Allied Telesis 48-port Gigabit switch

The Allied Telesis AT-GS980M/52-10 is a rackmount Layer 3 switch built for network access. It delivers 48 copper ports running at 10/100/1000Base-T plus four SFP uplink slots for fibre connectivity. The unit is managed and supports Allied Telesis Management Framework for automated administration.

Suited for wiring closets needing high port

This switch fits environments that require 48 Gigabit connections to desktops or devices with aggregated fibre links to the core. It is not intended for deployments that need Power over Ethernet for endpoints, nor for installations that require stackable switching beyond rack-mounting, or 10 Gigabit uplink speeds.

Layer 3 routing and AMF edge capability

The switch operates at Layer 3 and can function as an Allied Telesis Management Framework edge node when a Master is present. This enables automated configuration and firmware management across the network, reducing manual tasks for administrators.

Questions about this item

How does the 48-port density translate to usable connections in a live rack?

Forty-eight copper ports each auto-negotiate at 10, 100 or 1000 Mbps, giving you 48 active Gigabit links to desktops or access points without consuming uplink capacity.

What practical throughput limit do the four SFP uplink slots impose?

Each SFP slot accepts a 1000Base-X transceiver, so the four uplinks combined can carry up to 4 Gbps of aggregated traffic to the core.

What physical mounting does the chassis require?

The unit is a rackmount chassis that bolts into a standard equipment rack and draws power from its internal supply.
