-grade reliability built for demanding optical networking environments

48-port fiber aggregation switch

The Alcatel-Lucent OS2360-U48X is a high-density fiber switch built for backbone aggregation and large-scale optical networking. It provides 48 SFP ports for 100/1000 Base-X links and four SFP+ ports for 1/10 GbE uplinks. The platform runs the Alcatel-Lucent Operating System with L3 Lite features including static routing and RIP. It targets network engineers deploying enterprise-grade fiber infrastructure.

Fiber-only chassis with module-dependent

Every port on this unit requires a separate SFP or SFP+ transceiver module, which are not supplied with the switch. The 48 SFP cages accept 100 Mbps or 1 Gbps optics, while the four SFP+ cages support 1 Gbps or 10 Gbps modules for uplink flexibility. This design means physical installation and cabling plans must account for sourcing compatible optics before the switch becomes operational. Enterprise-grade construction supports continuous operation in demanding environments.

L3 Lite routing scope and management options

Layer 3 capability is limited to static routing and RIP for IPv4 and IPv6, so networks needing OSPF, BGP or advanced dynamic protocols must look elsewhere. Management is handled through CLI, the integrated WebView 2.0 GUI, OmniVista 2500 NMS or the cloud-based OmniVista Cirrus service. Wire-rate performance applies to the switching fabric, but the routing throughput will follow the constraints of the L3 Lite feature set. QoS and ACL functions operate within the same L2+ framework.

Questions about this item

What speeds do the 48 SFP ports and 4 SFP+ uplinks actually support?

The 48 SFP ports handle 100 or 1000 Base-X, while the 4 SFP+ uplinks run at 1 or 10 GbE; all ports need matching transceivers.

What physical space and modules are required to deploy the OS2360-U48X?

The unit is a fiber-only chassis with 48 SFP slots and 4 SFP+ slots; you must supply every transceiver, and the switch mounts in a standard rack.

How is the OmniSwitch 2360 configured out of the box, and what step is often missed?

Management runs on AOS via CLI, WebView 2.0 GUI, OmniVista 2500 NMS or OmniVista Cirrus; the common miss is inserting SFP/SFP+ modules before powering on.
