What it is
The Alcatel-Lucent Enterprise OmniSwitch 2360-P24 (OS2360-P24-UK) is a stackable gigabit ethernet LAN switch with Power over Ethernet. It sits in ALE's OmniSwitch 2360 series — a range built for structured, manageable business networking where reliability and stack scalability matter.
Who it's for
This switch suits IT teams deploying or expanding wired network infrastructure in offices, education facilities, or commercial buildings. It's a practical choice for installers and network engineers who need PoE at the access layer — powering IP phones, access points, or cameras — without stepping up to a much larger chassis.
Why it's good
- 24-port gigabit access with PoE — powers devices directly from the switch, no separate injectors needed.
- Stackable design means you can grow the network without replacing the core infrastructure.
- ALE OmniSwitch series is known for solid management software and long product lifecycle support.
- Gigabit on every port keeps up with modern PoE devices like Wi-Fi 6 APs and VoIP handsets.
When to choose it
Choose the OmniSwitch 2360-P24 when you need a manageable, stackable PoE switch at the access layer and want the reliability of ALE's enterprise networking platform. It's a better fit for structured IT environments than unmanaged alternatives. If you only need a handful of PoE ports with no management requirements, a simpler switch will do the job for less — but for anything that needs growth headroom and visibility, this is the stronger option.
